The Palm Springs baby bodysuit, for the town that is the desert’s mid-century modern capital. Soft fine jersey with the Palm Springs vintage retro logo on the front in black, newborn to 24 months.

This is the new-baby gift from the hometown: light, soft, with a snap crotch that makes changes easy and a logo the parents will photograph. Order it as soon as the news arrives; it is the Palm Springs piece most often bought for someone else.

Light 4.5 oz (153 g/m²) fine jersey keeps this unisex infant bodysuit soft and breathable. Side seams and ribbed binding add durability, and the snap crotch is secure and quick for changes. Solid colors are 100% combed ringspun cotton, while heather shades include a cotton–polyester blend.

The Agua Caliente Cahuilla built their villages around the hot mineral springs of Se-Khi for thousands of years; McCallum began the resort colony in 1885, the health-resort years followed, and 653 voters incorporated the city in 1938. Hollywood had already found it in the 1920s and 30s.

The 1940s to 60s left the densest concentration of mid-century modern architecture in the country, butterfly roofs, breeze blocks and kidney pools under about 350 days of sun, and the 1963 Aerial Tramway climbs Mount San Jacinto, which leaps nearly two miles straight off the desert floor. The palm oases of the Indian Canyons lie just south. The mid-century desert is the mark on this piece.

Product FAQs

How does your sizing work?

Every item is made to order, so please check the size chart on this page before you buy. Women's fitted tees run small; size up for a looser fit. Caps are one size with an adjustable strap.

How are items made and when will they arrive?

We make each item to order using premium blanks, embroidery and soft-hand prints. Production takes 2-5 business days (weekends and holidays excluded), then 4-10 days in transit via USPS, UPS or FedEx to U.S. addresses; most orders arrive within 6-15 business days. You'll get a tracking link the moment it ships. Any current shipping offer is shown in the bar at the top of every page and applies automatically at checkout, no code needed.

How do I send a gift?

Enter the recipient's address as the shipping address and your own as the billing address at checkout. Nothing ships with a price; the package includes a plain packing slip. Tracking goes to your email, not theirs. For birthdays and holidays, order two weeks ahead to be safe.

What's the return policy?

Made-to-order items can't be returned or exchanged for size or color, so please use the size chart and photos before ordering. If anything arrives defective, misprinted or damaged, send a photo and your order number within 30 days and we'll replace it or refund you.

More From Palm Springs California

All Palm Springs California Items

Our Palm Springs logo carries the California grizzly and star over "California Republic, Est. 1850," the same emblem every Merlin Classics California place wears. The bear and star are California's shorthand — wildness, independence, the open West — printed black-and-white with the worn look of an old state-park sign or a vintage athletic print. What makes this one Palm Springs is the place behind it: the mid-century modern, the rotating tram, the desert oasis. On a tee or a cap it reads less like a souvenir and more like a piece of the California desert — Est. 1850, worn plain.

The hot mineral springs the Cahuilla called "Se-Khi," and the fan-palm oases of the canyons that still carry their name, made this stretch of desert livable for thousands of years; the Agua Caliente Band of Cahuilla Indians are its original inhabitants and stewards. In 1884 John Guthrie McCallum became the first permanent non-Native settler, building the adobe that is still the city's oldest standing structure and digging irrigation ditches to green the valley floor. A health-resort era followed — the Desert Inn opened in 1909 — and on the strength of its dry air and warm springs the desert stop grew into a winter resort. Palm Springs incorporated as a city in 1938.
