Great Organic Baby Clothes for a Greener Start in LifeOrganic baby clothes are now a must for most mums and dads when they come to kitting out their new arrival. Fortunately, you don't have to be drab to be green! Baby clothes are now available in many eco-friendly and quite funky designs and colours. To help you through the maze of possibilities, here are some of the cutest and greenest options around. Fair trade and ethical issues are also a factor here; buy with confidence that the companies featured are striving to be as green and ethical as they can be!
First here's a look at organic cotton baby wear. Organic cotton is the material of choice for many parents seeking out eco-friendly clothing for small babies. It is cool and comfortable and hard wearing and very easy to wash. Here are some really cute designs from Sckoon as featured on Amazon. Sckoon specialises in organic cotton designs produced in New York and is a highly eco-conscious company. They subscribe to fair trade practises and all their clothes are fully organic. Here is a company which is really ticking all the boxes: Sckoon clothing is certified by Demeter (the international biodynamic certification board) and AGRECO (USDA Accredited Certifying Agent). Sckoon clothing is now available in 16 countires worldwide. Easy fastenings and hip looksThe fastenings and stitching on Sckoon baby clothes are made to be really easy on baby skin. Stitching is done so that the stitching is not next to your baby's skin. One of the great things about Sckoon baby wear is that it is also quite attractive and hip-looking. Just because you want to be green does not mean to have to sacrifice your fashion sense. Many of the Sckoon designs have Japanese influences - in fact there's a whole collection called the Zen Collection which features Japanese prints and motifs. Our Green House
Our Green House has some very practical "footie" striped baby wear in his n' hers blue and pink. The snap fittings make dressing simple and quick and they are made from fully organic cotton. Sizes upto 6 months old are available.
Some UK options for organic baby clothes
Lazy Baby is part of the Plain Lazy fashion label. They specialise in cool urban wear but they are also self-confessed tree-huggers. Go to their Ethics page and it's clear they are trying to square the circle of street-cred and ethical practices. They are now able to add the Fairtrade label to their baby range. All their baby hoodies and T-shirts are made from pure organic cotton and their warehouses and offices are run on renewable energy, too. Pretty cool!
The logos are quite funny - especially the "can't...(yet)" range. You can see the "can't skate (yet)" T shirt here at Plain Lazy There are nine "can't ...(yet)" designs to choose from including surf, ski and snowboard. A design to please active parents, no doubt! Plain Lazy are working hard to bring the rest of their product range up to the same high standards as Lazy Baby.
