In an age where parents are increasingly aware of the environmental and health impacts of their purchasing decisions, a revolution is quietly taking place in children's fashion.
Korduroy Kidz! we are a locally owned organic kids clothing label. Dedicated to producing toxic free and certified organic kids clothing. Specialising in primarily corduroy, a timeless fabric now being reimagined through a sustainable and organic lens. This article delves into the rise of our humble, yet fast growing business dedicated to producing GOTS-certified organic corduroy kids' clothing, highlighting its numerous benefits and the values driving its success.
The Birth of a Green Movement
The shift towards sustainable living has touched nearly every aspect of our lives, from the food we eat to the products we use daily. In the realm of fashion, this movement inspired Myself (Meg) and my partner Ryan to create Korduroy Kidz, a business that prioritize the planet and its inhabitants. Korduroy Kidz is aimed to set a new standard by producing children's clothing made from GOTS-certified organic corduroy.
GOTS, or the Global Organic Textile Standard, is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain. This certification ensures that the corduroy used in our clothing is produced without the use of harmful chemicals, pesticides, or synthetic fertilizers, making it a safe and eco-friendly choice for children.
Health and Comfort First
One of the standout features of our organic corduroy kids' clothing is its hypoallergenic properties. Children, with their sensitive skin, are particularly vulnerable to the irritants found in conventional fabrics. Organic corduroy, free from harsh chemicals and synthetic additives. Provide a gentle alternative that reduces the risk of allergic reactions and skin irritations. Parents can rest easy knowing their children are wrapped in fabric that is as safe as it is comfortable.
In addition to all our clothing being hypoallergenic, organic corduroy is incredibly soft to touch. The meticulous production process ensures that the fabric maintains its natural softness, providing a cozy and comfortable wear for children. This softness does not come at the expense of durability. Our organic corduroy is renowned for its strength and longevity, making it a practical choice for active kids who need clothing that can keep up with their adventures.
Sustainability at our Core
Sustainability is not just a buzzword for our business; it is a guiding principle that influences every aspect of our operations. From sourcing materials to the manufacturing processes, We are committed to minimizing its environmental footprint. The use of GOTS-certified organic cotton ensures that the farming practices employed are sustainable and promote soil health, biodiversity, and water conservation.
The production of our garments also adheres to strict ethical standards. Ryan and I work closely with our suppliers to ensure fair wages, safe working conditions, and the absence of child labor. This commitment to ethical manufacturing practices not only supports the well-being of workers but also fosters a sense of community and empowerment within the supply chain.
A Vegan-Friendly Choice
In addition to being organic and sustainable, Korduroy Kidz is also vegan. This means that no animal products or by-products are used in the production process. For parents who are conscious of animal welfare and are raising their children with similar values, Korduroy Kidz provides an option that aligns with their ethical beliefs. The absence of wool, leather, and other animal-derived materials does not compromise the quality or functionality of our garments. Instead, it highlights our dedication to creating products that are kind to all living beings.
Style Meets Functionality
While the focus on sustainability and health is paramount, Korduroy Kidz does not compromise on style. Organic corduroy, with its distinctive ribbed texture, offers a unique and fashionable look that sets it apart from other fabrics.
