I’ve been on the hunt for eco friendly duds for my little man, but cheap and eco-friendly don’t always come hand in hand. And since babies grow so quickly I’m less likely to spend high dollar for something that will last for a few months, max. Thankfully Target decided it was time to do an eco and budget friendly designer collaboration for babies.
The Little Seed
The Little Seed was started by new moms Soleil Moon Frye (or as some of you might remember her as Punky Brewster) and Paige Tolmach when ‘finding stylish eco-friendly clothing wasn’t easy’. The all-exclusive line for Target is slightly limited to solid brightly colored organic onesies, pants, bibs, towels and blankets. Along with a few hat and bootie sets to spice things up in the cooler months.
The Little Seed
Prices range from $7.99 for onesies and pants to $12.99 for two swaddling blankets, making it easy to stock up on what you need now and later. All of the essentials are made with ’100% organic cotton fibers, and passes the Oeko-Tex Standard 100 certification process, meaning every item is rigorously tested for 100 substances that are harmful to health’. Meaning not only is it safe, it’s super soft and comfy just for baby and his needs .
The line will be available from July 4th until October 16th, so stock up on your baby’s essentials. It’s ‘never too early to sew the seeds of care and responsibility’.

Babies are a very vulnerable population and the rise in allergies, breathing problems etc are probably caused by the rampant untested chemical soup we bring into our homes ( clothing, cleaning products, furnishings and fragrances etc check brands at EWG.org)
Fabric finishes and dyes are as important as the textile fibers and the eco friendly tag has some wavery borders. Just a note of caution – please WASH All Textiles before wearing – just in case.
I am a brand new grandmama, so am uber aware here and work in sustainable fashion <a href="http://(http://fashionethos.blogspot.com)” target=”_blank”>(http://fashionethos.blogspot.com) and in the realm of a better world for her, i suggest askingTarget where the garments are made, under what conditions? The notoriety of sweat shops and exploitive policies has made the clothing industry what it is today. Without a socially just climate the whole becomes a green "same as it ever was."… world where the bullies rule.
I feel so much hapiper now I understand all this. Thanks!
I'm not easily impersesd. . . but that's impressing me!
