Why I love Japanese Baby Clothes

1. Stress free dressing - wrap style clothes

Traditional Japanese baby clothes are 'wrap' style, just like Japanese kimono for adults. This means that you don't have to pull anything over the baby's head when you change them. It's perfect for those first few months before your baby's head has settled. I know from personal experience how stressful it can be!

2. Vibrant - unique colours and patterns

Japanese baby fashion is bright, vibrant and unique. Japanese textiles desginers have a long history of producing gorgeous fabrics of the highest quality, which are great for children's clothing.

3. Safety - fewer poppers

Unlike most western baby clothes Japanese style baby clothes typically use 'ties' instead of poppers. As you know, poppers are not always reliable and using more ties helps to reduce the number of poppers on the garments.

4. Flexible - room to grow

Ties on traditional Japanese baby clothes are also great as they allow more room for the baby to grow - because you can easily adjust them for larger or smaller babies.

5. Less chance of irritation

Kimono 'wrap' style baby clothes have an inside layer on top of which the care label can be placed. As baby's skin is so delicate it is important to keep anything that can cause irritation away from it - reducing the risk of any possible irritation.

And finally, they are just super-cute!
