About Tykecoon Tykecoon Apparel is a new infant and toddler clothing line from Los
Angeles designer, Michelle Burry Harwood. Through sales of our clothing
and charitable work, our mission is to help raise financial support and
awareness for organizations which benefit children both at home and
abroad.
All of products come with a heart
shaped tag stating what "I GIVE A HOOT!" about. I being, YOU (or your
tykes) of course!
We
only use the highest quality of materials. Our shirts are preshrunk
super soft 100% cotton, 30 single combed ring-spun. Garment washed for
superior softness and minimal shrinkage.
Clothing And Caring
It
is estimated that one out of every four children live below the poverty
line in the United States. Thousands of others suffer from disabilities
and serious illness.
Tykecoon Apparel was
started in an effort to help those agencies that are dedicated to
assisting disadvantaged and disabled children in meeting the financial
needs of their programs.To do this, Tykecoon donates a percentage of
all sales to children's charities which have been pre-screened for
their effectiveness in making sure the majority of donations are used
for their programs and not their administrators.
A Note From Our Founder
"I have always wanted to do something that gives back. And now as a
mother it seems even more important to take action. To me Tykecoon is a
very powerful, yet playful word which represents the strength that
exists in every child and the strength they create within us. They give
us new vision as we help shape their world. It's the feeling you get
when you see all the possibilities in front of you and nothing is
impossible. You have the strength of a "TYKECOON"!
Not
to be all serious...Tykecoon is also playful. As 'tycoon' means
powerful businessman, 'tykecoon' reminds me of the moment when your
child knows s/he just worked you over to get what s/he wanted; just one
more book or one more cookie or just one more hug! The power of
persuasion that only a look of a 2 yr. old can master. That, is a true
Tykecoon!"
