Tea Party!

July 30th, 2011

Winner Update: According to Random.org, commenter #34 is the winner of the Tea Collection clothing! I’ll be contacting you, Sara (www.lifewithleg.blogspot.com) to tell you about how to claim your prize.

Have you heard of Tea? It’s a clothing line based out of San Fransisco that is inspired by world travels. Each season their designers pick a region of the world and design a line of kids clothing based on their experiences with that culture.

“Travel opens anyone’s heart and mind to people and places that we don’t know. The clothing we create at Tea transforms the foreign world into a smaller, friendlier and more familiar place. We believe that we bring a little bit of that world home to you.”

– Emily Meyer, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer

When I was asked to review some of their clothing, I was so excited and had a hard time choosing what to pick from their girls clothes. There is a lot of variety on the site: plenty of comfy clothes, perfect for play, and also lots of extra-special dresses for fancier occasions. I was impressed with how reasonably priced the items were, especially on their sale pages. In the end I selected three of the Flamenco Dot Banded Dresses that I plan to have the girls wear when we have our family portraits taken in the orchard this year during apple harvest.

(I hope they’re a tad more cooperative when we try to get them to pose this fall.)

I took the girls shopping this morning and fielded many oohs and ahhs when passersby caught a glimpse of all three kids dressed so cutely. Usually I am trying to ignore the glares of fellow shoppers as my kids (who look like hobos and are usually wearing cowboy boots and dirty bathing suits at the supermarket) throw tantrums, so this was new for me.

The other dresses I chose included the Artista Wrap dress for Avelyn and she looked like a doll in it. The material is really lightweight and she loved it. I also got her the Moderisme Ruffle Dress, but the photo shoot was beginning to crumble so I don’t have a decent photo of her wearing it.

My experience shopping with Tea was swell. They were helpful, personable and I really think their product is worth sharing. So, that’s where you come in….who wants a $75 gift certificate to Tea? Just leave a comment and you’ll be entered to win. (Please note that at this time they are unable to ship internationally so the winner will have to be able to provide a US shipping address.) The contest will close on August 10, 2011.

Good luck!

    I have seen some pieces of their clothing in a store up here. They looked great for everyday wear. And the quality of the fabric and manufacturing looked well made. I could easily spend that $75 on clothes for the boys!

  21. Emilynz Says:

    I think you should choose Claire (and me!) for the prize. That way Tea can expand into NZ and when people comment on how cute Claire looks I can tell them to look up the website :) Free international advertising! (sorta) I do have a US shipping address I can get it sent to in case you were worried. Haha!
