Fierce Hugs: Artistic, organic baby tees

I love any kind of quirky design for my girl.  If I can help it, you’ll never see her in anything with an ice cream cone or a butterfly on it. So I was happy to find Fierce Hugs, a company started by two girlfriends carrying tees and onesies ($24) designed by some very original and talented international artists like Silvia Osella from Torino, Italy, and Dagmar Meinders from The Netherlands. A few stars were impressed at the Silver Spoon Hollywood Dog and Baby Buffet recently, too, where Fierce Hugs was a sponsor. Scott & Renee Baio, Tori Spelling, and Samantha Harris all picked up tees for their tots.

With seven cool designs ranging from a vintage car print to a jar of marmalade chasing a strawberry, the selection isn’t huge so far, but it’s quality over quantity here. Made from organic cotton using Fair Labor practices, the clothing is environmentally and socially conscious, too. I used to think the organic label wasn’t worth the extra money, but it feels good to know my daughter is in something made without pesticides, and that she’s trying just a little to make up for all those disposable diapers we go through. (I’m working on the cloth diaper thing — I promise.) The tees hold up very, very well in the wash, too. And most of the designs work for both genders so it can be passed on to a younger sibling or a pal. Fierce indeed.
