In a world where conscious consumerism is gaining momentum, more parents are turning to brands that prioritize thoughtful fabric selection. At Pedal, most of our fabrics are locally-sourced – a testament to the strength of partnerships that empower and sustain the vibrant culture around us. Let’s explore why making the switch to thoughtfully sourced cotton is not only good for your kids, but also good for the planet:

Gentle on Sensitive Skin: Organic cotton is grown without the use of synthetic pesticides, fertilizers, or genetically modified organisms (GMOs). This means that clothing made from organic cotton is less likely to cause skin irritation or allergic reactions, making it perfect for children with sensitive skin or conditions like eczema. Our selection of certified organic cotton T-Shirts are crafted from cotton grown using natural methods, ensuring that your child’s clothing is safe and comfortable to wear.

Environmentally Friendly: We source our low-impact cotton from farms that are designed to minimize environmental impact. By avoiding synthetic chemicals and promoting biodiversity, this style of cotton cultivation helps preserve soil health, conserve water, and protect ecosystems. Building partnerships with local cotton vendors also enables us to build connections within our community and reduce our environmental impact. Learn more about our commitment to sustainability on our website.

Durable and Long-Lasting: Our cotton fabrics are designed to withstand repeated washings and retain their softness and shape over time, making it a sustainable choice for your child’s wardrobe. We know that kids can be rough on their clothes, so we design them to endure endless adventure. Our Corduroy Pants and Chino Pants are crafted from stretch cotton designed to keep up with kids on-the-go.

By making mindful choices in the clothing we buy, we can create a brighter future for our children and the planet they’ll inherit. Choose Pedal for your kid’s clothing and embrace natural, sustainable fashion.
