Friends of Vommat: Short Stuff

Friends of Vommat: Short Stuff – Baby Clothing That’s Built to Last

In the next installment of Friends of Vommat, I'm introducing you to Short Stuff, a baby clothing brand founded by another Massachusetts mom, Roxanne—a mom on a mission to create high-quality, sustainable, and educational babywear. Over your years as a mom you'll learn there are some clothes that are lucky to make it 6 mos (I'm looking at you, Old Navy!) and others that can seemingly last forever (hi Hanna).  If you're looking for baby clothes that are soft, functional, and designed to last through multiple children, Short Stuff is a must-know brand and we all love supporting mom-owned businesses - let's go! 

A Brand Born from Parenthood

Like many great ideas, Short Stuff was inspired by real-life parenting struggles. As a first-time mom and being the product of a big family, Roxanne understood the value of hand-me-downs and the need for clothing that could withstand the adventures of childhood. Frustrated by flimsy baby clothes that wore out too fast, she set out to create a solution that was durable, stylish, and gender-neutral - designs that make sense for modern families. 

What Makes Short Stuff Special?

Short Stuff isn’t just another baby clothing brand—it has some special qualities:

• Sustainable & Soft: Crafted from snuggle-soft bamboo fabric, Short Stuff pieces are gentle on your baby’s skin while being eco-friendly. We love that!
• Built to Last: Designed for sibling-friendly durability, these clothes can be passed down, reducing waste and saving parents money. Don't you love seeing old pics of your kids all wearing the same outfits?
• Educational Fun: Each collection features themed learning elements, like the Elemental Explorers series, which introduces kids to earth’s elements through playful prints and matching storybooks.
• Parent-Friendly Features: Thoughtful details like convertible zippers, fold-over mittens, and expandable cuffs make dressing (and undressing) a breeze.
• Gender-Neutral Designs: No more sorting clothes by gender—Short Stuff makes it easy to share, mix, match, store, and pass down. 
  

The Elemental Explorers Collection: Learning Meets Style

Short Stuff’s debut collection is both adorable and educational. Each print represents an element in nature, turning babywear into a fun learning experience:

• Marine Minds (Water): A serene blue celebrating ocean wonders.
• Forest Fellows (Earth): A deep green inspired by lush landscapes
• Spark Scientists (Fire): A warm orange capturing the spirit of discovery.

Every outfit in the collection is paired with a custom storybook, helping little ones explore science and nature from an early age. 

Why We Love Short Stuff

I believe in products that simplify parenting while being mindful of sustainability. Short Stuff checks all the boxes—offering functional, high-quality babywear that’s both stylish and smart. If you’re looking for a brand that values community, sustainability, and the joy of childhood, Short Stuff is a perfect fit.
