Rikshaw Design Baby Clothing
You’ve designated your home a matchy-matchy-free zone. No amount of spit-up or Sesame Street is going to change that.
But the new Rikshaw Design collection just might.
The purveyor of kiddie boho has taken the same hand-printed, Indian cotton voiles used in its exquisite crib bedding and fashioned them into pint-size kurtas, bloomers, sun hats, and baby sacks.
Whipstitch detailing on shirt edges and dainty layered ruffles across bums make block-printed seahorses, paisleys, flowers, and foliage prints irresistible. Still, the pieces look best when paired with contrasting patterns and colors.
Even though they’re cut from the same cloth.
Available online at rikshawdesign.com.

The NYC-based collection for boys and girls takes an artistic look at spring with dresses, swimsuits, and tees inspired by Escher, van Doesburg, and Mondrian. Discount applies site-wide. Enter code DC25 at checkout; thru Mar. 18.

The fabrics are amazing and I was so looking forward to getting their bedding, but DO NOT order directly from Rikshaw Design, find another retailer. I placed an order for bedding in Nov of '09 to be delivered Feb '10 (and of course they insisted on charging my credit card when I placed my order instead of when it ships). No phone calls or emails to update my delayed, backordered, unavailable order. I would call to check in and no one ever called me back. The only time I was able to speak to someone was when I caught them on the phone. Even promises to call and update the status were not fulfilled. In June, after confirming the order had finally arrived, apologizing profusely, and offering to give me my bedding at wholesale (very generous as I never once asked for a discount), the owner sent me an curt email saying she cancelled the order. No explanation or apology. I still love and appreciate their designs but the lack of customer service is appalling and really quite unprofessional.
