Four hundred years ago, Henry Hudson set out on the high seas and landed at what is now New York City.
Quite the discovery.
Inspired by that spirit of exploration, NY-based Toobydoo has launched a modern line of kids’ clothing that celebrates four centuries of adventure. From Fort Amsterdam tees to heraldic crests to prints of early traders and Native Americans, Toobydoo throws in a little history lesson with every shirt.
Stock up on soft cotton/cashmere zip-neck sweaters in multi-color stripes and dresses made for play. Babies will love roomy, boot-cut Chelsea (as in Piers) jumpsuits with matching lightweight summer blankets perfect for a stroller expedition up the block.
After all, you never know whom you’re going to sea.
