Charlie Rocket: All American Clothing for Boys

Charlie Rocket Clothes for Boys


Many of our customers are looking to buy more brands that are made in the U.S., and we're always happy to point them to Charlie Rocket, a clothing company based here in Los Angeles that makes well-designed, well-constructed, modern and hip clothes for your boys.

Charlie Rocket clothing has a prep/surfer vibe.  You'll find lots of screened t-shirts with fun graphics, plaid shorts, fleece pants, and well-cut denim. 

Charlie Rocket follows the surf/skate trends closely, and as a result we find that the cut of their tops (t-shirts, hoodies, twofers and polo shirts) is boxier and larger than a lot of our other designers.  If you like this oversize look, you can order your boy's normal size.  If you prefer a more streamlined look, order one size smaller than usual.

Charlie rocket pants, fleece pants, and shorts are very consistently cut and run true-to-size (not oversized, like their tops).  All of their garments are made of super soft cotton that is pre-washed and overdyed, meaning you won't get any shrinkage or fading in the wash.  You can count on Charlie Rocket boy's clothes to outfit your boy in durable, stylish outfits from Juvie in sizes 5-14.

Desigual for Girls at Juvie

Desigual for Girls at Juvie
We're so happy to bring you Desigual girls clothing!  Desigual bills itself as, "Atypical Spanish wear since 1984."  Since it's hard to imagine any of our kids as being "typical," we think that this description is just right.  Desigual clothing for kids has just the right mixture of whimsy, color, style, and practicality.  Desigual dresses, tees, blouses and hoodies have details such as embroidery, appliques, metallic prints, and pattern blocking that are rarely seen in children's wear, and that make the pieces really stand out in a girl's wardrobe.  These design elements are coupled with comfortable, high-quality construction, making Desigual the first thing your girl will want to put on day after day.

Desigual designs collections twice a year.  We get new items in February and August, and you can find our Desigual Girls Shop here.

Summer Camp Clothes for Boys

Is your boy headed to summer camp?  Is it time to replenish his camp clothes?  Shorts, tees, hoodies for evenings (if it's sleepaway camp for your son), and swim trunks are all probably on your list.

Dark colors are great for hiding dirt, but you also want quality gear that will take some punishment.  We think that Quiksilver, Wes and Willy, Appaman, Claesens, and Charlie Rocket all fit this bill.  Check out our summer camp collage for inspiration, and grab these styles now!



The Clothes Your Girl Wants to Wear at Summer Camp


Summer Camp Girl
Summer Camp Girl!

Are your kids counting down the weeks of school that are left like mine are?  We've put together some ideas for your summer camp girl, whether it's for day camp, a week away, or more.  You'll notice that everything is pretty much mix-and-match, with solid jeans and shorts to go with prints and stripes on top.  One sun dress is great for camp dances or just relaxing on the dock.  And don't forget the undergarments...Claesen's three-packs are made for stocking up.

Color Blocking for Kids

Color blocking is all the rage for the ladies this spring.  Just look at the collections from Prada or Jil Sanders to see what I mean.  High-contrast, bright solids head-to-toe with contrasting accessories, or blocked by piece, or even within a piece, are definitely what's what in 2011.

We put together some of our spring and summer 2011 pieces from LA Made and Ragdoll & Rockets to show how girls can get this same look (dialed down quite a bit, of course).  Super cute, casual, and easy!
