Care Advice - Loved Clothes Last Longer

The best way to reduce the impact fashion has on the environment is to simply buy less, to have fewer items and wear them more. Our baby and children's clothes are designed to be worn, please don't keep them for best; keep them out and wear them every day.

When you choose our children’s dresses, you are investing in a piece of slow fashion. The clothes are designed and made to last and you can make a difference to their life time and our environment in the way you choose to care for them. Here are some tips for loving your clothes, keeping them looking fresh and bright and saving energy.

100% Cotton

All our dresses, are handmade using 100% cotton. Cotton, as a natural fabric, doesn't necessarily need to be washed as often, saving you money, water and energy.

Wash on 30 Degrees

Use a mild detergent and wash them at a lower temperature. If you want to take extra care, you could use a net laundry bag to protect them in the wash from snagging on other garments. Remember to wash dark colours separately.

Air Dry

We do not recommend tumble drying any of our clothes. Instead, you can pop them on an airer or out on the line to dry naturally in the fresh air. It's more cost effective and protects the fibres in the clothes from damage and shrinkage.

Cool or Medium Iron

Life is busy and we know lots of you don't have time to iron. Our dresses may benefit from a quick once over. We find the best way to iron the reversible designs is to iron the two sides together. If it's a winter style, reversing with the corduroy, you should always iron on the cotton side.

Sustainability

Our Planet, our environment and the future health of our children are more important than fast fashion.

One of the most important decisions you can make is to invest in fewer, but far better-quality clothes which you can wear again and again and keep for longer. Then you can take part in the circular economy by thinking carefully about what to do with clothes when you’ve finished with them – will you hand them on, swap or resell? All these option are particularly easy with children’s clothes.

100% Cotton

All our dresses are handmade using 100% Cotton. Cotton, as a natural fabric, doesn’t necessarily need to be washed as often, saving you money, water and energy. As a natural fibre, cotton also doesn’t release microplastics into our oceans. When you choose cotton, you are supporting the future of our planet.

Growing Up

We know that children grow and have designed our styles with this in mind, it’s all in the detail: You can buy dresses to be calf-length and keep wearing them until they become a top to outfit. Our dresses in particular, look great as tunic tops.

What Next?

A key part of our philosophy is to work with suppliers that create clothes which are timeless and we hope that your favourite dress will be handed onto younger siblings, cousins or friends and maybe even kept for the next generation.

Currently more than 300,000 tonnes of clothing end up in landfill in the UK every year. We want to make sure none of it is from our clothing.

Here are some ways you can help:

If you can, the best idea is to hand them on for someone else to love and enjoy.
Or you could joining the growing trend for “Swishing Events”; bring friends together and swap clothes.
Alternatively, you could sell them. There is a thriving pre-loved market and most areas have special sales organised by local groups such as the National Childbirth Trust.
Take your items to your local charity shop or clothing bank.
Or, you can return your as-good-as new items to us and benefit from a £5 discount on any full priced dresses
