When it came to baby clothes for my girls, I tried my best to avoid the pinky pastels - a tough, TOUGH feat, especially because there was much less to choose from a few years back (we won’t discuss how much one daughter has made pink her signature color…). Luckily, the trend in clothing has turned a bit for moms who don’t want to go cutesy for their babies, especially for the organic set.
Tomo & Edie has become a huge favorite of mine, and not only because the company is named after two adorable children who are best friends. Tomo & Edie’s kimonos achieve a unique organic style not only by using organic cotton, but also through a dye method called ‘Kusakizome’ - a traditional Japanese dye technique using materials from nature. Each Kusakizome kimono for babies ages 0-6 months are hand dyed with natural dyes such as tea, plants, flowers, as well as unbleached organic cotton for a truly natural look. The result is a tie-dyed effect with vibrant, earthy tones. Of course, each dye signifies a special property - tea, for good health; madder root, for good fortune; indigo leaves for protection; and logwood tree for integrity.
This week, I’m so excited to offer one Kusakizome kimono for a baby you love! Choose your favorite color, and whether you want the kimono in short, long, or combination style. This is a true organic indulgence for any baby - don’t forget, the kimono only comes in size 0-6 months. Same rules apply - leave a comment here, the original post, by Thursday night at midnight, PST, with an answer to this question - what is your favorite Tomo & Edie kimono color? Thanks for entering, and good luck!

Oh la la! This kimono makes me wish my little dude (2 1/2) was still a baby. But then I remember he’s oh-so close to potty training. I’ll just have to admire the kimono from afar. It really is cute.
