Why organic cotton, here of all places
Bamboo lyocell drapes beautifully. That is exactly what you want in a sleepsuit and exactly what you do not want in a waistband. Structure is the whole requirement for a pair of trousers, so the organic cotton baby bottoms here are made from the fabric that does that job properly. It holds a tailored leg, it recovers at the waist, and it stands up to being washed as often as this climate demands.
Organic cotton is grown without synthetic pesticides, and like everything else we make it is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, so it has been tested for harmful substances before it goes anywhere near her. Soft on the skin, sturdy where it needs to be.
Shorts, mostly, and that is the honest answer
For most of the year here, shorts are what actually gets worn. Sailor pants come into their own indoors under air conditioning and on the cooler evenings, which is a real season in the Gulf even if it is a short one. There are shorties with straps and skirts for something slightly dressier, and footed pant styles for babies who are not walking yet and lose socks at a rate nobody can explain.
The layer you buy last and need most
Almost everyone buys bodysuits and sleepsuits first and then realises they have nothing to put on the bottom half. Bottoms are the piece that turns a base layer into an outfit, and they are usually what you are short of.
Pair them with magnetic bodysuits and tops for the simplest thing you can put a baby in, or find both halves already sorted in a matching set.
Four shapes, each solving a different day. Sailor shorts in organic cotton for the months when anything longer is unkind. Sailor pants for air-conditioned indoors and for evenings. Ocean Bloom skirts. Shortie with straps, which is the one that stays put on a baby who is not walking yet. Sizes 0-3 months through 18-24 months.
Why these are cotton, and other questions
Why are the bottoms organic cotton rather than bamboo?
Because a waistband and a knee need structure. Bamboo drapes softly, which is perfect in a sleepsuit and wrong in a tailored leg. Organic cotton keeps its shape through repeated washing, which is exactly what bottoms are asked to do.
Is organic cotton good for a baby's skin?
Yes. It is grown without synthetic pesticides and, like everything we make, is OEKO-TEX Standard 100 certified, meaning it is tested for harmful substances. For the pieces that need structure, it is the right choice.
Shorts or pants for the UAE?
Shorts for most of the year. Pants earn their place indoors under air conditioning and through the cooler evenings, which do exist here even if the season is short.
What styles are in the bottoms collection?
Shorts, sailor pants, shorties with straps, skirts and footed pant styles for babies who are not yet walking.
Do the waistbands hold up after washing?
That is the reason for the fabric choice. Organic cotton recovers at the waist and holds a tailored leg in a way a softer drape does not.
