Speesees, an organic, fair trade baby clothing store in San Francisco
My friends Suzan and Chris, are expecting a baby girl in a few months, so I decided to purchase an organic cotton, baby kimono outfit from a store called Speesees. Armed with a 25% off coupon from the Green Zebra book, I made the trek to the Dogpatch neighborhood near Potreo Hill, an area slowly converting from warehouses to high end lofts and offices thanks to the new Third Street rail.
Inside their warehouse shop, I found a great outfit for a newborn, an orange kimono top with a seahorse on it with carefully stitched, matching lime green yoga pants (see photo above, extreme right mannequin). Not only is the cotton organic, but it is fair trade, handpicked in India. I really enjoyed getting the gift, and it definitely stands out from the typical baby shower present! You can also order Speesees products online.

Yes organic childrens clothing is great and its good to know that it also contribute to a better environment.
I found unexpectedly a lovely boutique in Italy, in rural Italy not Milan or Rome which had a lovely range of organic cotton and organic wool clothing for children. If you ever happen to be in Sarnano take a look at Maria’s Organic Babies. I believe she has a website too try giving http://www.mariasorganicbabies.com a try.
