Product Review: Chrisi Baby Clothing
________________________________________________________________
About the company: "Chrisi.com was created with the intent to inspire the imagination of others. Our purpose is to bring art, creativity and beauty into everyday items and into our everyday lives. We create and sell objects of unusual design and beauty which are created with lots of color, fun and imagination! Our boutique features pieces that make great gifts for birthdays, baby showers and holidays, something for someone special and hopefully and a little something for you."
The big pitch: Great quality funky kids' clothing for as little as $19 per set.
When you have a child, one thing that begins to get very important to you, very quickly, is quality. There are litterally millions of different kids clothing designs out there, but when you really care about your baby enough to buy the best, the last thing you want as a consequence is some kind of mass-produced Osh Kosh B'Gosh or Baby Gap brand name splashed across your child's chest.
At the Sundance Film Festival last year, we encountered a group of interesting kidswear designers who were launching their brand in a big way, and the celebrities were falling over themselves to get a piece of the action. Rubbing shoulders with Kevin Bacon, Kyra Sedgwick, and Neve Campbell, the folks from Chrisi.com told us that their babywear was great quality, and it was clear that the designs were unique and fun, so we decided to road test some of their garments to see if this was a company we could recommend.
And now, the verdict is in... Chrisi.com is great stuff.
First of all, the prices are incredible. We're talking K-Mart pricing, for unique, high quality childrens wear that, after six months on a child, not only still looks great but remains intact. From ponchos to bath sets, T-shirts to accessorized outfits, stuffed toys to bracelets and everything in between, not only did we as parents love this stuff, but it quickly became the fashion of choice among the toddlers.
But not only does Chrisi make great clothing wear for toddlers, they also do the accessories, and that in itself is worth the time taken to have a look. Everything from bicycle bells with green frogs painted on them to bobby pins and hair clips with strawberries attached to the end, this really is a creative website and an entertaining catalogue to go through.
In our road test, we set $100 as our spending limit and got three coordinated kids clothing sets (each with a long-sleeved shirt, pants, and sleeping cap) with animal designs, one very cool little tiki shirt for boys, a stuffed rabbit with a book, and a bath set with thick toweled swaddling blanket, rubber ducky, and terry-toweling handtowels. All that for less than $100? Yes indeedy, and the postage turnaround was very quick.
Chrisi.com does menswear, ladies wear, furniture art, T-shirt designs, accessories, jewelry... Seriously, take a look. You're bound to find something that someone you love will enjoy.
The Product Trends rating: We pride ourselves at Product Trends at being able to spot quality in a sea of medicority, and when it comes to our experience with Chrisi.com, we were pleasantly surprised at every turn. Mark our words, this is quality stuff. Four stars.
