If you’re shopping for a baby gift and looking for an alternative to pastel pink and blue, try an organic baby kimono from Tomo & Edie.

Madder root has been used for centuries to achieve deep reds and oranges. The rich colors symbolize the rising sun and new beginnings and are a unique alternative to blue or pink. They are also available in blue, tan/brown, and purple/tan.

Each kimono is lovingly hand dyed using a traditional Japanese technique on certified organic cotton—a work of art for that special baby in your life. Tomo & Edie also offers soft unbleached organic cotton baby kimonos. The seams are sewn on the outside as not to irritate the baby’s delicate skin. The kimono wraps around the baby instead of going overhead, eliminating the first-time-mom panic as they dress their newborn. It also fits loosely to protect the sensitive umbilical cord area. Best of all, the kimonos makes diaper changes less stressful!

Tomo & Edie was founded by two friends, and mothers, who share a passion for other cultures, educating children, doing their share to preserve the environment, and promoting a peaceful existence. The business name was inspired by their young children. 

Staying true to the principles upon which their business was founded, 10 percent of all Tomo & Edie profits are donated to Unicef. Tomo & Edie also features a unique line of beautiful hair accessories hand-crafted from vintage Japanese silk kimonos.
