Get USA Children's Clothing Using Heritage Textiles

By Earnestine Clinger


A trip to your nearest big box, national retail chain will give you lots of inexpensive clothing options. The problem is that most of these are also very poorly made, and use cheap fabrics that will fall apart very quickly. Investing in heritage fabrics for your USA Children's clothing will help you get past this problem.

You do not have to settle for such inferior quality. Yes, the other, high quality options are pricier, but it is in investment. These clothes will not unravel or come apart. The great news is that they are still easy to care for, and often get softer with each machine wash. They also generally pay the sewers a living wage, with some being certified Fair Trade.

Regarding fabrics, there are many thick, high quality ones that will last, even if your kids are generally hard on their clothes. A great source of these is India. They use crafting techniques that are centuries old and done by hand. The fact that they have to be shipped over the ocean from a great distance is why they are pricier.

A great example of this type of technique is called Ikat, which produces a look that is almost like tie dye or watercolors. It is vibrant, colorful, and takes quite awhile to do by hand. This is another reason for the added expense in these garments.

Yes, it is cheaper and easier to go to the nearest big block store and buy your child cute, cheap clothing that you know won't last. But you can do better for your child.

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.
