::terry, terry, quite contrary::

The first time I saw Koeka products, I fell in love. Not only because it is well-designed, but because everything they make come in ORANGE! It only makes sense...because again, Koeka is a Dutch company; their national color is orange supposedly because the royal family used to own the principality of Orange. There are or course other fun, bright colors available as well. Each item is designed with a whimsical shape, which I think is a step above the usual rectangle and square.

The Koeka line has four major divisions: bathing, caring, clothing and sleeping. As part of our registry, we received burp cloths, wash mitts, hooded towels and bibs from our friends and family. Everything is made from super soft cotton terry. The burp cloths were great when O was an infant, and the wash mitts and hooded towels are perfect now for her baths.

Since summer is just around the corner, I need to change out the fleece Bugaboo tailored fabric with a cooler version. Bugaboo introduced a canvas line just for the Cameleon. You can buy it on eGiggle.com. While I think it is a great fabric for the hot weather, I am not crazy about the colors. They are very classic canvas colors, and as you can guess, there is no orange. Koeka makes a terry cloth cover that can be stretched over various strollers. It can be purchased on Bambaa.com. However, it covers the entire stroller and is not tailored, which I'm not so crazy about. So, we might have to enlist the help of O's Puo (maternal grandmother in Mandarin) and come up with an architect-designed (!) orange seat cover.
