I got to chatting about organic cotton, beautiful designs and the word ‘sapling’ with Peta…
Peta: We have always tried to use organic and sustainable products where possible so when we had kids we naturally turned towards organic products and clothing.  We found it quite difficult to find cute organic baby clothes that were printed with organic dyes, we thought it was pointless to buy organic clothing that had chemicals infused into it from the use of chemical dyes.  So, we decided to come up with our own range using 100% certified organic cotton and printed with 100% organic vegetable dyes (which means our organic fabric isn’t hurt by the nasties in regular chemical dyes). We also noticed that many existing organic brands out there were quite expensive, and we wanted to create something that was accessible for everyone (and cute too!).
How did you come up with the name?
Peta: Funnily, it was the only name that popped into our heads. I guess it sprung from the images of earthiness, green goodness, new life, and of course…babies.
Describe your products in one sentence…
Peta: Safe, pure, whimsical and fun.
Why organic?
Peta: Keeping our range organic was very important to us. We did a lot of research before we had children and discovered that babies skin is really very sensitive. It’s also quite thin and much more porous than ours which means their skin absorbs things quite easily. An incredible amount of chemicals, pesticides, herbicides and insecticides are used in the regular production of cotton. Not to mention all the chemicals and nasties that are used in the dying and print part of cotton production as well. We didn’t want all those nasties rubbing up next to our babies skin, so we made the decision to use organic cotton where possible. The only hard part was find a brand which also used organic dyes!

Where to from here?
Peta: We already have some more lines in the making. We should have our ‘essential’ range out in February. These are easy mix and match pieces with gentle patterns and colours. We also have some very sweet little dresses and bloomers coming out in Feb, so stay tuned….

Thankyou Jodi.
Actually, you inspired me to go organic. So thankyou for being the inspiration to many, & thankyou for introducing us to designers of organic 🙂
And lastly, I have also been so inspired by Che's experiences at Montessouri, that I just had to research this myself. As fate would have it, one is due to open in our area later this year (in an agricultural district within our town).
I am over.the.moon.
I don't comment regularly, I'm sorry.
But you inspire so regularly, so thankyou 🙂
