I don't like Tea style so I guess I prefer Hanna but we only have sleepers! Great quality!

I prefer tea style but I think HA is higher quality and seems softer after a few washes.

I absolutely love HA - the European sizing means my girls don't outgrow them as quickly as typical sizing. The quality is amazing and I am able to pass it down to DD2 and it still looks great. it's pretty much the only brand of clothing I will splurge on for my girls. The play dresses are my favourite. I'm very cheap with clothes otherwise!

I buy a lot of Tea for my 2 year olds (one boy and one girl). I really love the style of Tea dresses for DD, although her HA dresses are fantastic too. I also love the Tea graphic tees for DS. I don't like HA boys stuff quite as well as their simple girl dresses (my daughter has some racer back twirl dresses from HA that I LOVE!). I didn't buy a lot of Tea when they were babies because it was expensive when they were growing out of things quickly (resale value is fantastic, but I generally buy way more than I sell). This summer both kids are rewearing some Tea things that they wore at the end of last summer so that's awesome. Getting more than one season out of their clothes is always my goal! FYI there is a fantastic Tea sale going on right now! Also, if you're interested in going down the Tea rabbit hole, I'll add you to the Facebook Tea BST/general obsession page some of us are members of, @T.H.O.U.: .

Tea is more my style (although I like the recent lines less than previous ones) for my girls (ages 4, 2, and due this fall). I do agree that HA is higher quality than Tea, but that perception may be skewed because I have mostly sweaters/fancier dresses from HA, and cotton items from Tea. I also struggle to find HA on sale - by the time it is, anything I like is usually sold out in my girls' sizes. I'd like to try some of their baby things this time around!

I like Tea style and my daughter loves the softness of Hanna. We have a mix of both.

I really love the styles of tea, HA not as much, although there are some notable exceptions. I find that the quality of tea varies a lot more than Hanna. I find the best quality items DD has are tea, but there is a lot of rubbish tea out there. HA tends to be a tad more consistent.

I love Tea's style for my girls (5 and almost 2), but in general the Tea clothes don't hold up as well, especially the leggings. I'm buying a lot more HA now that we live close to an outlet. I had an online shopping cart full of Tea clothes and stopped by the HA outlet and got some nice soft tees, shorts, and a swimsuit for my DD for a lot less than what was in my Tea cart!

I'm team Hanna. We have an outlet nearby and get lots of sale items for the same price as Old Navy.
ETA just looked up Tea collection- it's too busy. I dig Boden more, HA is still my fave.

I like Tea Collection better. I find it more stylish. The couple HA things that my dd has don't move as well on her and I don't like their style for baby boys much. I also think the HA sizing is HUGE! As for quality, I can only speak to our Tea Collection stuff since it's gotten way more use, but it's held up well. We've had a few pieces over a year.

I've had a few tea collection hand me downs and they've held up well and are cute. I haven't tried HA. But I went into an outlet recently Bc everyone seems to love them. I was a little surprised, it seemed very retro style and just based on feel, didnt seem like any huge jump in quality for the big price difference. I think maybe it just was over hyped in my mind so I was disappointed. But I wouldn't buy either even when they have big sales seem pricey.

I have limited experience but I think HA quality is a little better and Tea has a very specific style, which some people seem to love. I like Tea's style more for babies than for older children.
I think I prefer Boden over both of these brands but for whatever reason, the sales for HA and Tea have been better recently. It is hard for me to swallow the prices on any of these brands when they are not significantly on sale.
