Our kids are our bundles of joy. As they enter our lives, they bring unmatched happiness, love, and warmth into our homes. And, needless to say, we continue to strive to ensure our babies get only the best in everything.
One thing that sticks to our tiny tots through day and night is their clothing. Consequently, it becomes necessary that when we buy our children’s clothes, we not only look at aesthetics and beauty but carefully examine the composition of the material they’re made of. We, at The Little Stitch, only use natural material for our clothes, all handcrafted with love and exuding the timeless charm of the handloom of our country. But why? Let’s dig in to find out.
Softness and Comfort
Natural fabrics, often made of plant and natural sources, are soft and soothing in nature, reminding the kids of a mother’s embrace. These fabrics provide kids with unmatched comfort, keeping them relaxed and happy, no matter where they are and what they’re doing.
Breathability and Absorbing Power
Kids are packets of energy, always up to something! Curiously running around, discovering the world, one adventure at a time, they need clothes that keep them comfortable and allow their skin to breathe.
Natural fabrics like cotton, linen, and wool have excellent breathability. They will ensure your toddler remains cool in summer and warm in winter. With such breathability, your child can enjoy their day and be an adorable explorer with ease. And you wouldn’t have to worry about them being overheated or uncomfortable, or getting rashes and abrasions.
Furthermore, natural fabrics are great absorbents. As your child runs around, plays outdoors, and enjoys active hours, you don’t need to worry about them getting rashes and infections due to sweat. Natural fabrics like cotton and linen absorb moisture easily and dry up easily, leaving behind no worry for you.
Durability and Longevity
As your kids crawl around the house, play in the parks, and fall and topple while enjoying the many facets of their day, they need clothes that can withstand a lot of wear and tear. In such cases, natural fabrics are a great pick as they are generally more durable and can handle frequent washing and rough play. And, all this without losing their shape or softness.
Reduced Chemical Exposure
Our kids have uber-soft skin that’s also very sensitive. While we do everything to ensure they’re safe from allergies and chemicals, why leave behind clothing in this respect? Did you know that synthetic fabrics often undergo chemical treatments to enhance their longevity? These chemicals can leach into the skin and pose health risks for your little ones.
Natural fabrics like cotton, linen, wool, and silk are less likely to cause allergic reactions compared to synthetic fibres. Also, we use azo-free dyes and fabric colours which are skin-friendly and keep your kids safe and their skin glowing!
Eco-Friendly and Sustainable
Clothes made up of natural fabrics are better for your kids and also for the environment and communities. Since natural fibres are biodegradable, they don’t harm the environment by ending up in landfills for years. Furthermore, we, at The Little Stitch, work with local weavers and artisans to bring the best of handlooms and crafts for your children.
Choosing natural fabrics for your children will keep them happy, safe, and comfortable. Also, when you choose natural and handwoven fabrics, you teach your children an innate sense of eco-consciousness and social awareness, building a better future for the world.
