The Miami Beach baby bodysuit, for the town that is pastel Art Deco and candy-colored towers on the sand. Soft fine jersey with the Miami Beach 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 Miami Beach piece most often bought for someone else.

Our unisex infant bodysuit pairs light 4.5 oz (153 g/m²) fine jersey with ribbed binding, side seams, and a secure snap crotch for easy changes. It's soft and breathable, in 100% combed ringspun cotton for solid colors and a cotton–polyester blend for heather shades.

Miami Beach was dredged out of mangrove sandbar by Carl Fisher, John Collins and the Lummus brothers; the Collins Bridge of 1913 was then the longest wooden bridge in the world, and the town incorporated on March 26, 1915. Fisher sold it with a billboard that read It’s Always June and an elephant named Rosie.

The hotel boom of the 1930s and 40s left about eight hundred Art Deco, Streamline Moderne and MiMo buildings along Ocean Drive, Collins and Washington, the world’s largest concentration, and the lifeguard towers on the sand became its postcard. A barrier island between Biscayne Bay and the Atlantic, South Beach 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.

How do I care for my item?

Apparel: wash cold, inside out, with like colors; no bleach; tumble dry low or hang dry. Embroidered pieces: iron inside out to protect the stitching. Caps: spot clean. Printed glasses and water bottles: hand wash only, no dishwasher, so the artwork lasts. Mugs and engraved glasses are dishwasher safe. Any item-specific care notes are in the description above.

Who makes this?

Merlin Classics is a small Connecticut brand making original retro designs for the towns people love. Every piece is printed, embroidered or engraved to order in the USA, and the business supports hunger relief in the communities our collections celebrate.

What’s with the Art Deco? Walk down Ocean Drive and the whole street looks like a 1930s daydream painted in sherbet — pastel hotels with rounded corners and racing stripes, porthole windows, and neon that comes alive at dusk. This is the Miami Beach Architectural District, the largest concentration of Art Deco buildings anywhere in the world: roughly eight hundred of them, packed into the blocks of South Beach. Most went up in the 1930s — small stucco hotels built cheap and optimistic during the Depression — in a local style so distinct it earned its own name: Tropical Deco, with nautical curves, shady “eyebrows” over the windows, and a palette borrowed from the sea and the sunset.

It started with a bridge. Collins ran short of money finishing a two-and-a-half-mile wooden span to the mainland — the longest in the world at the time — and Fisher loaned him the cash in exchange for land. On March 26, 1915, Collins, Fisher, and the Lummus brothers folded their separate beach companies together and chartered the Town of Miami Beach. Fisher then sold it to the world: grand hotels, polo fields, and a Times Square billboard that promised “It’s always June in Miami.” For one publicity stunt he posed a baby elephant as a golf caddie for a president-elect. America’s winter playground was open for business.

Why People Visit Miami Beach

Miami Beach rewards visitors who want style with their sand: the world’s great Art Deco strip, a wide Atlantic beach, walkable streets, and neon nights. Add the South Beach glow and the year-round Florida sun, and the man-made island makes an easy case for itself.
