10 years of supporting fair trade
'Fair trade' is about being fair to the people we trade with to get our Green Baby products on the shelves. That means that everyone in the supply chain, from the cotton farmers to the pattern cutters and everyone in between can bank on the fact that we will support them, that they will be paid a fair wage, enjoy tea breaks, proper sanitation and work in pleasant and clean environments. It also means that we pay them the kind of prices for their products that enable them to plan for their families and future.

Green Baby partners
We produce all of our organic cotton children's clothing and organic cotton baby bedding at Assisi Garments, in association with sense-organics, in South India, a member of the World Fair Trade Organization.

This community project, managed by the Sisters of Assisi, runs a school for deaf girls and the organic clothing factory was set up to provide jobs for them when they finish their education. It now provides them with a place to live, all their meals and a fair wage.

In the ten years we have been providing regular orders for our organic kid's clothing all year round, the factory has been able to expand from the original 12 girls to a team of 200. All of the cotton we use has been certified 100% organic by GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) which is an internationally recognised governing body working to guarantee the integrity of organic agriculture.

Our Merino knitwear is produced by a Women's Fair Trade cooperative in Uruguay.

MANOS' commitment to the environment is reflected in the use of luxurious natural merino fibres. They enforce the rational use of water and other resources
and avoid using harmful chemicals during the kettle dyeing process.

MANOS was founded in 1968, looking for a way to help women in Uruguay's countryside to generate income opportunities.
When defining their product they looked at the material they had at hand: wool, and the traditional skills they had inherited.
They spin, dye, knit and weave the products by hand.
Today, Manos is a cooperative of 400 women, but during
peak export periods, they are working with as many as 1200 women.
