Parents are increasingly choosing clothes for their children from the United States, although there are practically no American children's clothing stores in Russia. Most items have to be ordered online either on their own or through collaborative buying communities to minimize shipping and handling costs.
In this article, we will list the main popular suppliers of American children's clothing in Russia.
Why is American clothing popular in our country among parents of toddlers and teenagers
Probably, any parents would like to dress their children in clothes of the highest quality and the most famous world brands. But, unfortunately, this is impossible - the prices for such things are simply astronomical and unaffordable even for Russian families with an average income.
There is a good way out of the situation - American clothes for children. Of course, no one sews these things in the USA, in fact they are made in countries such as China, Vietnam, Cambodia, etc. Butnevertheless, quality control is excellent there, because companies produce these clothes specifically for American kids, and not at all for Russian children.
Pros of American children's clothing
- The prices for such things are moderate, even taking into account shipments from one continent to another.
- The quality of the clothes is excellent. Almost everything is sewn from natural fabrics, about which there are corresponding marks. If the label says “cotton”, then you can be sure that this is the material and not a fake.
- Threads do not stick out of the seams, all models are exactly the right size.
- The most pleasant thing is that the child can be dressed in the same style, the sets are selected from those offered directly on the site or according to your own taste.
- In addition to clothes, you can choose accessories and shoes for any season.
Children's clothes "Carters"
The absolute favorite of American children's clothing among parents of both newborn babies and children under 12 years old. The philosophy of the manufacturing company is such that each set of clothes becomes a small holiday for children. Prints, accessories and designs are inspired by all sorts of superheroes, princesses, animals and beautiful plants in must-have vibrant colors.
A huge plus of the Carters online store is that promotions and sales are constantly taking place there. They allow you to buy great children's American clothes at half the price of the original.
Carters clothes are of such good quality that even afterit will become small for your baby, it is quite possible to sell it on such resources as “Avito” or “Yula”.
Children's clothing from Oshkosh
This clothing brand is part of the Carters Group. Oshkosh also produces a line of children's clothing, shoes and accessories for girls and boys. The price range at this company is the same as at Carters.
The difference is in the design of the clothes. If in “Carters” all the clothes are bright, colorful and cheerful, then in “Oshkosh” they are more strict and stylish, somewhat reminiscent of adult models. Many of them are made from denim.
In Russia, both of these brands are usually ordered in groups of joint purchases, since it is extremely expensive to order independently.
Clothes for children from the company "Jimbore"
The clothes in this store are somewhat reminiscent of Carters. In "Jimbor" you can also make sets in the same style for both everyday wear and holidays.

Besides clothes, “Jimbore”offers accessories, toys and even music CDs. In particular, in the online store you can order all kinds of elastic bands and hair clips, hats, scarves, belts and shoes for all seasons.
