Eco Fashion

Eco Fashion and sustainable design are growing in Berlin and gaining international interest. Many companies and networks based in Berlin are focusing on sustainability. And more and more consumers are preferring products manufactured in an eco-friendly way!
Start the year off right by making a change in your clothing preferences and choose GREEN!

Eco fashion is made with the environment in mind, making the toxic footprint smaller. Organic cotton and hemp are crops that make great fabrics, but also are used to eliminate the need for chemicals at the farm. Wild silk, bamboo, Tencel, organic wool, and recycled fabric are all improvements over most synthetic and conventional materials.
Color-grown cotton and naturally colored clothing require no dye chemicals at all. And even using fabric dyed with low impact dyes substantially cuts down on the volume of chemical waste resulting from the dye process.
Certified fair trade and sweatshop-free companies eliminate the abuse of people for clothing production. And also, when you live in the USA, buying Made in USA and USA Cotton cuts down on shipping pollution and supports local workers.

GreenEdge Kids offers what we think is the best and largest selection out there of organic cotton, hemp, bamboo, Tencel, made in USA, fair trade, and otherwise sustainable or eco-friendly children's clothing - so you don't have to search all over the place to get your kids to look good, feel good, and be green!

We, as buyers, are in control of the demand. When we choose to buy eco-friendly kids' clothing, we shift the demand to sustainable children's clothing, promote change, and reduce the impact on our environment.
