Kids-wear

At JOVI, we think first of the child when making kid's clothes. Not only the occasion. Not only the picture! We consider the little girl that will wear the outfit for hours. She can run around a wedding party. She can sit down on the floor with cousins. She can dance until she's tired. She might end up sleeping on her mother's lap before the evening is over. Her clothes must fit all that.

This is the way how JOVI India works. We are a small batch, slow fashion brand based in Jaipur, that produces kids wear and womenswear. Ethnic wear for our children is handmade by skilled artisans of Jaipur city. Over half of the artisans we work with are women. The fabrics we select are carefully chosen. All garments are treated with care. We consider the texture of embroidery on the skin. We consider the fit of the waistband. Consider how a child can get around in clothing.

Because for us, kidswear is deeply personal.

What is JOVI India?

JOVI India is a Jaipur-based slow-fashion brand that creates handmade Indian kids wear, and womenswear.

Our kids clothing collections include Kids Lehenga Sets, Kids Anarkali Sets, Co-ord Sets, and cotton festive dresses. Each collection is always made in small batches.

Small Batch means treating each kid's outfit with more care and attention. A person checks the stitching. A person checks the finishing. A person looks at the final piece before it is packed. This human attention matters to us to make sure you always get the best piece for your baby girl.

What makes JOVI kids wear different?

We do not approach kidswear as adult clothing made in smaller sizes.

Children move differently. They sit differently. They play differently. Their skin can also be more sensitive to rough seams, stiff fabrics, and heavy layers. That changes the way we make clothes.

We think about fabric first. Then we think about the silhouette. We consider where embroidery should sit. We look at the seams and finishing. We ask a simple question throughout the process:

Would we want our own child to wear this for an entire day? If the answer is no, it does not feel right for JOVI. 

What fabric is best for kids ethnic wear?

Fabric is one of the first things we consider when making our kids wear.

Children can feel heat and irritation quickly. A heavy synthetic fabric can become uncomfortable during a long celebration. Rough finishing can also bother the skin.

That is why we love breathable natural fabrics for children's clothing.

Our Jiyara collection is made using breathable mulmul cotton. Mulmul is light and airy. It has a soft hand-feel. It sits gently against the skin. It is also well suited to India's warm weather.

When a child wears an outfit for several hours, the thing which matters the most is fabric. The fabric should allow the body to breathe. It should not feel heavy after an hour of running and playing. Explore our Indian Ethnic Dresses for Kids to find the pieces made with this approach. 

Where can I buy kids ethnic wear online?

Kids wear for girls is available in various cuts and materials. Festive dresses, lehengas, anarkalis and co-ord sets are all part of our collections. Each piece is made in limited quantities. 

What should kids wear to an Indian wedding?

An Indian wedding can be a long day for a child. There may be several ceremonies. There may be photographs. There may be dancing. There may be a lot of time spent sitting and standing.

A Kids Lehenga Set can be a lovely choice for these occasions. The flare allows room for movement. The outfit also gives children that special feeling of getting dressed for a celebration. If you are looking for Indian party wear dresses for kids, please do not forget to explore our Kids Lehenga Choli Set Collection.

Are there kids ethnic wear options beyond lehengas?

Yes.

Not every occasion calls for a lehenga. A family lunch may need something simpler. A puja may call for an easy Anarkali. A birthday can be a good occasion for a co-ord set.

Our Kids Anarkali Sets and Co-ord Sets are made for these moments.

They are easy to move in. They work for smaller celebrations. They can also be worn again for another family occasion. We believe children's clothes should have a life beyond one photograph and one birthday party.

What should I look for when buying ethnic wear for a girl kid?

When buying ethnic wear for a kid girl, look at more than the colour and embroidery.

Check the fabric first. Look for breathable materials. Check the inside seams. Look at where embroidery sits.

Then think about movement. Can your child sit on the floor? Can she raise her arms? Can she walk easily? Can she dance? Can she spend several hours in the outfit without constantly pulling at it?

These questions are especially important when buying kids party wear.

Why does JOVI make kidswear in small batches?

We make our kids wear in small batches because we want to stay close to the making process. Small batches also allow us to notice details. A stitch can be checked. A seam can be corrected. A finishing detail can be looked at again. And if this takes more time we are okay with that. We would rather make fewer pieces with care than produce large quantities simply to keep up with demand.

Where to find kids party wear online?

Our Kids Party Wear collection offers outfits for kids perfect for birthdays, weddings, festive celebrations and family gatherings. You’ll find kids wear made with Indian fabrics, handmade details and playful designs that are made just for children. Some pieces are made for big celebrations. Others are made for smaller family moments.

The common thread is the thought that goes into making them.

Why choose JOVI for kids ethnic wear online?

It is difficult to select kids ethnic wear online. You can see the colour in a photo. It can display the embroidery. But it will not be able to tell you how the fabric will feel on your child's skin.

Hence for fabrics we are as specific as possible. We want all parents to be aware of what they are purchasing.

And if you're still not sure about size, fabric or any specific detail or dress, feel free to contact us before ordering.

We would rather help you choose the right piece than simply make a sale.

Made in Jaipur. Made with thought.

JOVI started with a very simple concept.

Kids need well-constructed clothes.

Care in the fabric. Care in the stitching. Care in the details. The care that makes it.

Whether it is a mulmul cotton dress or a little lehenga, for a cousins wedding we want clothes to be part of a real childhood moment. Clothes feel like memories. Should be woven into those moments.

The running around. The dancing. The family photographs. The sweets.

That little sleepy head on the parent's shoulder at the end of the day.

That's what clothes are made for!

Take a look through JOVI India when you are looking for something special for your little one. We hope you find a piece that feels as good to wear as it is lovely to remember.
