Investing in Good Basics

When it comes to stocking your kiddies' wardrobes with reliable, go-to pieces, BlackBear knows just how to help! Good basics are the foundation of great outfits, and more importantly, dressing with comfort and ease. They hold up through all adventures and stand the test of time!

We carefully curate clothing that is high-quality and offers longevity through the ages; from your children's own day-to-day, to the passage between generations of other family members, friends and neighbors. Isn't it the best feeling when you can pass on cherished clothing to those you love?

Enter Oso & Me: one of our favorite brands for functional kids clothes that are designed with impeccable details and made to last. Their Fall collection embodies so much of what we believe makes a good basic; dare we say, they do it "Oso" right ;) Easy-to-wash, super soft materials (that are custom created); simple silhouettes; versatile colors that mix & match with anything... the list goes on! Take a peek below to see some of our best Oso & Me pieces this season!

Mindfully made without chemical-softening enhancers, it's lightweight, slightly stretchy, super comfy, washes well, and durable for year-round comfort. All boxes = checked!
