MUDD Kids - Organic Fair Trade

MUDD Kids is an online organic, fair trade baby and children's store.

If you are looking for a new baby gift, I would recommend checking them out. Their Soy Kimono Bodysuits are just beautiful and come in 3 different colours - Chocolate, Petal & Tea (even the names are cute!).



The Bamboo dress in Natural is just gorgeous, and if that's not enough, the little girl wearing it is enough to make you buy one!



My favourite thing would have to be the Huggalugs! These are funky leg warmers for babies to kids age 6. They can also be worn on the arms and are great for under skirts, especially when toilet training!! No tights! My girls are now 8 & 9, but I'm sure I can get them to fit somehow!!

Here is what owner Amy Dolwing says about her store;

"Helping our little ones to grow up with a green influence is easy at MUDD Kids. While
more and more people are becoming educated about chemicals used in the manufacturing of
our clothes, you'll be glad to see we've come across a fabulous range of Eco-friendly
clothing.

Our eco-friendly clothing lines may assist in the rising number of children suffering
skin allergies and sensitivity as they are chemical free.

Many people are still unaware of the benefits of eco-friendly fabrics, so here is a quick overview!

SOY is smoother than cashmere and has the same moisture absorption as cotton. It's being touted "vegetable cashmere". It is conscientious and green by using the the natural leftover pulp from tofu, soy milk and other soy products.

BAMBOO fabric has a natural sheen and softness that feels and drapes like silk. Bamboo is an eco-friendly, sustainable crop. Bamboo grows naturally without the need for agricultural tending.

Our Baby Soy & Kicky Pants lines range between $4 -$32, with the average being just $15. A very affordable and safe option for dressing your child.

What are you waiting for, jump over to Mudd Kids and start shopping for your sustainable wardrobe today!"

Babysoy have all the boxes ticked, eco friendly - tick, great colours – tick, great designs – tick, practical pieces – tick, great mix and match options - tick.

Soybean protein fiber is a sustainable and botanical textile fiber made from renewable and biodegradable natural resources - the leftover soybean pulp from tofu and soymilk production. Its 16 amino acids are healthy and nutritional for our skin. It is a green textile fiber that possesses the superiorities of many natural and synthesized fibers.

I cant decide which piece I like the best, but the short list is the Kimono Long Sleeve Bodysuits, Reversible Hoodie, Duo Knot Hat & The Layered Romper.

Which is your Fav?

What can you possibly make from leftover pulp from tofu, soymilk and other soy products? Apparently an absolutely beautiful range of baby clothing!

Babysoy is the first company in the world to create baby’s clothes using soybean protein fiber. The result of their hard work is not only an eco-friendly alternative to other fibers, but a silky-smooth fabric that is perfect for sensitive skin.

The clothing range itself consists predominantly of t-shirts, kimono tops, pants, booties and mittens, in a range of beautiful neutral colors, making for the perfect basic baby layette.

Babysoy can be purchased from Mudd Kids with prices for a single item starting from $4.00 AUD who ship to NZ for very reasonable rates.

Soybean clothing - good for baby, good for the planet

Written by Geraldine Cardozo

I’ve long been a fan of soy milk – for me and the boys – so my natural curiosity for this bean led me to find out more about Babysoy. To my surprise, this wasn’t a brand of soy formula or baby milk, but a line of clothing made from the leftover pulp from tofu, soymilk and other soy products. All the pieces in this mix and match range of children’s clothing (newborn to toddler) are made using eco-friendly soybean protein fibre – a natural renewable resource that also feels fabulously soft against the skin. According to the website, soybean fibre is smoother than cashmere and has the same moisture absorption as cotton but with a better moisture transmission, making it more comfortable on the skin. Babysoy founder Amy launched the range a few years ago after the birth of her first child, when a lifelong friend told her about his discovery of the soy protein fibre. "My son suffers from excema and these pieces are lovely on his skin," adds the US-based designer, who has since seen her business grow with the support of green-parents, trendy boutiques, the odd eco-celebrity and groovy and informative websites like this. These are cozy, comfy clothes for wrapping up in. I particularly like the boys' and girls' playwear (the cargo pants with side pockets are great for curious tots to store bits and bobs), and the essentials range of hats, blankets, socks and bibs would make a great newborn gift at any baby shower. The line starts at around $4 for socks and booties and is available in Australia via Mudd Kids or direct from Babysoy. VIEW ARTICLE HERE
