The most durable, sustainable, and ethical baby & toddler clothing brands for 2023
In 2023, being made from just organic cotton is NOT going to cut it for the eco-conscious family. Much of the world's organic cotton is either grown by forced labor (ie. the Uighur minority in China) or grown in countries like India that struggle with water scarcity.
The latest class of environmentally responsible baby and toddler clothing brands are using design, rather than supply chain, to solve what will be the biggest challenge of our children's lifetime--the climate crisis.
