Popadum

A little more about them:

The idea for Popadum began when her family took a three month long trip to India. It was a magical time. As they spent time experiencing the country, they realized there was a simplicity and beauty to the native clothing that really appealed to them as moms. The clothes were made from natural cottons and were often hand dyed and embroidered. And, the styles opened up a range of options for boys whose clothing choices are often so conservative.

You will find these tops go beyond the usual logo t-shirts and button down shirts. Of course, your girls can easily wear them too. Popadum's hope is that you will be inspired to bring some global style to your children.
