Zutano Newborn Clothing and Preemie Clothes

Welcome the newest addition to the nursery......

Zutano was founded by designer and art director Uli Belenky and professional photographer Michael Belenky. The idea came to them after having their first daughter in 1989 and they could not find much other than pink and blue in the children's clothing market. They wanted the clothes to be for baby, with simple clean lines that they could wear day-in, day-out, and still be fashionable. As a baby's first expression of style, Uli's designs help them shape their uniqueness, something they will continue to explore for the rest of their lives. Uli grew up in Germany and is influenced by the Bauhaus design pholosophy. She thinks of clothes as architecture. Uli is known for producing her own fabrics, where color is key. Zutano uses the highest quality interlock cotton fabrics and natural fiber blends. Zutano is now based in Cabot, Vemont and their unique clothing line is now well known to all of us who have babies in our lives as being the most comfortable, fun and colorful clothes to dress our babies in. Zutano has been growing into one of the industry's leaders in market innovation and customer relations. Uli has now designed a special newborn collection called Itzy Bitzy for babies under eight pound. The new line includes clothing in mix and match solid, prints and stripes as well as socks, bibs, blankets and brightly colored plush toys.

Zutano means "so and so" in Spanish, but there is nothing so-so about the attention Uli and Michael pay to the details of running their company. Zutano strives to support a nurturing world for babies to come into and generously donates from their proceeds to various good causes. Some examples include Educational enrichment programs for children, reproductive rights to women, end childhood hunger, better healthcare programs, regional scholarship fund, breast feeding educational programs, clothing drives and non profit support. Each year we receive a holiday card from Zutano informing us that they donated money to charities in our name. This holiday season (Dec. 2011) they donated to Fondasyan Kole Zepol "Fonkose", Haiti's largest micro-finance institution for the poor.
