Green mums blog - Organic and Natural baby products, cloth nappies, wooden toys, toiletries and clothing

One of the UK’s newest online green ventures, Green Mums, has become the first Devon retailer of Green Eyed Monster childrenswear. The range features unique and contemporary designs created by some of the newest design talent.

The range is lovingly crafted from beautifully soft organic and fair trade materials that are kinder to the skin, the producers and the environment and are now through www.greenmums.co.uk

The range features fun, practical and brightly coloured clothing for babies and children up to 10 years of age. Some of the designs are very ‘retro’ featuring space invaders and russian dolls, making them as appealing to parents as they are to children.

Green Mums managing director Tracy Dixon is delighted. “We have been looking for a new range of organic clothing to add to our existing range. The items from Green Eyed Monster are just what we have been looking for! In addition to loving the clothing, we’re really happy with the ethical attitude of the company. All of the items are produced using fully certified ecological dyeing, printing and production methods, without the use of harmful chemicals, ensuring they are better for your child’s skin and for the planet.

There is a growing demand for high-quality organic children’s clothing. Retailers such as Green Mums are keen to increase their ranges but it is difficult to source.

Just 0.3 percent of cotton is grown organically now, although the World Agricultural Commission predicts that in the next 25 years that will rise to 30 percent.

Green Mums have just taken delivery of a new range of organic clothing for children.

There has been so much hype lately about how we dress our children. Kids clothes don’t seem to be made for kids anymore, they are designed to make girls especially, look grown up. Why would we want them to look grown up when they are still children? Girls as young as six seem to wear clothes that are designed to make them look like teenagers, rather than the young girls that they are. I personally would like my daughter to be a child for as long as possible and am in no rush to make her look older.

I love to see children running around in dungarees and other clothes that are comfortable and easy to move in, with bright colours and an appealing nature. That’s why I love this new range of organic clothing by Roxanne Quimby, the founder of Burts Bees. This range just screams fun at me, and the organic material is so lovely and comfortable for your little one to bounce around in.

These products are very popular in America but we are proud to be the first retailer in the UK to offer this range!  The company was set up by Roxanne in  2007,  my prediction for 2008 is that we will be seeing a lot more children in these funky designs, which is just as it should be!

Our latest products to arrive at Green Mums are these gorgeous hand crocheted organic baby shoes.  They are 100% organic, even the colours are grown on the plant.

Each pair of shoes comes filled with a lavender pouch and they are presented in a calico bag.  These would make a beautiful gift for any new baby.
