Leading children’s clothing company Frugi is on a mission to show the world that thoughtful design, sustainable clothing and accessories, and a passionate team can help change the world – putting people and the planet first in everything they do.

“Why is organic so important?” we hear you ask! Organic cotton is simply better for everyone, from the farmers who grow it to the little ones wearing it. With organic cotton, you won’t find any nasty chemicals that are in conventionally farmed cotton, and it’s better for the wildlife that calls organic farms home. Organic cotton is also much kinder to babies’ delicate skin, especially those who suffer from skin irritations such as eczema. Another fact Frugi love about organic cotton is that it's so much more durable so the clothes last and last so that they can be passed on between siblings and friends - sharing the Frugi love for generations!

GOTS is the leading standard for textiles made from organic fibres worldwide. It shows that Frugi commits to the highest level in environmental and social standards.

Frugi’s quality clothes are as fun as they are comfortable and practical and, most importantly, they are made to last with intelligent designs so that the clothes can be worn for longer. Clever features such as extendable straps, sleeves, and cuffs, allow the clothes to grow with the child and be passed down through generations. You can find a selection of reversible styles offering two outfits in one, ideal for quick changes and giving more choice in your little one's wardrobe.
