San Francisco – BabyGap has unveiled the “BabyGap home” collection, its first foray into home goods. Available on line and at a few test stores, BabyGap home is described as the apparel retailer’s “premium line” of bedding, strollers, car seats, toys and other items.
Four-piece bedding sets include a quilt, crib sheet, bed skirt and bumper for $249. Designs include Miss Ladybug’s Garden, Busy Builder, Country Cottage, Flower Shop and Baby Safari.
BabyGap home also offers 100% organic cotton mix and match fitted bed sheets for $19 in solids and patterns, solid color organic crib bed skirts for $49, and organic mix and match bumpers for $110.
A variety of baby blankets includes two-pack muslin swaddle wraps for $30, embroidered fleece blankets for $29, solid color micro Chamois blankets for $29, and a quilted soft satin blanket for $39.
If you really want a 100% organic cotton bedding set (or even just 100% cotton) - beware of these GAP products.
The labels on the comforter and bumper say "filled with 100% polyester," even though the website description states 100% cotton. (as of April 2009)
The sheets do appear to be 100% organic cotton- according to the label on the sheets.

I have been looking for the Baby Safari bedding and it is always sold out online. I contacted the GAP and they had no idea when it would be stocked next. I am kind of dissapointed since this is a new launch and they do not stock enough product to satisfy the needs of their customers.
