Kids Get Designer Duds With Diversity Local Mom Creates Children’s Clothing Line

Phoenix, AZ (12/16/07) – In today’s fast paced world consumers are always looking for products that combine multiple functions into one easy to manage device. Lisa Hillery-Smith, a new mom, has taken that same concept and applied it to fashion and education.

Regionz Kidz is a full line of designer children’s tees that feature black and white caricature-like images of toddlers from varying ethnic backgrounds hand drawn by a local artist. This line is one of the few places parents can find up-scale children’s clothing that is produced using a scientifically advanced, eco-friendly printing process.

“I had been searching for a designer clothing line for my daughter that was unique and eco-friendly. When I didn’t find it I figured, why not make one of my own? I want this line to highlight some of the fun aspects about living in a country as diverse as the
US and teach children to celebrate the diversity,” Lisa, Founder and CEO of Regionz Kidz, said.

The boys and girls shirts are made from 100% preshrunk cotton and come in four colors. Moms can strut their multicultural fashion too as the line features a matching set of t-shirts in women’s sizes. With Regionz Kidz, the consumer can also be the designer. The Regionz Kidz artist will create personalized pieces for parents who send in photos of their children.

Regionz Kidz is not just a clothing line. The company’s website blog features articles, cultural event listings & family-friendly product reviews that bring awareness to the types of activities, toys, books, & movies that parents can use to teach their children about diversity & tolerance.

Lisa wants her customers to get more than just one-of-a-kind funky designs with Regionz Kidz; she hopes to expand their knowledge of tolerance and multicultural sensitivities. Her line of region based books and educational children’s products allow parents to teach their children about the different regions of the
USA and aid them in learning to read. The books feature multi-cultural children’s stories for two different age groups; 0-2 years & 2-3 years, and the website features 8 sets of downloadable Regionz Kidz flashcards – three in Spanish.

About Regionz KidzBeginning in 2007, Regionz Kidz has clothed and educated families across the U.S. with pride. The company is the result of one mom’s quest to find a unique infant and toddler clothing line for her daughter. After visiting a regional gift show and realizing there was a lack of infant and toddler clothing that was upscale, culturally-diverse and customized for kids, she decided to create her own designer infant and toddler t-shirt line. She wanted a regional children’s clothing line that would highlight some of the fun aspects about living in a country as diverse as the
US. She also wanted multi-cultural designs celebrating the diversity of the children and families all across the country. For more information about this line visit http://www.regionzkidz.com
