Children Inspire Made-in-U.S.A. Brands

The diversity of businesses that offer juvenile products made in the U.S.A. is broad, but each has the same interests at heart. It’s for the kids. A few of the companies that have made the commitment are The Fig Orchard, Heather Hill Clothing, Funkie Baby and Nest Designs. Their products range from beautiful hair accessories and designer clothing to baby necessities and organic one-pieces. All are proud to proclaim, “Made in America.”

The Fig Orchard Cultivates Unique Hair Accessories

The Fig Orchard gives a Southern feel to hair accessories. It all started when a young girl wanted her hair barrettes to be different and her mother was determined to make something unique for her.

For three years, Owner Beth Spivey has been making different shapes and designs where no two barrettes are the same.

The accessories vary from flowers and owls to stars, hearts, and much, much more. Inspired by what young girls love, they can be any shape or color for endless possibilities. They are not mass produced, so each is one-of-a-kind.

Pricing ranges from $10 to $30 retail.

Heather Hill Clothing Tailors Unique Designs

Heather Hill Clothing puts fashion into children’s clothing. Heather Lanker, owner of Heather Hill Clothing, started out as a Hollywood costume designer. When her first daughter was born, she started designing her outfits. “As a mother, I want my children to wear clothes that are as unique as they are,” says Heather. With that thought in mind, she started designing clothes for children.

Eleven years in business, Heather Hill Clothing makes extraordinary, trendy, comfortable children’s outfits and accessories. The pricing ranges from $ 35 to $60 retail.

All clothes are handmade, so each is an exclusive outfit. One of their bestsellers is the Terrific Tie Dress. The company also offers women’s aprons, boys’ ties, and girls’ hair accessories.

Funkie Baby Brands Five Essentials

Funkie Baby is a company whose products are both functional and fashionable! When Cheryl Shonnard’s son was born in 2002, she couldn’t seem to find any soak proof bibs with style. She decided to start a line of soak proof baby necessities with fashion and functionality. The company started in 2004 and has been a success ever since.

Funkie Baby has worked to improve its line of products to make them stylish, affordable, and comfortable. The brand offers five products with 30 different prints: Bibs, Burpies, Go Mats, Wiggle Mats, and Roll n Go Travel Mats. Each product is made with soft, high-end cotton, soak-proof linings and distinctive fabrics to be pleasing to the eye and touch.

Bestsellers include Roll n Go Travel Mats ($64 retail) and Bibs ($2 retail) with new vintage hats coming soon. Cheryl Shonnard is proud to say, “I’ve never had a store return in the ten years I’ve been in business.”
