Clothing, Everything Baby

Ecorattle was fortunate enough to receive a couple items from the phenomenal Barley and Birch line and we’re happy to report that they’re just as snuggly and all-natural as we would expect.

The company, which proudly makes sure every aspect of their business remains carbon neutral, uses only only certified organic cotton and water-based inks in their kid’s clothing. 10% of all profits also go towards “a variety of organizations working all over the world to improve the lives of others.” In other words, this is a company that is the epitome of sustainable and ethical business.

It also helps they have a sense of humor. Check out any of B&B’s pages and you’ll find some really funny captions to go along with their cute baby models. I particularly like, “Owen was determined to save all the trees even if it took all afternoon.”

For our review, we were provided with an Oak-Print onesie and an Octopus tee. Both items were printed on 100% organic cotton using water-based and toxin-free inks. They come in a variety of sizes up to 24 months. Our little guy looked adorable in each one — and the prints were fresh and very colorful. My only recommendation would be to wash the items first before wearing as some of the natural dye did rub off a bit around the legs. This could also be due to the fact that our guy was wet down there, but washing once would probably avoid this altogether.

Overall, we were very pleased with Barley and Birch’s clever designs and natural materials — and highly recommend their clothing as either a gift or for your own little person. Have a look at the full collection here.
