New Children's Clothes

Children's clothing is great to buy used.  It is comfortable and cheap, it keeps clothing out of the landfill, and you know they're only going to grow out of it before you turn around.  However, we do have reasons to buy new children's clothing, so here are a couple of good local sources that will at least help reduce the emissions associated with shipping of products and/or use organically-grown natural materials to help reduce chemical use in fabrics.

Ecomum sells an assortment of organic cotton and hemp kids clothes and accessories.  Not all are made locally, but she can help you make a decision that feels right to you.  Ecomum has no store front and her web site reflects a Work From Home philosophy.  Her information is located in Where to Buy below.

Ptarmigan Kids Clothing Co.  is a local maker of good quality clothing made of fleece and other fabrics.  Their information is listed below as well.
