Tea Collection Children's Clothing Review & Giveaway





When it comes to my kids' clothes, I not only like for them to be great quality and comfortable, but also stylish and unique. I know, it seems like a lot to ask for when it comes to Children's Clothing, and to be honest...it's not always easy to find all of these things. That is, until I was introduced to Tea Collection.
What began in 2002 with 3 pima cotton sweaters and a vision of bringing a fusion of worldwide cultures and modern design to children's clothing, has since grown to include a large selection of distinctive apparel inspired by the beauty discovered while traveling around the world. With beautiful and modern clothing for boys and girls ages 0-12, everyone is sure to find something they truly love.

As I browsed the Tea website for the first time, I was in awe of their great collection of children's clothing. From cute Baby Clothes to modern tops, pants and more for girls and boys, they really have it all! Oh, and did I mention how user-friendly their site is?! The tabs along the top and categories along the side made it extremely easy for me browse and find what I was looking for.

I couldn't have been happier to learn we were going to have an opportunity to review a few pieces from their collection! Once I had made a decision of what I'd like to review (which wasn't easy with so many great things to choose from!), I placed my order over the phone with very friendly customer service. Orders can be placed right online from their website as well.

When the Flores Layer Sleeve Tee, Carrot Fit Denim Pants, and Guitarra Graphic Tee arrived I couldn't wait to check them out.

I decided to go with these great pieces because I thought they would be absolutely perfect for the end of winter, Spring...and even into summer. As I pulled them out of the package, I was instantly drawn to the beautiful colors and unique prints. They are casual, yet stylish and fun! I love it!

The quality is also impressive. I can tell each piece will last us a long time, even with frequent wear and washings. The kids have each worn their clothes several times since receiving them and they wash up beautifully. Not only that, but each time they wear them, people compliment them on how adorable their outfits are!

I first took a look at the fun Guitarra Graphic Tee for Kaden. What I love about it is the unique look, yet it's casual and simple enough to wear with almost anything... jeans, khakis, shorts, etc. I ordered it a little big so it would fit him now and into the summer. The 100% cotton is incredibly soft and I can tell he is very comfortable in it.



As I was checking everything out, Kaelyn was begging to try on her new clothes. Of course, I couldn't resist as I wanted to see them on her just as badly. Not only were these clothes even cuter in person, but absolutely adorable on. I love the style and look of the Carrot Fit Denim Pants. Not only are they easy to match with pretty much anything, but they are also easy to dress up or dress down.


Kaelyn is quite thin, so my one concern was about how they would fit. Thankfully...although a bit big, these denim pants have an adjustable waistband on sizes 2-12 years to provide a perfect fit.

Not only do I love them on Kaelyn, but she has also commented about how comfortable and soft the 100% cotton is. I am thrilled with these, and for her...well, they're her new favorite pair of jeans and ones she asks to wear almost every day.

Along with the cute jeans, I also had Kaelyn put on the adorable Flores Layer Sleeve Tee. Once again, the 100% cotton is very soft and comfortable for her to wear. I absolutely love the soft layers of this beautiful tee and think the floral design adds so much to it. Kaelyn's favorite part is the rose petal pink color.

I have found this to be something that can be dressed up or dressed down easily as well. Whether it's with jeans, a skirt or something else...one thing is certain, the Flores Layer Sleeve Tee always looks great!

I have been thrilled with the quality, style and comfort of each of these Tea Collection pieces. And of course, these are just a few of the many great pieces offered. Whether you're looking for Girl's Clothing, Boy's Clothing, or even women's clothing... you're sure to find something that suits your needs and taste. With so many choices and styles that are so easy to mix and match together, I would highly recommend Tea Collection to any parent.

Buy It: You can purchase the Flores Layer Sleeve Tee for $25, the Carrot Fit Denim Pants for $49 and the Guitarra Graphic Tee for $19 ... all found right on the Tea Collection website.
