Green Kids Offers a Rainbow of Possibilities

By Carolyn Kavarnos

Parents are more conscious than ever about making their child’s life as green and healthy as possible, right from the start. Dangerous chemicals and pesticides can be found in some clothing made for children that’s made from cotton treated with pesticides. In addition about 80% of the environmental impact from clothing is in the manufacturing. The dyes, packaging bags, boxes, hangers and the processes used to manufacture the clothing and distribution supplies can negatively impact the environment.

Many more consumers are also determined to do business with companies who support “fair trade,” ensuring that everyone in the supply chain, from the cotton farmers to the pattern cutters and everyone in between will be treated fairly, paid a fair wage and work in a clean environment.

A good example of brands that support these environmental and socially responsible virtues are Green Kids and Green Baby.

Green Kids clothing is available for boys and girls in sizes 2Y - 8Y. Made with 100% organic cotton and safe, lead-free dyes, the stylish collection is comfortable and fun to wear. With a wide selection of tops, pants, dresses, skirts, sleepwear and accessories, as well as a limited edition girl’s collection, retailers have lots of options to satisfy customer demand. Green Kids makes quality clothing that wears well and lasts, so it can be given for others to wear.

Green Kids recently collaborated with Rogues Gallery, the ethical American designer label known for their edgy graphics, recyclable clothing and innovative designs, on a line of 100% organic cotton, unisex tees inspired by vintage marine life and wild animals.

One of the hottest and newest designs from Green Kids is the Reversi-T. This t-shirt made of 100% organic cotton is revolutionary because it is four shirts in one. The unique design of this shirt enables kids to turn and reverse one t-shirt to give it four different styles. With lots of fun designs for boys and girls, the Reversi-T is a big hit with kids and parents.

Green Baby has been organic and fair trade since 1999 and carries organic clothing, bedding, nursery, toys, gifts and skin care products for babies and children.
