Founded last year, RegionzKidz is the first company I have come across that combines eco-friendly clothing with cultural sensitivity.

Created by a local artist, RegionzKidz multicultural clothing features eight characters (four boys, our girls) in four ethnicities (Caucasian, Hispanic, African-American, Asian).
