LA is one amazing place to live, so let your budding fashionistas wear some of their hometown pride on their sleeves, literally. It’s no surprise that this cool city has loads of hip threads for tots, but there even several stylish labels that cater to kids that are completely LA made—and inspired.  These are our favorites:

This Venice company is all about the eclectic beach vibe. It manages to capture all the coolness of skateboarding down the boardwalk in the breeze on a super comfy t-shirt. Printed with water-based ink on cotton and organic fabric that feels like a well-washed favorite from the first wear, these tops are almost too cool for school. The tees and onesies, that come in sizes from newborn to 12, are emblazoned with simple designs, like the Venice sign surrounded by sunglasses and a surf report from Venice Beach. In case you get a little bit jealous or just feel like twinning, orangeheat makes grown-up sizes too.

Where to Buy: orangeheat tees are available in several local boutiques like J & Grey in Culver City, Burro in Venice, Auntie Barbara’s Kids in Beverly Hills, Treehaus in Atwater Village, and Pebbles in Topanga and Calabasas. You can also order online via their website.
