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.
While the boys' ranges tend to sport basic designs in terms of cut, the ranges for girls are quirky and cute. Even a pair of brightly colored leggings gets a unique treatment by adding frills at the bottom, for an almost psychedelic Victorian feel. Dresses and tops are often adorned with bows and frills but the loose-fitting cuts ensure that they're extremely comfortable. If you want everyone to know that your baby is a girl, dress her in an adorable onesie with a little tutu in some bright color such as purple.
The only drawback of the brand's clothes is that grown-ups can't wear them. There are ranges for boys and girls, from newborns to 12-year-olds. The US stores also include ranges for girls aged 12 to 16 so that there's a stylish alternative for tweens who don't yet want to look like little women.
Most ranges include pants, T-shirts and tops and, for the girls, dresses. However, you'll also find sleepwear and swimwear ranges. To complete the outfit, you'll find accessories from shoes and sandals to the cutest sunhats and watches. Girls can also choose from bags and headbands. For babies, you'll find adorable booties. Then there are also ranges of bedroom decor, with everything from pillowcases and sheets to mobiles for the nursery.

If you're not in any of these locations, don't despair, though. Simply order online, since Naartjie delivers to 205 different countries.
