Finding ethically sourced clothing that is also affordable and appealing to kids can be a challenge. I’m a long-time fan of Tea Collection. My girls have been wearing their soft cotton clothing since they were babies. No kidding, I’ve used Tea for back-to-school, for Easter, for our holiday photos . . . I am not kidding when I say I love this company. They’ve always got such fun, fresh clothes for girls in globally-inspired prints that somehow manage to be both fashion-forward and timeless. The cotton is thick and durable and the prints don’t fade in the wash.
I also love the company values of Tea . . . they have a big emphasis on being good global citizens and designing clothes that are inspired from various places around the world. Each factory must sign a Workplace Code of Conduct contract that outlines fair employment practices, facilities safety guidelines and compliance assurance methods.
It used to be that Tea only went up to size 12, and I was really sad at the thought of having to say goodbye to my favorite brand when India outgrew it. I was thrilled when, just in time, they started a teen line that goes up to size 16.
Here are a few of our favorite pieces from the Tea Collection line for teens.
- Stripe-Sleeved Pocket Tee
- Printed Jogger
- Good Karma Graphic Tee
- Double Dragons Embroidered Zip Cardi
- Printed French Terry Skirt
They’ve got a ton of fun fall and holiday stuff out now, too, and are currently running at 25% off sale. It’s a great time to stock up!
