decaf plush Accentuates the Positive with Felt Appliqués

Looking for something different in trendy, super-cute clothes for tots? The Giggle Guide^® has discovered a standout collection from decaf plush, that features whimsical yet modern designs and vibrant colors. Original illustrations, crafted with felt appliqués give this brand a fresh look for infants and toddlers. The line ranges from graphic tees and one-piece bodysuits to retro-inspired cotton print dresses, rompers and jumpers — each topped off with a cute, one-of-a-kind appliqué.

Launched six years ago, decaf plush is the brainchild of designer/owner Kimberly Murray who combined her background in architecture, furniture and graphic design, as well as her overwhelming interest in vintage clothing and decor, to create decaf plush. What was once a small partnership has grown into a thriving business with broad U.S. distribution, including retailers in Japan, Europe and Australia. Each and every decaf plush design is proudly made in America.

The artists at decaf plush have fun creating digital designs, including animals, fruits, flowers and other inspirations. After a series of revisions, each design is recreated in colorful felt and appliquéd to an already adorable dress or tee. No two creations are exactly alike, as cutting and stitching techniques change frequently.

The fabrics used include bright cotton prints, ultra-soft velveteen, Holland wool, denim, and — new for Fall 2010 — organic lightweight canvas. The Fall styles include the Birds on a Branch Dress, Doe A Deer Corduroy Skirt, Ships Ahoy Tee or Bodysuit, and Corduroy Romper with Trains Appliqué. Clothing prices retail from $32 to $54.

Decaf plush also specializes in beautiful appliquéd throw pillows. Choose from the 70s Van on Wood Print; Birds on Branch; Whales in Love; Butterflies in Flowers; Elephant; Owl; Peacock; Snail; Squirrel; Plane and Truck Appliqués — as well as colorful animal-shaped pillows featuring an owl, bird or elephant. Pillows retail from $66 to $88.
