The best tips for buying sustainable children’s clothing, sustainable baby products and sustainable toys!
Perhaps you want to buy more sustainable toys, sustainable baby products or sustainable children’s clothing, but you don’t know which of the exhibitors at your wholesaler stocks them? Follow this guide to discover the range on offer at more than 250 brands in the baby & kids department of Trademart.
Why do your customers prefer sustainable products?
Studies suggest that there are several reasons why parents prefer sustainable children’s collections. It is essential that you understand these reasons to better meet the expectations and needs of your customers.
A gift for the environment…
Parents care about the future of their children. That is why they are attentive to the environmental impact of their purchases. You can point out to them that synthetic materials such as polyester and plastic take centuries to decompose, and generate huge amounts of waste. Materials such as wood or cotton from sustainable collections for children can be recycled. The result is a clear reduction in the carbon footprint. Reusable water bottles and snack boxes also contribute to reducing waste.
… and for health
Children’s skin and immune systems are more sensitive: parents are increasingly choosing sustainable collections for children for health reasons. Sustainable toys made from wood or natural rubber, for example, are free from chemical products or toxic paints that may cause irritation, skin rashes or allergies. In addition to this, sustainable children's clothing contains fewer synthetic materials such as nylon and polyester, and more natural fibres like cotton, linen, hemp, silk or wool.
"And to make matters better, these natural fibres are more often the fruit of organic farming that does not use pesticides, herbicides or synthetic fertilisers."
Introduce the best sustainable clothing for children to your shop or online store
Many exhibitors at Trademart present sustainable fashion brands for children that meet these customer expectations.
Always remember to take a look at the labels. Several exhibitors propose sustainable kids clothing that carries the Oeko-Tex® label. This European certificate guarantees that the textiles do not contain harmful substances. Petit Bateau, for example, has had this label for 10 years. Several other clothing brands proudly carry the GOTS label, an international label awarded to organic and socially responsible textiles, integrated to European legislation. At the exhibitor Mrs. Jansen Agency, you will find two brands that carry the GOTS label: colourful kids clothing by Copenhagen Colors and children’s and babies’ clothing from Müsli.
Note that sustainable children’s fashion at Trademart is not limited to children’s clothing. What about a 100% organic baby sling made from bamboo fibres, like the one by Babylonia? Hoorens offers various forms of sustainable textiles for babies, including bibs, towels and ponchos for baby from Timboo. Finally, the most beautiful eco-friendly washable rugs for the nursery are waiting for you at Lorena Canals.
