Junior Cert and GOTS Cert.

The children are settling back into the new term and their various group activities are gathering momentum. On the academic front we get a reprieve from end-of-year state exams in our household - Yippee. Our eldest son sat his Junior Cert in June and our second son will sit his Junior Cert in June 2017 so no 'study talks' or 'student time-management talks' this year for me - nothing like an exam-tethered child to keep you on tenterhooks in the kitchen, making sure that every corner of their nutritional needs are met - glad to have a break from it!

Studio news - Our new prints will be in shortly which I am really excited about. I am also close to having our range GOTS certified as well as it's current Oek-o-tex certification label. As all of our products are 100% organic cotton we fall into the category of a GOTS cert. This is just fantastic as our ethical and sustainable commitment is of up-most importance to us.

The upstream manufacturing process in the fashion industry is wrought with abusive practices in the farming industry and dying industry which are destroying our natural resources at the rate of knots. Sweat-shops in Bangladesh and other countries are in abundance; young workers are robbed of their health and education whilst spending cripplingly long hours huddled over sewing machines in poor light. I am proud to be working towards ensuring that our products have a lower impact on the environment, and that the people making our products are healthy and paid fairly.

Here are a few photo-reminders of our gorgeous Swallow print which will be back in stock shortly.
