Dress Your Children In Style With Naartjie Kids Clothing

By Mattie MacDonald


Finding nice clothes for your children can be a challenge. Some clothing designers seem to think that kids will be perfectly happy in outfits make them look like little grown-ups. Others forget that kids run around and need comfortable clothes. With Naartjie kids clothing, however, your children can look stylish while still being kids.

A 'naartjie' is a word in South African English, derived from the Afrikaans word 'nartjie'. It's a kind of mandarin orange that's very popular with children because it's sweet and peels easily. Naartjie clothing chose the perfect fruit to name their brand after, since their clothes are children's favorites too.

The company was started in 1989 in Cape Town, South Africa. Originally the clothes were sold at Greenmarket Square, a popular flea market and tourist attraction in the city center. The first store opened in the upmarket Waterfront shopping center in Cape Town three years later and today it has stores not only all over South Africa but in the USA too, with its headquarters now based in Salt Lake city.

Most children love colors that are bright and bold and the clothing brand fulfills their every desire. Many pieces are available in fruity colors like peach, bright orange, lime green or watermelon pink. Blues and more subdued grays and browns are often used too, especially in the boys' ranges. Most pieces are made of pure cotton for comfort and bold patterns such as animals or flowers are often a feature.

Especially the girls' clothing has a quirky, old-world feel. Leggings may have frills at the bottom, for instance, like something from Victorian times except that they come in bold colors such as orange. Tops and dresses are loose-fitting and flowing for comfort but are also very girly, with details such as frills and bows. Even baby clothes may be quirky, with a bright tutu attached to a onesie, for instance.

To the disappointment of many grown-up fans or the brand, the clothes are for kids only. There are different ranges for baby girls and boys as well as for girls and boys up to the age of 12. In the USA, you'll find a range for tween girls as well so you don't have to dress your daughter in some revealing, age-inappropriate outfit because you can't find anything else in the stores.

Apart from basics such as T-shirts, pants and dresses, the company also makes a wide range of sleepwear, swimwear and accessories. There are cute baby booties, sandals and shoes, sunhats, headbands, bags and even watches. In addition, there are several ranges of bedroom basics, with bedding, diaper stackers, mobiles and wall decorations.

The best way to shop for your child is to take him or her along to your nearest Naartjie store. In this way you can ensure a perfect fit and that your child will like the outfit. Apart from those in South Africa and the USA, there are stores in Saudi Arabia too. Of course it's not always possible to get to a physical store but the great news is that you can order online too, with Naartjie shipping to more than 200 countries.
