In today's world, fast fashion is king. That means items that are mass produced, and the fabrics are sometimes low quality, and only meant to be sewed quickly and sold cheap. This means inferior quality, and garments that often fall apart. This is why buying USA Children's clothing that uses heritage textiles are worth the investment.

You do not have to settle for such inferior quality. Yes, the other, high quality options are pricier, but it is in investment. These clothes will not unravel or come apart. The great news is that they are still easy to care for, and often get softer with each machine wash. They also generally pay the sewers a living wage, with some being certified Fair Trade.

These fabrics come from all over the world, but some of the best come from India, where beautiful prints have been created by skilled artisans for centuries. Bringing these heritage fabrics to the United States, again, costs money - but they are gorgeous, durable, and will help your child stand out at school, on the playground, or on vacation.

A great example of this type of technique is called Ikat, which produces a look that is almost like tie dye or watercolors. It is vibrant, colorful, and takes quite awhile to do by hand. This is another reason for the added expense in these garments.

Yes, it is cheaper and easier to go to the nearest big block store and buy your child cute, cheap clothing that you know won't last. But you can do better for your child.

Find companies that use artisan techniques and heritage fabrics to ensure your child's clothes don't need to be tossed before they even have a chance to outgrow them. These small batch garments are usually unique, with no two looking exactly alike. Your child will look great and have the best, most ethical wardrobe on the playground.
