If you're wondering whether OshKosh B'gosh and Carter's are the same brand, here are the answers. I'll explain more below, but if you're just looking for the take-home message, then yes, Carter's owns the OshKosh B'gosh brand, although the styles are different. And yes, if you wish, you're able to shop just the OshKosh B'gosh products at the Carter's site here.
Historical context
Historically, OshKosh B'gosh and Carter's were sibling brands. This is different to now when Carter's actually owns OshKosh B'gosh.
Back when they were sibling brands, Carter's was the inexpensive one while OshKosh B'gosh was the elevated brand fashion-wise. The brand name recognition factor of OshKosh B'gosh and its iconic children's overalls meant that it was incredibly popular and incredibly well-known. But even so, OKBG was (and still is) more affordable than people thought, and certainly cheaper than popular children's boutique brands such as Janie and Jack.
What the OKBG and Carter's relationship is now
Now it's a bit different. There is only one umbrella brand, Carter's, which owns the OshKosh B'gosh brand and 3 others:
- PurelySoft (children's pajamas)
- Little Planet (organic and sustainable children's wear)
- SkipHop (baby gear, toys, mealtime items, and more)
All of these brands, plus Carter's, can all be accessed via the Carter's homepage and selecting "brands".
And yes, all these brands share a combined cart and checkout. So that's good news because you can combine items to get to free shipping. And you can mix and match from the brands however you want.
So to summarize, OshKosh B'gosh and Carter's are brands with different looks so they have their own identity. However, Carter's owns OshKosh B'gosh and 3 other brands, all of which you can shop at from the Carter's homepage. They all share a combined cart and checkout.
