Tomo & Edie PLUS a GIVEAWAY!

THIS GIVEAWAY IS NOW CLOSED, THANK YOU!

Tomo&Eddie has adorable baby clothing, Organic Baby Kimono and Organic Kusakizome Baby Kimono. Their kimonos are for babies 0-6 months and come in three styles.
They also have some of the neatest hair accessories, they are hand-crafted from vintage Japanese silk kimono and are shaped as "ume" or Japanese plum blossoms. Plum blossoms are a favorite motif in Japan representing early springtime. Kimono is the traditional dress of Japan, still worn today on special occasions.
Company Founders:
Hisae Shiratori & Mari Beth Sartain
Their logo is Chikyujin Tomo&Edie -- chikyujin (pronounced chee-Q-jeen) is a Japanese word we like to translate as "world member." Literally translated, the character chikyu is "earth" and jin is the character for "man."

Our children, Tomo and Edie, remind them daily that we all are "world members" so we must do our part to promote peace, protect our environment, educate our children, and be nice. Check out their blog here.


Read what our Mommies thought of Tomo&Eddie:

Amanda loves the bobby pins, read more here
Shanda recommends to get a Kimono for a baby shower gift here.
Kristin featured them in her Holiday Gift Guide

I love the three-ume barrette and bobby pins. And my favorite kimono is the combination Kusakizome in tea. I wish it came in bigger sizes for Jasper! But a girlfriend just found out she's expecting, so I would send it to her if I won.

I'm trying to figure out how exactly the combination kimono works, but since I'm not sure, I'd probably choose the sunrise long kimono and a pair of mini clips.

Laura said...

Great shop! Their clip fabrics definitely bring me back to the kimonos I would see in Tokyo, and the fabric stores I used to visit. I would choose 2 of the mini-clips, and a kusakizome baby kimono in sunrise. Really cute, fun styles. laurachilton {at} hotmail {dot} com

I love the simple short organic baby kimono and the fun hair ties! The kimono brings new style and sweetness to the traditional side-snap newborn shirts. Perfect for avoiding the tender umbilical cord area and a cute way to show off brand new bellybuttons.
