My Little Pakora: An Organic Baby Line and Multicultural Resources Center

Reenita Malhotra — Mon, 29 Sep 2008 07:50:18 +0000

Like many multicultural moms, I find a direct link between a sustainable way of living and the wisdom of old world cultures. As an Indian mom, I have always had a tremendously soft spot for South Asia inspired parenting resources. I have always maintained that it is not easy raising multicultural kids, so I will take all the help I can get.

An old adage tells us that company loves misery, obviously other moms like me feel the same way! I was thrilled to hear from Sonia Gupta about My Little Pakora, an organic children’s clothing retailer and online multi-cultural resource center, blends the latest information about organic and sustainable lifestyles with the uniquely similar cultural traditions of South Asia and other cultures around the world.

When I had my first child, what few items I bought were always unisex. I knew I wanted two children, and I also wanted to reuse whatever clothes and products we would need. Colette Kids offers unisex designs for little ones, and the best part is they are organic!

Made in the USA, Colette Kids onesies are constructed of 100% USDA Certified Organic Baby Rib cotton that is combed for softness and comfort. The graphic images have cute names and stories, like Charlotte the Pig. “Charlotte is an explorer. She likes bok choy and the water barrel.” Each item of clothing is silk-screened by hand.

Founded last year, RegionzKidz is the first company I have come across that combines eco-friendly clothing with cultural sensitivity. Caricature images of toddlers from various ethnic backgrounds and settings are featured on 100% organically grown cotton tanks from American Apparel. You can chose your image options, which are printed using water-based inks.

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