Kids Organic Plant-dyed Leggings

The safest kid's clothing around - made with organic cotton and dyed with organic plants. These leggings are hand-dyed with GOTS certified organic madder root extract.

Unlike synthetic dyes, these naturally dyed leggings have natural color variations that add to their uniqueness and showcase the depth of colors inherent to plant dyes. These are not flaws, but reflect the natural variation and handmade nature of each pair of leggings.

Ethically designed, manufactured and dyed in Los Angeles.

Plastic and petroleum free. Made with GOTS certified organic cotton fabric, natural rubber elastic, organic cotton labels, and dyed with natural plant dyes. Good for you and the Earth.

The model is 1 year 9 months old, 33" tall, and wearing a size 18-24 months.

Unlike industry-standard petroleum-based dyes, these leggings are dyed with organic indigo leaves (blue), organic madder roots (purple), and organic avocado skins and seeds and madder roots (pink).

Indigo leaf dye has been safely used for thousands of years (dating back to 2000-3000 B.C.) for its ability to make strong and beautiful blues. In the 1800s, natural indigo was almost completely replaced by synthetic indigo, which is derived from the known toxin aniline - a chemical that has been used to make rocket fuel.

Avocados are super healthy for you and the seeds in particular are high in antioxidants, giving them anti-inflammatory properties.

Madder root is one of the oldest natural dyes, known for its ability to make beautiful reds. It has been safely used for thousands of years, since at least ancient Egypt (cloth dyed with it has even been found alongside the possessions of King Tut).

The fabric used in these leggings is GOTS certified, which, in additional to its strict environmental standards, also certifies that every company involved in the production of the fabric provides fair wages and safe working conditions.

This elastic is from a company that practices fair trade throughout its supply chain.

The leggings are manufactured in Los Angeles by a small company that likewise provides its workers safe working conditions and fair wages.

These leggings are made with GOTS certified organic cotton fabric, plant dyes and sewing thread. GOTS certification is the highest standard in organic. Every step - from the growing of the cotton, to final manufacture, is independently verified to be organic.

After manufacture, the leggings were locally dyed with plants. Plant dyes do not produce toxic run-off like conventional (and other organic dyes) and plant dyes remove carbon from the air during the plant’s growth, helping reverse the cause of global climate change.

The elastic at the band is 65% certified organic cotton and 35% natural rubber.

Machine wash on the gentle cycle using a mild, pH-neutral detergent and without fabric softeners. Tumble dry on low.
