Thoughtful babywear. Meaningful stories. A commitment to people, craftsmanship, and the planet.
Welcome to the Pokka Kids Press & Media page, where we share interviews, editorial features, and stories highlighting our journey and philosophy.
Founded in New York in 2016, Pokka Kids was built on a simple belief: what touches a baby's skin should be made with exceptional care. Inspired by a personal journey into parenthood, we set out to create thoughtfully designed baby clothing using certified organic cotton, delicate craftsmanship, and responsible local production.
Today, Pokka Kids continues to honor its New York roots through a commitment to American-made babywear, traditional craftsmanship, and thoughtful design for babies with sensitive skin.

Hidden Gems: Meet Soo Jo of Pokka Kids
In this founder interview with New Jersey Voyager Magazine, Soo Jo shares the personal story and inspiration behind Pokka Kids, an independent luxury babywear brand founded in 2016 in New York.
With over a decade of experience in children's footwear design, product development, and manufacturing, Soo brought her professional background and personal experience as a mother together to create something meaningful.
Her journey into motherhood, particularly her son's struggle with severe eczema and sensitive skin, inspired her to rethink what baby clothing could and should be. Unable to find the kind of gentle, thoughtfully made essentials she was looking for, she set out to create babywear using certified organic cotton, delicate craftsmanship, and carefully considered details.
The conversation explores the challenges of building an independent brand, the importance of authentic organic materials, the value of local American artisans, and the philosophy of putting people, planet, and purpose at the heart of business.
Today, Pokka Kids continues its commitment to thoughtfully designed babywear and small-scale American craftsmanship, bringing together quality, comfort, and a belief that what touches a baby's skin matters.
A personal story about motherhood, entrepreneurship, and creating a brand with purpose.
