Zutano Introduces Brand New Velour Line

(Cabot, VT; January 15, 2004) Zutano children's clothing, known for its colorful and creative designs, is proud to ring in 2004 with a brand new line of velour clothing! Whimsically titled Velure, for its irresistibly soft and luxurious appeal, this elegant addition to Zutano's fantastic family of children's wear will slip effortlessly into any child's wardrobe - mixing & matching with any classic Zutano print or stripe!

A distinct and complete collection, the Velure line features 8 comfortable body styles, each offered in 10 fashionably bright solid colors. Sizes run 0-3m, 6-12m, 12-18m, and 18-24m. Body styles include traditional Zutano favorites, like the long-sleeve shirt, long-sleeve dress, legging and hat, as well as 4 entirely new styles that put a spin of sophistication on classic lines: a soft & roomy coverall, an elegant mandarin collar jacket, a fanciful scarf with a sweet mouse head and tail, and an adorable mouse-tipped hat that ties under baby's chin. Both new hat and scarf styles are accented with matching candy-stripe interlock (for mouse tail and hat lining) and complementary velour solids (for mouse ear lining and bobble nose). What mother could resist a child bundled in such colorful style!

What makes Zutano's new Velure so fantastic? We combine 80% of the softest, coziest cotton with just a 20% touch of poly-fiber, for gentle stretch and ease of wear. Chinchilla-soft texture, in such bright and brilliant colors as Lime, Orange, Yellow, Pink, Fuchsia, Chambray, Periwinkle, Aqua, Black and White, sets Zutano Velure worlds apart from a crowd of petal pinks and baby blues. Every Velure color was carefully chosen to perfectly match or complement Zutano's extensive Baby Basics cotton interlock palette. This attention to detail allows the Velure line to be seamlessly worked back and forth with your tried and true favorite Zutano Baby fashions.

To help spread the word about this phenomenal new collection, Zutano has created a brand new plush character to represent Velure. A lovable mouse, sewn in the same super-soft velour as the clothing she represents, Minzi is the perfect accessory to any Velure ensemble. Wearing a cotton interlock bodysuit, in candy-stripes matching her color, Minzi shares the same measurements, and can mix and match the same miniature fashions, as her much-loved cousin Hip Hoppy! Minzi is available in 6 juicy Velure colors and will be ready to ship with the rest of the line this summer.

Zutano Velure will be introduced this January for the trade, product will ship to buyers in July of 2004. Zutano is a whimsical and stable anchor to the children's specialty clothing industry. For more information visit www.zutano.com/velure.
