Finding stylish, all-occasion clothing for your kids is one of those things that’s way more complicated than it needs to be. It seems every store has an incredibly limited selection with only a few sizes; of course, none of them are your child’s. But kids’ fashion should be fun! They should get to have all the patterns, fits, and colors! This is why I positively adore the shop Sammy + Nat. This charming store is full of wardrobe staples, special occasion outfits, and toys and gifts for any child.

Sammy + Nat is a store started by Samantha Benson and her sister, Natalie. The two were young girls when their mother, Nancy, passed away. Nancy was a beloved midwife within the community and had told her daughters about the deliveries she had assisted with when she came home from work.
When Samantha decided to leave her job at a major fashion house in New York City, opening a baby and child clothing store seemed only natural. When choosing the selection, she thought of her own mom’s impeccable sense of fashion and decided to add an entire section specifically for mothers. Their store now stands as a meaningful tribute to one of the most stylish moms of all time.


Sammy + Nat is one of the best shops around for buying baby clothes. The store has established a collection made of Pima Cotton. This natural, hypo-allergenic material gets softer with every wash and adjusts to your baby’s temperature to keep them dry. You’ll find staples such as rompers, dresses, and outfit sets. They also have take-home sets, swaddling blankets, and rompers.
Their kids’ selection has everything you need for children ages 2-14. Their play collections offer kids durable yet comfortable clothing that will hold up to all their adventures. And you’ll never have to worry about their selections going out of style. Samantha’s sharp eye keeps the racks full of on-trend clothing even the pickiest preteens will adore.
Not only do they have exceptional options for everyday outfits, but the shop’s special occasion clothing is unparalleled! Choose from sparkly skirts, plaid button-ups, classic Christmas dresses, and corduroy jumpers.
While Sammy + Nat has created a reputation as a premier clothing store, they have a fabulous toy selection. You’ll find organic plushes, unicorn pocket puzzles, thrilling games, and animal building blocks. If your little one loves dolls, this is the shop for them. Not only can you find darling Miniland baby dolls, but you can also get tons of accessories, including swaddles, care kits, and dollhouses.
At Sammy + Nat, you can find marvelous fashions for all ages. Check out the store today for a wardrobe shakeup!
