4 Ethical Children Wear Brands To Know

Finding organic kids wear has in some ways been easier than sustainable adult clothing, mainly because parents are willing to pay a premium to ensure that their children receive the best quality products as possible. Recently there has been an explosion of sustainable kids wear brand using organic cotton and modern designs. Here are 5 organic kids wear clothing brands to know, from those that have been around since before sustainable clothing became a ‘fashionable’ topic to newly launched brands.

Piccallily

Piccallily has been around for over 10 years and prides itself on using organic cotton sourced from a specific community called Chetna Organic in Hyderabad, India. Their mission is to improve the livelihood of smallholder farmers, by giving the farmers a  10% share in the factor and thereby using an innovative model of sustainability and community development. Picallily is also passionate about ensuring that their apparel is not made by underage workers, a reminder of the widely known issue that many garment workers in developing countries are children themselves. If transparency is important to you, this is a fantastic brand that has a range of printed fun clothing for children aged 0 to 10 years old. Designs include fun animal faces (the tiger being the best according to my niece) nautical and other whimsical prints. Worldwide shipping is available.
