Brightly coloured clothes

ailbheI have searched H&M, Mothercare, Mamas & Papas, Pumpkin Patch, Toys/Babies'R'Us, Marks and Spencer, Primark, Next, Kiddicare, and even Not Just Pink And Blue. The latter are out of stock of almost everything in the 0-3 months size, and all the others can offer me is these three from Next. All I want is vests (onesies to Americans) and babygros (sleepsuits) in bright, vivid colours - especially vests, since that's what this August baby is most likely to be wearing. I don't want patterns or logos and - gods forbid - cartoon characters. Just plain, vivid colours. Not biscuit or lemon or pink or baby blue. Not even that watery green.
I refuse to try home dying again after the disastrous experiences I've had with it before. I seem jinxed for home dying. It's a surefire way to end up washing my face in water that something has bled colour into via my facecloth, and wearing underwear with weird trim and elastic.
So - do I order 'em all from the Happy Baby Slings lady, who is kind and understanding and really, really not cheap? Or has anyone a suggestion I haven't tried yet?
http://www.dribblefactory.com/ - nothing remotely suitable
http://www.sunshinetots.co.uk/ - Apparently have long-sleeved vests; "This 100% cotton long sleeved vest is generously cut, poppers under the crotch and has a Bright Bots character embroidered on the front. Colour: pink, red, blue, purple"
http://www.basics4baby.co.uk/ - have no unisex section at all.
Nordic Kids have a possible, though it's striped.
Jako-O have yellow, red and blue vests, though their pictures make the red look pretty pink. They also have a fairly bright orange sleepsuit.

Date: 2006-07-12 03:45 pm (UTC)Whoa! Sam & Seb now has an online store. http://www.samandseb.com/ Does "no logos" also mean "no decoration"? Or just "no logos"?
Pearl River also seems to be online, but I don't see any onesies in their online catalog. Cute stuff, though: http://www.pearlriver.com/
I can't find my NYC shopping guide, darn it! If I come across it, I'll have more. Not that they'll be cheap, probably. Alas.
