In today's world, fast fashion is king. That means items that are mass produced, and the fabrics are sometimes low quality, and only meant to be sewed quickly and sold cheap. This means inferior quality, and garments that often fall apart. This is why buying USA Children's clothing that uses heritage textiles are worth the investment.

There are alternatives - and while the alternatives tend to be more expensive, they last longer and offer a combination of style and comfort, whilst still being machine washable and tumble dry safe. Heritage fabrics are made in smaller batches, resulting in more unique clothing, and often under Fair Trade agreements that guarantee a reasonable wage to the laborers.

There many choices when it comes to the fabrics, but some of the best, and certainly the most colorful, come from India. They use techniques that have been honed and perfected for centuries by skilled workers. The fabric is finished, then shipped overseas to the United States. The long distance is what adds to the cost.

Techniques such as Ikat (similar to tie-dy) and hand block printing (slow, but able to produce designs that cannot be created any other way) involve time and skill - but the end result is well worth it.

It will always be fast and really easy to go to that local retailer that has cheap clothes and purchase those instead. Just remember they will be useless and faded very quickly.

Find companies that use artisan techniques and heritage fabrics to ensure your child's clothes don't need to be tossed before they even have a chance to outgrow them. These small batch garments are usually unique, with no two looking exactly alike. Your child will look great and have the best, most ethical wardrobe on the playground.
