Frugi is a children’s organic clothing brand in Cornwall, which mostly produces in organic cotton. Everything is made ethically in India where the company supports an orphanage, and sent in biodegradable packaging, made from potatoes!)
A few items may contain synthetic fibres (launder in a microplastic catcher). For baby clothing, The Lullaby Trust has information on suitable clothing (and bedding) to help prevent crib death.
Organic cotton is not just better for the planet, but also good for children, as the lack of chemicals means they are usually gentler on skin, especially for children with eczema.
And although organic cotton clothing costs a little more, they last longer as the fibres have not been treated with chemicals.
The range is huge, so have a look around the site, as there are always new designs, but also lots of regular sale bargains. Mostly items are made from organic cotton, but the circular range often is made from recycled cotton, and many items are reversible to make two outfits from one, and some even expand with the children as they grow, to save money and materials.
The range includes lunch bags made from recycled plastic bottles with foil linings to keep food fresh, and themes (like clothing inspired by the National Trust’s conservation work).
