Infant and toddler product developer and supplier Skip Hop has introduced its first collection of baby bedding and room accessories; the line will be available at specialty stores nationwide starting in February.

The two initial Skip Hop collections include 385 thread-count bedding sets, soft comforters, reversible blankets and crib skirts, cotton sheets, bumpers, wall organizers, decorative pillows and sleek lamps.

Featured patterns (retail price on the five-piece bedding set: $220) are:

• Mod Dot – A modern geometric print with coordinating dot and solid fitted sheets;

• Vine Floral – Raspberry, pink and mocha hues in a floral and vine print against an ivory background.

Skip Hop was founded in 2003 by husband-and-wife team Ellen and Michael Diamant. A percentage of the profits of every Skip Hop purchase goes toward supporting the Pediatric Aids Foundation and The Ovarian Cancer Research Fund, the company said.
