Happy Green Bee

Happy Green Bee is an American organic clothing company focusing on children's cotton garments. It was founded by Roxanne Quimby who was also a co-founder of Burt's Bees (along with her partner Burt). The patterns on Happy Green Bee clothes mimic a bee's stripes.



I wonder if I will ever find a childrenswear company that actually seems to favour boy's clothes and manages to make them interesting?

Sticking with an international theme for now, here is a French children's clothing brand called Catimini. Their garments are available for children from the time they're newborn babies until they're 14 year's old.

Nordic Kids

Nordic Kids is a British website that sells Scandinavian children's brands including Katvig and Ida T. The clothes available on this site are brightly coloured, they feature motifs that aren't absurdly gender specific but they're not impractical either.

Eternal Creation

Eternal Creation operates out of a design and production workshop in the Indian Himalayas and employs more than 70 staff members from the local area. It was founded by Frances Carrington who was sent to the region to train Tibetan refugees to make clothes and the garments the company produces are vibrant, bright and interesting.

Kate Quinn Organics

There is something pleasantly utilitarian about the style of Kate Quinn Organics. The combination of pale, eye catching colours and A-lines really appeal and I love how uncomplicated the designs are.

vivi mimo

Fairtrade handmade clothes for children aged between 3 months and 7 years are available from vivi mimo. This is all the more evident from the restricted range of sizes of each individual garment and the expense of them but if you are prepared to spend or simply want to look at some lovely pieces of clothing you should take a look at the website.



I have noticed that I would regard the cut of quite a lot of the clothes that are being featured as quite feminine. I need to think further about whether that is something that is self-evident to anyone from the same region as me or if I am applying that value to these clothes.
