LINE OF THE TIMES
With a nod to the real wants and needs of our on-the-go kiddies—and their street smart
parents, comes Kea + Joby, cozier, comfier and cooler tyke wear, dedicated to create quality digs sans the loud logos (read: advertising) and cutesy creature overkill (read: how many duckies and bugs can they wear at one time?). So for the parents who opt for a much more simple, stylish and smart look, this modern line helps kids be kids by letting their own sense of individuality shine through. Versatile and totally hip, Kea + Joby stylishly takes kiddies from playgrounds to parties without an outfit change in sight.

HERO WORSHIP
Superheroes and the like have gotten a bit dark and
dodgy lately, right? Who needs them? Now your little

These shirts just might save the day—and your sanity,
because not only do they bolster your child's imagination
and sense of self, but they also keep him or her
whimsically cute and comfortable.
