Blirt
Blirt, based in New York, is the brainchild of actress Kathleen Tracy, physician Adam Keene, and artist Kat Saito.
Asking themselves: Why did all children's organic clothing have to have earthy themes and colors? Why did all "modern" kid's tees have to include skeletons or a rock n' roll theme. Why did all "smart" tee's for kids have to feature the saccharine or the banal; they started on a mission to introduce kids to the playfulness of the English language through clever, earth-friendly design.
The concept of Blirt is to visually represent figures of speech that embody strong and unique character traits of kids. Featuring Tokyo-born Mr. Saito silk-screened artworks and accompanied by a booklet that playfully provides definitions and derivations of the figures of speech on the shirts, kids (and adults!) love them.
All Blirt products are hand silk-screened in Brooklyn, New York and are made of 100% certified organic cotton, that is custom made and dyed for Blirt using non-toxic dyes. The silk screening is water-based (a more environmentally friendly process); and all garments are manufactured in India by a company that adheres to international standards of fair wages and work benefits and who employ absolutely no child labor.
Stocked in such prestigious stores as Barneys in New York, Chicago and LA!
