Tea Collection Review & Giveaway!
Posted on | January 4, 2012 | 110 Comments
I’ve got three major criteria when it comes to clothing for my girls.
1. It must be comfortable materials.
2. It must be able to be thrown in the washer with huge loads of laundry.
3. It must stand the test of time. Now that I have two girls I try to make sure that items I buy for Madison are nice enough to last for Hannah.
I want my girls to look adorable but I also don’t want to have to worry about changing them any time they eat something messy, want to roll around in the grass or play hard. The styles & options from Tea Collection fit the bill.
Tea Collection is a children & women’s apparel company that travels to different destinations for the inspiration behind their collections.
From their website:
Travel opens anyone’s heart and mind to people and places that we don’t know. The clothing we create at Tea transforms the foreign world into a smaller, friendlier and more familiar place. We believe that we bring a little bit of that world home to you. – Emily Meyer, Co-Founder and Chief Creative Officer
Tea Collection’s current destination for their Fall Line is Modern Mexico. You can see how Tea Collection took their own hand at mixing contemporary kitsch with Mexican folk art in their Boys, Girls & Baby Lines.
Tea Collection can be purchased from their website but is also available in 400 stores including Bloomingdale’s, Nordstrom and Saks Fifth Avenue.
I love that they have coordinating prints along the baby and older children’s lines so that you can dress siblings in coordinating but not “exactly the same” oufits.
On Madison: The Lantana Wrap Dress
On Hannah: The Lantana Baby Dress
Tea Collection also carries a line of super comfortable & fashionable women’s apparel. They were nice enough to send me their Dona Dolman Cowl Neck in Dark Eggplant. It is already a staple in my clothing rotation… I even wore it for this family portrait on Christmas Eve.
Although Tea Collection’s children’s & baby’s lines seem to run true to size their Women’s collection tends to run a little on the large side. I normally wear a size Large but ordered the Cowl Neck in Medium which is the perfect fit.
Tea Collection’s new destination for their Spring Line is Bali & I can’t wait to see all of the new clothes.
So now for the fun stuff…. Tea Collection is offering one of you a $50 gift certificate to anything on their site! To enter, simply leave a comment here telling me what you’d like buy with your $50.
For extra entries you may do any or all of the following (Please leave a separate comment for each entry):
1. Follow @RaisingMadison on Twitter.
2. Like Tea Collection on Facebook.
3. Share the giveaway on Twitter. (please leave a link)
4. Share the giveaway on Facebook. (please leave a link)
Contest will be open until Wednesday, January 11th at 9:00 p.m. CST. I will draw a winner & announce it here on the blog on January 12th. The winner will have 24 hours to email me back or I will pick a new winner.
Thanks & Good Luck!
Disclosure: Tea Collection provided with the clothing free of charge. No compensation was received for this review & giveaway. The opinions are fabulous and all mine…. just like Tea Collection!

As much as I would love to buy some stuff for me, I think I’d have to spend it on something for the kiddo. Now that he’s in the next size of clothes and I no longer have someone supplying me with hand-me-downs, I’ll take any free clothes I can get
They had some really cute boy tees on sale that I saw and almost bought right away!

I love the Jardin Azul line. I can attest for the Tea Collection. I bought a set of clothes for Bronwyn over a year ago. They are still being worn. She’s finally outgrowing them, so I would love to win!

January 5th, 2012 @ 1:13 am
Oh I love their stuff so so so so much. I’m always thrilled when it shows up in our hand-me-down bags! And the stylish girl who gifts with her cool hand-me-downs plays hard and is 2 years older, so the clothes have been through the wringer, yet always look and feel amazing.
I adore their Bird of Paradise dress – so sweet! And pretty much ALL of the Pjs!
