Brandee Danielle, one of the most inventive crib bedding designers, is available through national chains, including JC Penny and Baby Depot, baby specialty stores, and online retailers. The Little One bedding collection is a great choice for those interested in high quality gender neutral bedding. Little One is a good value at $170 and $210 for a four-piece crib set.

The Little One bedding collection is available as a four-piece crib set, including a quilt, 4-sided bumper, crib skirt, and fitted sheet, all of which are machine washable. Matching accessories are available, such as musical mobile, hamper, and pillows. One notable exception is wall border, a common accessory available among bedding collections.

I think part of the appeal of Little One is its polished look. Most crib bedding collections fit into a theme, such as Frogs or Farms. Little One has no obvious theme, which isn't necessarily a bad thing. The collection does feature embroidered giraffes; however they are not the main focus of the bedding. The overall "look" of Little One is unassuming and refined. The primarily green color is perfect for a gender neutral set or for those parents who want to be surprised by their new little one.

Often seen as the showpiece for a crib bedding collection, Little One's quilt is modest and well-designed. A distinction of Brandee Danielle bedding is the high quality fabrics that are used in all of their bedding collections. The quilt is comprised of four main fabrics: green apple velvet velour, woven green seersucker gingham, yellow meringue linen, and ultra white cotton with embroidered giraffes. The quilt is made from a genuine patchwork design which is a sign of high quality. Each patch of the quilt is sewn together in order to create the design. The bedding collection as a whole is made with superior craftsmanship. The green gingham, which is the predominant fabric in Little One, is made by weaving the individual threads together in order to create the pattern. The white cotton featuring the embroidery is brushed to make the fabric feel extra soft.

The back of the quilt and fitted sheet both include white brushed cotton. The bumper is 10" tall with both top and bottom ties. Another highlight of the Little One collection is the bumper comes in four separate pieces; however, there are not zippered covers to make washing easier. The crib skirt features a 15" drop and is comprised of the yellow linen and green gingham fabrics.

Because Little One merchandise is assembled in the United States, it can be particularly appealing for Canadian customers purchasing from a US retailer. It can be shipped to Canada duty-free, thereby avoiding charges of 17% or more of the purchase price that apply to bedding manufactured in China or India.
