Dutch term or phrase: zachte kleertjes in afgewassen tinten

De kinderlijn Ten werd zeven jaar geleden in de markt gezet en sloeg meteen aan bij mensen die op zoek waren naar zachte kleertjes in afgewassen tinten.

Flemish Ten label doesn't seem to have a website so I can't check out what these clothes look like. Casual clothes in muted colours? Fashion help, please!

Thanks, I like the gently faded idea, or perhaps muted. BTW not just baby clothes - found a French site that mentions age group is 3 months - 14 years.

soft (little) clothes in pale colours

Explanation:
´Afgewassen´ roept bij mij associaties op van ´verwassen´, met een vale kleur, maar ik neem aan dat hier zachte pastelkleuren bedoeld worden?

I think that people like to hear the word ´soft´ when it comes to babyclothes, and as a marketing strategy it´s great, soft clothes for your baby´s sensitive skin....
