Bonkeli, a family run design company based in Sweden, is offering a limited edition range of clothes for kids with a collection of t shirts and baby accessories made entirely out of compostable materials, the clothes being certified as Cradle-to-Cradle.
The Cradle-to-Cradle design concept is based upon the idea of making products that fit into the life-cycle of nature. By using only bio-degradable materials like cotton and wool, no poisonous waste materials are produced.
The print on the baby clothes are sweet but we simply adore the Cloud shirt as shown in the picture, with lovely playful design in simple colours made of the softest organic cotton.
We are very much looking forward to be following the work of Hanna och Jeppe Larsen, both within fashion design and new ways of protecting our environment. www.bonkelidesign.se
The baby line is available in the UK at the charity concept online store Big Blue Cuddle, a store that offers a whole new concept where designers offers their surplus stock to Big Blue Cuddle, you can purchase the clothes for recommended retail price and then up to 50% off the price will be donated to a charity, chosen by you. easy-peasy-lemon-squeezy
Thanks for the post! Just wanted to say that the collection isn´t certified, but the materials are c2c-optimized by cradle to cradle-founder Michael Braungart (same person that certifies). Still they are compostable and organically grown! Read article below for more info:
