Have someone in the family who just had a baby and you are not sure what to get them? Or maybe you are heading to a baby shower? Here are a few great ideas for newborns that are safe, organic and locally designed.
Kiin Baby
The first collection of products was Moses baskets and muslin swaddles released in 2019. Their inspiration is to create naturally inspired, high-quality, organic and gender-neutral designs. This Australian-based company has an all-female staff and prides itself on the finish of its products and on making sure its making and selling have a minimal impact on the planet.
Hooded Towel
Hooded towels are a classic for newborns because it is so important to keep them warm at this age, and with a regular towel they lose heat through their heads. These hooded towels are attractive and are thicker and larger than most other hooded towels on the market because your little one deserves luxury and warmth too. It also means they can continue to use the towels as they grow! Made from a blend of organic cotton and bamboo they dry and warm quickly and being hypo-allergenic are good for that sensitive skin.
Rainbow Muslin Swaddle
One of the things parents like to do with their newborns is swaddling them. It is a great way to keep them close to your body, keep them safe and keep them warm. Kiin Baby offers organic cotton and bamboo blended swaddle fabrics in a variety of looks. It is soft and comfortable, gentle on their skin, and makes them feel secure. The material is hypoallergenic, antibacterial and breathable and extremely eco-friendly.
Susukoshi
At Susukoshi the focus has been on developing comfortable, practical baby clothes that are not just suitable for one season but are timeless, as well as being organic and high-quality. Founded just 6 years ago by 2 mothers who were inspired by Japanese architecture and design that embraces this timeless, simple attention to quality and detail. The focus is on handpicked colours, fabrics and so on rather than mass production.
Kimono Long Sleeve Bodysuit
Also called onesies or creepers the bodysuit is something all babies wear, sometimes that is all they wear and sometimes you can layer it with other clothing. The problem is some are not ethically made, or made from organic materials. The bodysuits at Susukoshi are. They are soft so that they are suitable for the baby’s skin and they are made from organic cotton. Easy to change they range up from newborn to 1 year old in sizes.
Knotted Hat

They are sized at 0 to 3 months and are adjustable. They are made from 95% organic cotton certified and 5% elastane. Your baby will look adorable and be comfortable and warm.
