The Story of Zutano

How does a new baby change the lives of two successful artists living in New York City? For designer & art director Uli and professional photographer Michael Belenky, the birth of their first child fostered a wholly new sense of artistic purpose and creative desire. Suddenly aware of the meager offerings in the children's clothing market in 1989, Michael and Uli came to a well-researched conclusion: even in the Big Apple, choices of style, fit, originality and color when dressing their new baby Sofia left much to be desired. Surely there was more to being a baby than pink and blue...

And so it was with desire and determination that Uli set out on her own sewing machine, amid fabric swatches and color chips in the couple's New York City apartment, hand- stitching prototypes for the very first Zutano clothing line. One small production run later, Zutano was officially in the market. Colorful and comfortable basics - jackets, leggings, overalls and hats - became the first styles of Zutano's now classic Baby Basics. In a rainbow of just 6 colors, the styles became an instant favorite in many New York City boutiques: Orders were hand-delivered by Michael himself from the seat of a bicycle.

It didn't take long before the creative team outgrew their New York City space and began searching for a location to lay permanent roots. For Uli and Michael, now with their second little girl Ella, the calm, quiet countryside beckoned; where a family, and a company, could grow strong and healthy on green hills & fresh air. In 1991, the Belenky's packed up Zutano and headed up North to an old farmhouse in Cabot, Vermont.

Colorful new stripes, polka dots, and playful patterns were introduced to the Zutano program from this rural new location. With room to spread out - and serious customer demand - Zutano increased production, expanded its product line and turned full attention to its principle goal: to stand out in the children's marketplace with clothes that are supremely comfortable, utterly fashionable and uniquely fun. After all, babies deserve to be stylish too.

Comfort and originality; sweetness with sophistication; classic structure with a modern flare. Zutano's Baby collection has matured beautifully since those first 4 styles and 6 colors were chosen. Produced today in the absolute softest 100% cotton, in over 90 solids, dots, patterns, ginghams and stripes, Zutano is, as it always has been: designed to be mixed and matched. Grand introductions and gentle retirements keep the line consistently fresh and invigorating while offering countless opportunities for coordination. Constantly tailoring and streamlining the essentials, the Baby Interlock line has grown to include more than 15 body styles. Coordinating accessories like reversible blankets, booties, and even a striking plush bunny named Hip Hoppy (dressed in Zutano's finest miniature outfits) can now be combined to create the most lusciously colorful and truly unique layette set - custom matched to reflect the individuality of any baby.

Zutano's collection now includes a variety of fabrics such as the ever-popular Cozie fleece, French Terry and many Woven options. In the nearly 15 years since that first handful of Baby Basics rolled into a few Manhattan boutiques, Zutano has maintained a purity of image and conceptual consistency that ranks among the highest in the children's clothing industry. The brightest colors, the most sumptuous, high-quality fabrics, patterns and prints that embody the whimsical, and a tireless love for everything BABY: Combined, these elements have allowed Zutano to create some of the most diverse and outstanding children's product on the market.

New babies really do change lives, and from day one Zutano has been committed to giving every new baby the opportunity to express themselves: colorfully, comfortably, and with an individuality all their own.

Zutano, clothes unique as your baby.

Organic Cotton And The Environment

Eating food and wearing clothes grown without unnecessary chemicals is both good for you and the environment.

Organic farmers work with nature. Trees, hedges, and wide un-farmed field edges are important on organic farms. These provide habitats for natural predators such as beetles, spiders and birds which control pests. Farmland birds have declined by up to 95% since the introduction of pesticides into farming. Organic farming offers a real alternative and buying organic food supports a living countryside.

Organic farms have…
•44 per cent more birds in fields
•More than five times as many wild plants

Organic farming bans artificial fertilizers which pollute our waters. Organic farmers fertilize their fields by rotating their crops, using composted manure, and planting crops which naturally feed nitrogen to the soil. source: the soil association.

Jottum. Dutch honesty

Jottum! is a cry of excitement.

And also the imaginative brand of clothing made in Edam. It owes its fame to Dutch quality and boundless originality.
And the name? Well, that's a strange story.
Since the 14th century, jots have been appearing in the small Dutch city Edam. Eye-witnesses describe cheeky little chaps with long arms and legs. They always wear yellow caps. Jots simply love cheese, from sweet-milk to cheddar (and even grated). For centuries, the population of Edam has been guarding its warehouses. They were forced to: a hungry jot is resourceful. Between 1920 and 1929 they launched a veritable invasion. Cheeses disappeared by their dozens.
Edam was in an uproar.
But the tide turned on 21 June 1929. That night, the seamstress Klaar Klosje caught a sleepy jot. Her triumphant cry Jottum! echoed through the town. (Roughly translated it means "I've got him!") Klaar immediately noticed the jot's cute clothes. After some prodding, the jot admitted that they made their own clothes. And had been doing so for centuries. In subdued as well as eye-batting colours. And from fabrics that are perfect for adventurers - jots love rough and tumble. Shortly afterwards, the jots entered into a unique agreement with the Edammers. In exchange for 50 kilos of cheese a week, they would help Klaar Klosje to design children's clothes. To express her gratitude, the seamstress named the clothing line Jottum. This agreement with the jots - which is framed and hangs on our wall - has never been changed. Nor has our conviction that children are entitled to the best. This applies to cheese, but equally to clothes.

Jottum. Dutch honesty

Malia Obama appeared in Biscotti dress

It turns out that Michelle Obama may not be the only fashion trendsetter in her family.

After 10-year-old Malia Obama appeared on stage Tuesday night in a red silk taffeta dress made by Biscotti Inc. , the high-end children’s clothing label says it started receiving calls from retail buyers seeking to order the piece.

“Stores are going crazy all over it,” says Carrie Martin, spokesperson for the Oakland, Calif., label, which plans to put out a press release noting that Malia wore its $110 bubble-hemmed dress on election night. Unfortunately for the label, whose $50 to $120 girls’ dresses are sold by retailers such as Neiman Marcus, it had sold out of the style well before Tuesday. “It would have been nice to get some sales out of it,” says Bernadette Reiss, co-owner of Biscotti.

Citing cost as a factor, Ms. Reiss says she doesn’t plan to recut the dress. Instead, she’s hoping to dress both Malia and her sister, Sasha Obama, for the presidential inauguration. “We would be so honored,” says Ms. Reiss, who already plans to reach out and offer style assistance to the Obama daughters.

Pedoodles Shoe Features

Leather Construction
Every pair of Pedoodles is constructed of premium, top-grade, genuine leather. This flexible, breathable, natural material helps to promote healthy conditions around developing feet. Our choice of leather also requires very little care or cleaning to maintain its great looks -- something Pedoodles are known for.

PedFlex Flat-Rubber Soles
Going barefoot is excellent for foot development, but it isn't always practical. When walking outside or on rough surfaces, tender skin needs to be protected. Our exclusive PedFlex flat-rubber soles are the answer. These lightweight and extremely flexible soles provide protection, durability, and traction -- important for outdoor use.

Soft & Flexible
Young feet are incredibly soft and pliable. Any footwear you put on them should be the same. Pedoodles are not the hard, stiff "bucket" shoes of the past. We've designed them to be soft and flexible, with plenty of "wiggle room" for developing toes and feet. Our shoes naturally flex and form to your child's changing feet.

Seamless Footbed
All Pedoodles have soft, flat insoles that create a seamless footbed for tender young feet. The absence of any arch support helps to simulate barefoot walking conditions, which experts recommend.

Great Looks
There is no mistaking Pedoodles unique styling. Our attractive colors and fun characters will capture your child's imagination and spur their fashion sense at an early age. Read what some of our customers have to say about Pedoodles.
