I've got my spine, I've got my Orange Zest...

So a lot of you have been asking when the VERY limited Orange Zest diapers will be available to order, and I'm SO happy to be able to officially let you know that we should have them in hand by next

Thursday, barring any unforeseen incidents, and retailers should have them within a few weeks of that date.

Finally!

We're reserving only a very small percentage of the stock for our own store in order to make it available for our retailers, so we'll have our retailers post on our fan page when we've confirmed with them that their stock is shipping.

Orange Zest was actually a really popular colour when we first introduced our line back in 2008, but it's one of those colours that you either love or hate, and from a business perspective it makes more sense to have a permanent collection of colours that illicit more of a neutral response. But the "love it" aspect of this colour is why we love to offer limited editions when we can.

A few facts about the colour orange from Sensational Color (do you know how much it hurts me to have to spell colour that way?):

Orange around the globe

• American Indians associate the color orange with kinship.

• Orange is the Netherlands' national color, dating back to the Dutch War of Independence and the rebel Prince of Orange.

• In Ireland, the use of orange dates from the reign of William of Orange, the Protestant English king and a Dutch stadholder.

• In China and Japan, orange is used to symbolize happiness and love.

• Orange County, California

• Orange, CA

• Orange, NJ
