Innovative And Fun Naartjie Kids Clothes

By Harriet Porter


Naartjie is a word used by South Africans to refer to a small, round, sweet citrus fruit. Naartjie kids clothes had small beginnings in a Cape Town garage. However, this brand soon grew due to its unique flavor and style. Now it not only has stores throughout South Africa but all across the United States and in the Middle East as well. It also has e-commerce sites and is planning to expand these into new areas.

The brand is innovative with a unique fresh flavor and bright colors, just like its namesake. The playful clothing is designed to be kid-friendly. The garments are not only trendy and fun but practical and durable too.

The garments are constructed mostly of cotton which is pre-shrunk. They are dyed after they have been stitched which gives them their vibrant color. This clothing may be rugged and durable but a special washing process makes them soft to the touch and comfortable to wear.

The brand stays abreast of current trends and translates them into clothing appreciated not only the parents who buy them but the children who wear them too. New collections are produced on a yearly basis, using current colors, prints and designs. Every second year one outfit is released for fans of the Jie Jie range. This range is named after a fairy who lives at the foot of Table Mountain in Cape Town.

From line to line, attention is paid to the tiniest detail of design. There is a continuity of design and color so much mixing and matching can be done to make up outfits. The range includes items for newborns, babies and girls and boys up to ten years old. Dresses, bottoms, tops and sleepwear are all available as well as accessories like footwear.

This brand regards quality as very important and this is revealed in every part of the process, from design through to when the garment is ready for sale. Due to the process involved in creating the garments, they do need to be washed separately before wear. In order to keep the unique coloration, there are special guidelines for care that need to be followed.

Placing an order is very simple on one of the e-commerce sites. One can browse through the garments in various categories before selecting a particular design. Once a garment has been selected, a size can be chosen by looking at the size chart. Size is determined by height and weight of the child. A foot measuring guide is available for download as well. Once the order has been placed, payment is made through a secure site by credit card or internet banking.

This company started in 1989 and after opening its first shop at the Victoria and Albert Waterfront in Cape Town in 1992 it did not look back. The brand attracted an international following and today it has many loyal customers throughout the world. The e-commerce sites are currently looking to expand into more territories. The regular production of new collections and many fun promotions make a good reason to visit a store or go online.
