Our Story
Our company Teres Kids is a breakthrough children's clothing line focused on optimal comfort. Teres Kids clothes are great for all children. They are also a much needed solution for millions of children suffering from tactile sensitivities. This includes children with autism, sensory processing disorder and eczema. More children are simply uncomfortable in their clothes. For many parents, dressing their children is the hardest part of their day. Teres Kids provides a unique solution for millions of families in America, Canada, Europe and Japan.
All Teres Kids clothes are made in America. To make our premium clothing we start with the softest organic cotton available. We then eliminate all things that make kids uncomfortable such as tags, scratchy seams and rough edges. We create a super soft internal body - the part of the clothing that touches a child's skin. We believe it's the most comfortable product on the market.
We are growing rapidly. We need your help!. Our order volume is growing so quickly, we are having trouble keeping up. When we manufacture each collection we pay months in advance for the materials and labor. We need additional funding to keep up with the increased demand.
The Impact
This project is about getting our organic, super comfortable clothes to as many kids as we can. The impact will be measured one family at a time. For example:
"Just wanted to
let you know we love the clothes and we will buy more as soon as they are
available. Thank you! Aloha" Princeville, Kauai, Hawaii
"I just purchased an indigo blue dress from my six year-old daughter who has Sensory Integration Disorder and tactile defensiveness. I'm so grateful to Teres Kids. This is the first dress she wears joyfully." Estes Park, Colorado
"I really love your line. It makes me happy!" Boston, Massachusetts
"Thanks again for all the magic Teres Kids creates to make this a saner, peaceful and beautiful world for all our kids!!!:)" Los Angeles, California
" Jacob raved about his new clothes. he said they were super soft inside and the most comfortable clothes ever!" New York, New York
What We Need & What You Get
We need $25,000 to meet the demands of our Winter 2011 collection, so we can get Teres Kids clothes to all the kids who want them. All these funds will go to production of clothing including: fabric, dyeing, cutting, sewing and printing. Our order volume is growing so quickly we are having trouble keeping up. Instead of getting a bank loan we thought it would be better to engage people who believe in what we are doing and want to help! All other funding comes from Marianne and I, as well as friends and family.
We've put together some sweet perks for you and the children in your lives (ages 2-8). Here are photos of a few of our perks.
