Online Boutique of the Week: Olive Kids

If you’ve ever gone in search of non-character based bedding that’s fun for kids, you’ve probably encountered the same challenges that many Clever Parents have. The high quality stuff you find in chi-chi boutiques is often overpriced, and the other options, well, let’s just say a bedspread should not feel like sandpaper.

So Clever Parents was thrilled to discover Olive Kids, a small family run company that provides high quality children’s bedding. As parents, owners Russell and Anita Brandwein don’t believe quality kids bedding should be outrageously expensive. Olive Kids is unique in that they create, manufacture, license and sell their own designs online – so you know you’re getting something unique. Plus, the quality is outstanding and reasonably priced.

“The quality of Olive Kids bedding is second to none,” says Russell. “We use soft, unbleached high thread count cotton. Our comforters are lighter weight, yet warm in the winter and cool in the summer. We use outline quilting so that different icons, like trucks or mermaids, “pop” off the bed. We’re the only ones doing it and we think it looks great! Our sheets are soft and have details like sewn on ribbon hems. And no one makes shams more fun than ours, packed with plush and embroidered details!”

In order to keep prices down (Olive Kids bedding is often half the price of bedding options of a similar quality), they keep their overhead low and work on a small profit margin. “We don’t employ banks of nameless customer service personnel, but rather a small, energetic staff of enthusiastic people who enjoy talking with, and helping parents. We know there are other options out there, so we appreciate every order!”

So what are the favorite picks in the Olive Kids household? “Our youngest kids do have the luxury of choosing any of our designs. Our middle boy, Jackson is into space and loves our “Out of This World” design. Our youngest, Luke, is quite eclectic. He has “Wild Animal Sheets”, “Trains, Planes & Truck” comforter, “Under Construction” pillowcase and “Ride ‘em” pillow sham. Thankfully, they all look great together!”

“Where other websites offer same old, same old from a myriad of vendors, we get to focus on what we do best..make colorful, fun and affordable home furnishings for little kids!”
