Organic Cotton Clothes for Kids

By Shula Achnairn and Linda Sones

How do you like to dress your child? Do you want him or her to look like a miniature adult or to be a child as long as possible? From my own observations there does seem to be a need in some people to dress children like mini adults which I feel is a pity. I would argue that these years are very precious and from my own experience as a mother I can tell you they pass all too quickly. I would be really interested to hear your viewpoint on this question. One thing which I am sure we will agree upon is that children’s clothes need to be versatile and give value for money.

There are some great clothes available now in organic cotton which is soft and cosy for your child because the cotton fibres are intact and not broken by the chemicals and machines used in conventional cotton farming and production of textiles. An important point to consider is that organic cotton is less likely to trigger allergies because there are no harmful chemicals used either in growing the cotton or in finishing the material. Organic cotton has maximum breathability because it does not contain anti shrink resins. But don’t worry all clothes sold on the website are sized to allow for shrinkage, but having said that it’s not a good idea to “cook” them in the tumble dryer but they are fine dried on a low heat. As ever I would recommend using an environmentally friendly washing powder like Ecover which has the additional benefit of being kinder to tender baby skin, but perhaps that’s just me on my hobby horse! Although colours and patterns are funky they are produced without toxic dyes and fasteners are nickel free. So again less likelihood of allergic reactions.

Clever designs which are produced with thought and care can make a lot of difference to your child’s comfort and that is really important for little ones. They can’t tell you when the material is harsh and rubbing or waistbands are constricting and pinching. But all this care and attention to detail does not mean that clothes need be boring and unattractive. Visit us at Sonesuk to see some of the lovely outfits we have on sale from dungarees to tee shirts. The new autumn range which will be arriving soon has even more clothes which are reversible; so not only have you two different tops in one garment, but on those occasions that seem to happen all too often with kids when you leave home with a clean top and arrive to find there has been an accident with an ice-cream or similar, no problem just turn it inside out. (This used to happen to me all too often on the way to the baby clinic!) Another clever idea is rollups on trousers and dungarees with contrasting patterns which can change the whole look. You might say more looks for less money. As the clothes are made with best quality organic cotton they will wear well and pass down to little brothers and sisters. So style for little ones is achieved without sacrificing that all important comfort factor and moreover they look like the small children they are.
