Flora & Henri Clothing and Swimwear

Lately, I've been delighting in the fact that two of my girlfriends have had (congrats, Justine and Andrea!) baby girls and have been spending some quality time looking for cute outfits of the girly variety - like this adorable halter "swimming costume" from Flora & Henri.

This company uses "the finest" European fabrics and keeps the production volume low to ensure a quality product. Even better, their website boasts that all of their products (yes, they make boy's clothes too) "are never too precious for climbing, digging, swimming and running." Not bad. While the clothes aren't cheap, it looks like Flora & Henri isn't completely about the bottom line. Last December, 50% of the profits from all sales (in-store and on-line) went to providing aid for the children of Rusinga Island, which is at the epicenter of the AIDS crisis in Kenya.
