I bullied my new brother in law, who lives in Oshawa, to swing by the baby show for support. Only married to my youngest sister 3 weeks prior in Manila, he was more than willing to be our ‘representative’. Thanks Aldrich! :)
Faces to the names. We’ve gone international, if you still haven’t heard. We announced it here. So you know that we are already really in Canada, here is Stan and Abby Ong posing in their booth at the baby show in Toronto when they launched in October 2009.

Frequently Asked Questions
WHERE CAN I SEE YOUR PRODUCTS?

WHAT SETS YOUR PRODUCTS APART FROM OTHER CHILDREN’S CLOTHES?
We take great care in creating one of a kind designs that are very art-driven. You will not be able to see these designs or purchase them anywhere except on this site or from official distributors. All prints are on limited edition runs.
Our products are made of 60% polyester and 40% cotton. The “all over” look of each onesie is achieved by using sublimation printing technology. The nature of this printing technique creates a unique piece of art every time—no two onesies are exactly alike.
Each onesie starts out as a blank canvas and due to the nature of creating the “all-over” look, there will be unique irregularities in the print. This is not a flaw.
Not only is each product unique but this process also produces a super-soft piece of wearable art. No thick ink against your baby’s skin! The only drawback from wearing googoo&gaga is all the attention that your babies will surely get. =)
WILL YOU BE MAKING CLOTHES FOR TODDLERS & KIDS?
Yes! We will produce toddler tees up to 6 years old by March 2009. We will eventually produce tees for bigger kids, teens, and adults once interest is there.

DO YOU HAVE A SIZE CHART FOR YOUR CLOTHING ITEMS?
For onesies released beginning March 2009. 
You may use the general size chart above to help determine sizing. Please bear in mind that due to variations in sizes between children, we cannot guarantee fit. To be sure that you are purchasing the correct size, please measure and compute for your child’s statistics against the size chart. Please note that the CHEST SIZE goes around the baby’s body. If you are unsure, we recommend ordering the next size up as children grow very fast!
HOW DO WE DETERMINE AVAILABILITY OF YOUR PRODUCTS?

However, since our inventory fluctuates throughout any given day, an item indicated as ‘available’ may in fact be out of stock.
