Pre-baby, my husband and I enjoyed exotic vacations and adventures. Since becoming parents, we have decided to put a few things on hold for the time being such 15 hours flights! While travelling the far east back in the day however, I fell in love with rich, handwoven, painted fabrics and gorgeous block prints. I have always wanted to incorporate more of these worldly designs into my home but never imagined doing it in the nursery. I now have proof that this look transcends beautifully into baby. Introducing Rikshaw Design…

Rikshaw Design is a baby bedding company based out of San Francisco specializing in hand block printed Indian cotton textiles, designed especially for the “bohemian baby” (and parents!). The designer/owner, Catherine Fitzsimmons, is a former textile designer for Pottery Barn and Ralph Lauren who noticed that the baby bedding could use something new and different.

Rickshaw currently offers four bedding collections along with pillows, diaper pouches, burp cloth and bib sets.  

In our opinion, it’s incredibly refreshing to see crib bedding options beyond cute characters, polka dots and stripes. Catherine has done a brilliant job incorporating a casual, global look and feel into a baby’s world with an ancient art form.

For all of us who have toddlers and school-aged children, how quickly we forget the constant drool and spit up that plagued us during baby’s first year. Granted, we’ve moved on to bigger and messier things but the annoyance of the drool was a constant. Your child’s wardrobe options then became limited: i.e. Make them wear a lame bib all day long which covered their cool Lucky Brand tee or change them 4 times daily.

Beth Powell, creator of Bibzees took a stand against lame bibs (You know, the ones that say “Cute Chick”, “Daddy’s Girl” and “Choo-Choo”). She had the smarts to create a line of onesies with contemporary, hip, corresponding bibs and yes, they will match your 7-month old son’s camo cargo pants!

Project Nursery would like to congratulate Bibzees for launching their new site and new “Baby Ink” Tattoo designs for the season. All bibs and toddler tees use water-based inks which are good for the environment and safe for baby.
