"I think most parents can agree that when it comes to children’s clothing, there’s a major difference between the outfits parents choose vs. what our kids choose. While it’s adorable when they pick mismatched outfits that represent their personality, there are certain places and events for which an adult’s styling is required. Luckily, there are children’s clothing brands like Tea Collection that work hard to infuse their products with personality and good taste. And this season, we’ve got the inside scoop on Tea’s latest collection, which is inspired by Oaxaca, Mexico and its vibrant culture. Plus, our editors’ top Tea picks will minimize your hunt for adorable spring outfits, because they’ve seriously got it all.
Sharing the tea about Tea Collection
But first, a little background info about the children’s brand that gives back 10 percent of their profits to ensure a better world for kids everywhere. Not only are all Tea Collection’s buzz-worthy drops inspired by cultures from around the globe, but they’ve also donated more than $1.5M to local grassroots organizations within those communities. Tea founder Leigh Rawdon has always been passionate about traveling and giving back.
“I love building a company and introducing families to the beauty of the world through our collections,” she said. “Twice a year, we explore a new region of the world and transform our discoveries into a collection of heirloom-quality, modern clothing for children designed to spark curiosity and connection. Each season we interpret a different destination, then respectfully translate this interpretation into an apparel collection, which creates an easily-digestible opportunity for kids and their families to ‘make the foreign familiar.'”

When Tea Collection visited Oaxaca for their spring collection, they expected to learn about the culture, bright colors, and amazing artisan crafts. But Leigh recalled discovering so much more during their trip: “We learned that it’s not just about the art, it’s about the connections we make with people. The people we met in Oaxaca have big hearts and are proud of their families, traditions, and heritage.” This enlightening experience is evident in the beautifully designed clothing and one-of-a-kind prints—perfect for all your events this spring season.
