Our baby T-shirts, hats, bibs and grows are 100% certified organic cotton. This means the cotton is grown using methods and materials that have a low impact on the environment. In fact, the production systems used help preserve our air, our water, our soil and reduce the global use of toxic and persistent fertilizers and pesticides.
Conventional farming uses roughly a 1/3lb of pesticides and fertiliaers to produce enough coton to make a single t-shirt. Switching to organic coton improves lives for millions of people and makes a difference to the global environment.
Even the company we chose to print our lovely designs is ethical and organic. It was the first UK printing company to be accredited by the Ethical Company Organisation and is licensed as the sole supplier of authentic organic print in the UK. It is a registered supplier for the Fairtrade Foundation.
Other products we stock all come from companies who our passionate about fairly trading, environmentally friendly production and using organic materials where possible. For example our handknitted toys come from the wonderful ladies at the Kenana Knitters group in Njoro, Kenya. This group enables its workers to directly benefit from their efforts.
And be a sweetie... reduce the temperature of your wash and line dry your garments whenever possible as this helps to reduce greenhouse gases.
Gorgeous Goodies are in Partnership with The Meningitis Trust. We donate 50p to the charity from the sale of every product with a retail value of £15 or more. The Meningitis Trust is dedicated to helping everyone who is coping with the impact of meningitis and raising awareness of this devastating disease.
So go shopping and be good....
