We started as a 100% cashmere brand, but after life with our two mucky pups of our own - Mika and Milo - we were inspired to think bigger. Watching them roll around in paint, jump up and down in muddy puddles, and embrace every messy adventure that life throws at them made us realize that kids need clothes as resilient as they are.
That’s why, we have moved into a hard-wearing, everyday collection made from machine-washable organic cotton and cashmere. It’s perfect for park playdates, tree-climbing expeditions, and woodland adventures—without any of the fuss.
We want kids to be real kids, free to explore, create, and get messy. After all, childhood flies by in the blink of an eye, and it should be filled with all the mucky, joyful chaos that makes it so special.
Our new organic cotton-cashmere blend is designed for real life. Spilled ketchup during a fish-finger session? No problem. Just pop it in the wash on a cool, delicate cycle, and it’s ready for another day of play.
While MIKA & MILOis not yet GOTS certified, our yarn supplier very much is. That means that over 95%of the organic cotton that we use meets the highest global standards.
Better for the Planet:
Organic cotton uses far less water than conventional cotton—saving up to 20,000 liters per kilogram (that’s 20,000 Evian bottles!).
It releases nearly 50% less carbon emissions, helping to reduce your family’s carbon footprint.
Better for People:
It’s pesticide-free, protecting farmers’ health and keeping their water supplies clean.
Farmers are paid fair wages and work under ethical conditions.
Better for Little Ones:
Organic cotton is softer, more durable, and gentler on sensitive skin.
Investing in well-made, organic fashion isn’t just about dressing your child—it’s about investing in their future and the planet they will inherit. Organic cotton’s durability means that it can be passed down from sibling to sibling, cousin to cousin, and even generation to generation.
Isn’t it better to buy less, choose well, and create a legacy of sustainability? We certainly think so.
As a former climate writer and a parent to Mika (9) and Milo (7), our founder understands how overwhelming the climate crisis can feel. But as the Chinese philosopher Lao Tzu once said:
“A journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.”
Every small choice we make—like choosing sustainable fashion—helps move the needle forward. In the words of Martin Luther King Jr:
“We are all caught in an inescapable network of mutuality, tied into a single garment of destiny.”
And, nowhere is this more poignant than the planet which we all call home. After all, our children, and the Earth they will inherit, deserve nothing but the best!
