Is organic cotton the best? Yes! Kate Quinn Organics is just one of the organic cotton clothing brands we carry here in the store. Kate's company is doing their part to ensure that our children can live in a safer world. Organic cotton can indeed make the Earth a safer place! Here's how:
- Durability. Since it must be processed in a gentle way, organic cotton lasts longer than non-organic cotton, so clothes won't need to be replaced as often.
- Organic cotton growing systems replenish and maintain the soil by avoiding toxic pesticides, while also building biological diversity.
- Fabric touches our skin all day, so chemicals that are present on fabrics will be absorbed by the skin. Choosing chemical-free fabrics for your children (and yourself!) also serves as a protection from illness.
- Organic cotton is good for those who wear it, but also best for workers who plant and harvest it, and workers who weave and sew it.
- More and more people are purchasing organic cotton. In the year 2010 the global market grew by 20%, which is comforting news to parents. The more we grow organically, the safer our lives will be!
Kate Quinn is a clothing designer in Seattle who has chosen to use only organic cotton. Her colors and patterns are sweet and sophisticated. Tired of the predictable in your gender neutral options? You'll be thrilled with Kate Quinn's beautiful patterns and unique color combinations that either boys or girls can look stylish in. Choose an infant sacque for a newborn, or a vintage inspired bodysuit for a boy, or a lovely halter sunsuit for a girl. If you're ever in Seattle you can visit her storefront, but you can stay local because we have her wonderful baby clothes in stock right here at Kustum Kribs!
