People are discovering that the state of children's clothing in Northern California that is sold on the common market has become quite dismal. These products are of poor quality materials that shrink and fade color over everything in the washer. The mere fact that the seams are so loosely sewn that they easily pull apart is enough to make one wary of these mediocre apparel brands.

So what is your alternative? There are companies producing quality children's clothing in Northern California right now! Here's a list of some of the myriad good qualities of this clothing:

- Children love to wear hand-block printed and hand-loomed finest quality cotton. This clothing has been manufactured in an ethical environment by artisans who use only the best natural dyes

- These stylishly casual items are durably made to last long enough to even be passed down to other kids as they are outgrown.

- All of the prints are original and come in a variety of both vibrant and muted colors.

- Fine quality children's clothing in Northern California are handmade from heritage textiles, and are guaranteed to be naturally hypoallergenic. Heritage textiles can be wool, silk, or natural cotton and are created by skilled artisans.

One such amazing heritage textile known as Kalamkari, has been in existence since the 13th century, originating in India. This is a complex process where a special pen, known as a kalam, is used in a fabric decorating craft that involves seventeen separate steps. Today, in Andhra Pradesh, a southeastern state, where weavers and artisans have shared their craft through many generations, this material is still manufactured.

The dyes in this clothing are all natural, and are made from flowers, stems, leaves, bark, naturally occurring metals, and minerals. Each item of clothing is washed after each color is applied, and can be washed 20 times before the fabric is ready to be sold.

- Some of the children's clothing is designed with hand-block printing, which has a history of over 250 years of usage in India. First, a design is transferred to a specially prepared wooden block. Each distinct color requires a separate block, which give the appearance of a flat relief carving. Each block is then pressed steadily and firmly on the cloth in a slow and labor-intensive manner which yields unique and artistic results

- Few things feel better against the skin than 100% fair trade t-shirts made with certified organic materials. The cotton is grown without the use of genetically modified (GMO) seeds, synthetic fertilizers or pesticides. Healthy growing soil helps maintain a fine balance of only beneficial insect influence, and any weeds are removed as soon as they appear in the fields.

The World Trade Organization's definition of fair trade is a business partnership based in open dialog, mutual respect and full transparency, in order to promote better equality in the practices of international trading. Buyers pay an amount that is adequate enough that the artisans and cotton producers can sustain an acceptable livelihood. In exchange, consumers get quality products while encouraging positive social change.

Unique children's clothing is now available in Northern California!
