new ethical store in brighton

I have long been a fan of Gossypium's fabulous organic cotton clothes so when I spoke to Abi today and learned of their new store in Brighton I was very excited. Nestled in the Lanes, the shop has been kitted out with recycled cardboard shelving and carries all their fab organic basics such as babygrows and t-shirts for teens, yogawear and the new make-it-yourself dress kits. Gossypium aim to be completely transparent in every aspect of their business from cotton field to shop shelf and this commitment to ethical practice was recently recognised by Ethical Consumer magazine. Abi Petit has been a pioneering force in the textile industry and it is great to see her company thriving. 

gorgeous clothes for kids

We have just received some samples from Frugi's beautiful new Autumn/Winter collection and the quality is remarkable. The organic cotton that they use for all of their yummy items is so soft to the touch and the fabric is thick, hardwearing and perfect for autumnal days. We love the berry and earth inspired colour pallet including green tea, apple and blackberry hues. The lined cargo trousers, which cost £27 are a real find being both super soft and comfy, yet v. practical for romping in the woods and exploring. Another favourite is the reversible snuggle fleece in choc chip and tulip wood. Oh, and Frugi do lovely items for babies too. Plus if you are after a bargain, they have a sale of all their summer items at the moment, up to 70% off!
