Ethically Handmade Products Offered By USA Children's Clothing Company

By Loraine Roane


Ethically made products that are constructed from top line natural cottons, wool, and silk, yet are amazing comfortable for little ones to wear, are offered by an online USA children's clothing company.

They use completely natural dyes - colors that are derived from stems, leaves, bark, flowers, metals which are naturally occurring, and minerals, as well as mordants (usually iron acetate or alum). The fabric is washed following the application of each color (which means that each piece of fabric may be washed up to 20 times)!

In regards to kids' clothes sold in the US, being affordable does not have to mean being so cheaply made that it only takes a few wearing for them to fall apart. This company uses very old and trusted techniques to create durable apparel. Their distinctive designs and patterns are created using the traditional hand-block printing techniques. This slow and simple method is over 250 years old, still actively practiced in both Gujarat and Rajasthan, India, and capable of generating some of the most beautifully unique results.

In this technique, a design is created on a wooden block. A different one is used for each color. The dye is applied directly to this stamp, which is then pressed firmly and steadily onto the cloth repeatedly, until its entire length has been imprinted. When multiple colors are utilized, the fabric is washed and dried after each one, and then the process starts all over with the next hue.

Slave labor is not utilized for any portion of this production process. An acceptable wage is paid to every worker for services rendered.

Some of the boys' shirts that are available include Anil tunics (blue or tan stripes or light blue tile), Luna loungewear, Rocco shirts (blue square, black geometric print, black stripes or light gray ikat), and Rohin shirts (yellow check or light gray or black ikat). Girls' tops include Anil tunics (dark blue or tan stripes), Anouk tops, Chloe tops (chartreuse or blue-grey), Gaya dresses (light or dark blue tile, black geometric print, or yellow), and purple marine print Kayla tops.
