Aneby (stylish organic clothes for children)
Aneby (also sold on Etsy) is a clothing brand for children, producing stylish items made with organic cotton – good for the planet, and for a child’s delicate skin. Designed in the heart of Shropshire, all items are made ethically from premium fabrics.
It’s important that babies don’t overheat (remove hats, socks and cardigans in warmer temperatures and don’t let babies sleep in car seats). Aneby has excellent posts on dressing babies in layers and dressing babies for sleep. Also find safe sleeping advice at The Lullaby Trust.
This brand was founded by a fashion graduate and pattern stylist, who had worked for major companies. After gaining the technical knowledge, she used it to create more sustainable clothing for children.
Aneby collections are not ‘fast-fashion, but in timeless styles that can be handed on to younger children, and transcend seasonal fads.
Designed to last for years, each item is designed to be stylish, enduring, sustainable and to be joyful to wear.
Most items are in neutral colours, to enable easy mix-and-match outfits, and often designed to accompany slightly bigger cloth nappies for younger children.
The range includes:
- Dresses
- Tops
- T-shirts
- Dungarees
- Sweatshirts
- Jackets
- Hats
Aneby advises to avoid tumble-drying, to help clothes last longer.
Items are made in limited numbers, to avoid fabric waste. All clothing is sent in plastic-free packaging, from compostable bags made from sugar cane, to paper or cardboard packaging.
Aneby’s Take Back Scheme
Aneby’s Take Back Scheme is unique, in helping to reduce the 350,000 tonnes of clothing that goes to landfill each year in the UK, especially children’s clothes due to growing bodies. Once your child has outgrown an item, you can send a minimum of 3 items back to the company, and receive an email with a voucher valuer for future purchases.
Any condition is fine (items not good enough to reuse, can be recycled due to natural fabrics), just retain proof of postage.
