Fun of a Kind

Lali Clothing

You gave your twins original names, only to learn that half the tots at the playground answer to the same.

Satisfy the urge to be unique once and for all with baby basics from Lali Clothing.

The individually crafted cotton onesies, tees, and hoodies (sizes newborn to 4 years) are the stitch work of designer Heather Williams. Her bold felt creatures — whales, bees, raccoons — come hand-finished with button eyes, rickrack waves, and contrast quilting.

She’ll even pull out the stops with made-to-order vintage-inspired jumpers and jackets.

For truly matchless moppets.

Available at Lavish, 540 Hayes Street, between Octavia and Laguna Streets (415-565-0540 or shoplavish.com); The Mission Statement, 3458a 18th Street, between Sycamore and 19th Streets (415-255-7457 or missionstatementsf.com); online at laliclothing.com.
