Laughing Bear Batik clothes are hand painted and easy-wear, 100%
natural cotton baby clothes, toddler clothes,
and newborns clothes that are extremely versatile, fun, and make great
baby gifts!
The natural fibers allow babies to stay nice and warm in colder weather
with long sleeve tees and leggings, or cool in warm weather with bubble
rompers, etc. while also keeping up their style with fun colors and
creative designs.
Because all laughing bear batik baby & toddler clothes are hand
painted and hand dyed, natural variations will occur in design and
color.

About Debra Lavaggi (owner), and how Laughing Bear Batik began.
In the early 1970s Debra and Annie (friend) began by experimenting
with dyes, wax, tools, and techniques, in a sunny backyard on the side of
a mountain deep in the catskill mountains of new york.
Through the wonderful organic way that a business can grow, they were
able to start with a simple inspiration. Both being artists, they
experimented with their designs by painting them onto shirts in melted
wax, and then dyed by hand.
" We were rendered breathless by the magic of seeing the animals and
flowers we had drawn emerge on the brilliantly colored garments."
It was in this way that they began their cottage industry, and
Laughing Bear Batik was born.
Debra has said "I love this life style because I can learn and create,
and still be surround family and friends."
