Here are eight organic clothes brands your kids will love. By supporting organic textile practices, you can do your part for the environment – and for the future of your children.
Living a sustainable lifestyle is seemingly difficult enough on your own — once kids enter the picture, it can become a lot more daunting. It becomes easier to choose quantity over quality, and convenience over sustainability. However, that doesn’t need to be the case! Children actually need a lot less than you think. So if you want to buy new clothes for kids, invest in organic and good-quality pieces.
Don’t forget, you can also shop second-hand for kids. Hand-me-downs from friends, cousins, or neighbors can also help extend a garment’s life and cut back on textile waste. After all, children grow out of clothes quickly!

Reasons to Buy Organic Clothes for Kids and Adults
There are countless clothing brands for kids and adults alike which use organic fabrics. But is organic cotton really that much better? The simple answer is yes. Not only is organic cotton known to be softer and gentler on skin than its non-organic counterpart, it also has a host of other benefits:
- no toxic chemicals, synthetic pesticides or GMOs used
- hypoallergenic and great for sensitive skin
- more durable and better quality
Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is one of the main certifying boards, and ensures strict environmental and social criteria are met during farming and production.
