Keep Your Children in Style with Tralala Clothing

By Katie Wilber

There's a clothing designer located in California who puts her French roots into the clothing she designs for little girls. The combination gives a very unique shopping experience to mothers of little girls.

Anastasia Backstrand is the owner and designer of Tralala, a children's clothing boutique. Long before leaving France, Backstrand was mesmerized by patterns and colors. She eventually earned an education in fashion design in Paris. In the mid 90s, she left France for California, where she lives and designs clothing today. Tralala became a reality in 2003 with her vision to design high-end children's clothing.

Kids don't have to trade fashion to be comfortable at playtime. Dressing your kids in clothing from Tralala will make them the best dressed kids on the playground. Tralala delivers a French look of floral appliques, along with black or red toile patterns.

It is nothing short of an understatement to say that the clothing line from Tralala is unique. The clothing is made from 100% soft-combed cotton. The clothing has not been pre-shrunk so the fashions will shrink the first time they are washed. The French children's wear is sized for average children at every age so take that into account when choosing the appropriate size for your little darlings.

The company offers limited edition, one-of-a-kind prints exclusive to Tralala. The prints may best be described as classic or romantic. Some of her designs add a bit of Oriental flare with bold black and white fabric outlines for skirts and play clothes sets for every child from infants to youth size. One look and you'll have no doubt that they are something special.

New for the Spring 2009 collection is an organic baby and toddler clothing line called Pure. The one-time fashions that catered to little girls, offers babies of both genders a chance to get to feel the luxurious and stylish cotton fabrics that are a signature of the Tralala clothing lines.

All clothing is made from 100% bamboo cotton, mother of pearl buttons, and organic satin. The collection is set to include blankets, dresses, layettes, and pant sets. The line is expected to be more stylish and appealing than the blander, organic clothing currently available to the discerning parent.

The company has partnered with Kids in Distressed Situations -- an organization that helps kids with the pure necessities of life such as shelter, food, and clothes. A portion of all sales from the Pure line will be given to the organization.

Tralala makes a habit of helping out those in need. It's also been involved with the Make-A-Wish Foundation and Feed the Children.

As with many retailers these days, Tralala's high-end children clothing can be found across the country and over the internet. If you're looking for something different for your little girl or as a gift for a child, you'll want to check out Tralala. Although the clothing looks like expensive French fashion, it's sure to become your child's favorite, cozy thing to wear thanks to its down-to-earth comfort. - 16650
