Copper Pearl makes bibs, burp cloths, towels, blankets, and more for babies.
All of its products are well made with soft fabrics in fun prints.
I've been using the brand's linens with my newborn son because they are both effective and cute.

Every new parent does their research for the right crib, car seats, and strollers, but they often neglect the support items like burp cloths, bibs, and swaddles. Those "soft items," however, can be just as integral to dealing with day-to-day baby care as the bigger ticket items.

A few months ago we adopted Loic, a newborn baby boy, and though we had already been through the newborn experience with my 1st-grade daughter, I had forgotten about those early months and how much support stuff they need. Thankfully, that's where Copper Pearl comes in.

In 2015, two best friends and parents — one redhead (Copper) and one blonde (Pearl) — started the company Copper Pearl to elevate the baby bib into something a little more modern using custom prints and a redesigned fit. Building on the success of its bibs, the company now sells crib sheets, swaddle blankets, burp cloths, knit hooded towels, and more.

We tested Copper Pearls' bibs, burp cloths, towels, and blankets with our baby to see how they stood up to daily use.

Care and quality

According to the website, the bibs, burp cloths, and towels are to be machine washed cold and tumbled dry on low. In testing, we washed them in warm water multiple times with my 7-year-old's laundry and the colors still look clean with no fading or bleeding. They look great coming out of the dryer as well with no issues of shrinking or wrinkling the cotton print.

The cons

Of course, the downside to any product that's popular is just that some prints and styles are sold out. Thankfully, the company sells its products in a variety of locations and at several online retailers, so you might have luck getting the print you want somewhere else.

The bottom line

As you might already know, the baby linen market is very crowded with solid options from brands like Green Sprouts, Burt's Bees, Carter's, and Gerber, so if you are in the market, you have plenty of brands to choose from. But in my case, having never heard of Copper Pearl before, I wished we knew of the brand earlier because I love its products.

Everything works well, holds up to repeated washing and the prints are the perfect balance of cute and modern. The price point makes Copper Pearl's products perfect for gifting or picking up a few items for your own little one.
