Skip Hop debuts new line of baby bedding & accessories
April 8th, 2008
Skip Hop, a company long known for innovative parenting products that “appeal not only to your heart but to your modern sense of design,” recently introduced a new line of baby bedding and coordinating accessories in true Skip Hop style (i.e. modern, chic and functional).
Skip Hop’s first two patterns, Mod Dot and Vine Floral, are sophisticated and parent-friendly yet look right at home in a nursery setting. Would something so “modern” appeal to a mom like me who’s ideal bedding is her very floral set from Land of Nod? I wasn’t sure until I saw–and felt–the Mod Dot bedding firsthand. The first thing I noticed was that clear vinyl bag in which bedding sets are always packaged. Skip Hop managed to spice up even this typically boring bag with cute zipper pulls in the shape of Skip Hop’s trademark asterisk. Though just a small detail it speaks volumes about Skip Hop’s attention to detail.
After handling the bedding, which was silky soft by the way, I was tempted to change my daughter’s current crib bedding for the Mod Dot and probably would have if I didn’t have to undo all those dang ties! The set is made from 100% cotton in 385 thread count (I don’t even think I have that high a thread count on my own sheets!) and includes a super soft comforter, crib skirt, two cotton sheets (how many sets offer you two sheets?), and reversible bumper. The collection also includes a reversible blanket, wall organizer (probably my favorite accessory), decorative pillows and a really cool lamp.
If you’re familiar with Skip Hop diaper bags and other products like their Splash bottle drying rack and Toolbox diaper caddy then you’ll know to expect only the best from their new bedding collection–and you won’t be disappointed. Even this not-so-modern mom things they’re pretty dang cool! And what’s really cool is every time you buy a Skip Hop product, a portion of your purchase goes towards supporting the Pediatric Aids Foundation and The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund.
