Speesees-Organic Clothing for the Modern Tot

Who: Speesees; San Francisco, CA

What: Onesies & Bibs

Why: With five nieces, I am constantly in search of fun kids clothes that are neither pink (although am currently losing out to their “everything must be pink phase”……), nor covered in Laura Ashley florals, nor emblazoned with princess appliqués, oh, and are not laced with chemicals. Thankfully there is Speesees!!

Speesees (“species” in baby talk-even the name is cute!) is a remarkable company both in design and eco-mindedness. They specialize in comfy cotton stylings in splashy color combinations with hip funky plant and animal prints. Perfect for the fashion forward tot! I mean, honestly, what could be cuter than a tyke toddling around in a seal pup onesie? Well, maybe, the picture of Obama hugging that adorable little boy……

The folks at Speesees are dedicated to making a product that is safe for the kids, safe for the people who make the garment and safe for the planet. They use 100% organic cotton, that is chemical free-no pesticides, no formaldehyde (a chemical commonly used to prevent stains and wrinkles in new clothing), no dioxins (a chemical commonly used to prevent mildew during transportation and storage of cotton) with low impact dyes, and pvc-free prints. Care is taken to ensure that even the snaps are safe for the little guys – all are nickel-free. Their factory has been certified as a fair and safe working environment by Social Accountability International.

The result, a great looking garment that is harm free. Spoiler alert for my friends who are expecting…….you’ll be receiving Speesees this year!
