Inspired by minimalism and nature, Babytoly is an environmentally conscious brand dedicated to the sustainable production of 100% organic cotton yarns in Anatolia - Turkey by women artisans.

Consuming fashion in a conscious way is the challenge of our generation, and as mothers and fathers, it is in our hands to start instilling a sustainable mentality in our children. The low-cost fashion industry and fast fashion have made us buy clothes in an impetuous and irresponsible way, hence many brands and firms join the concept of sustainable fashion and conscious fashion. In other words, the fashion world needs to be committed to producing timeless garments that, in the face of the speed of trends, are committed to quality designs and manufacturing that aim to outlast trends. There are many ways to collaborate with the care of the environment and one of them is to join the trend of ecological fashion for children. This initiative is based on the criteria of sustainability, equity, and rights, and believe it or not, it has transformed the textile industry.  

  It’s a fact that children's clothing has a very short life span: garments outgrow very quickly, and this generates a huge environmental impact. It’s possible to have comfortable and environmentally responsible children's clothing. In fact, it's better. Natural materials are beneficial for children's delicate skin, fabrics made with fibers extracted from plants are more natural and allow the skin to breathe better. Babytoly is 100% organic cotton yarn, and GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standards) certified. The cotton used for its production is free of pesticides and artificial fertilizers. It is an Eco-Friendly, breathable, hypo-allergenic, and non-mercerized yarn, ideal for making hand-knitted baby clothes and crocheted dolls. Its freshness and softness make it a suitable fiber to give life to apparel design. Brands that purchase Babytoly yarn, not only receive a certified high-quality product, but also support wildlife conservation, the environment, and women's empowerment by supporting many women heads of households. Its 100% Organic Cotton is appropriate for newborn skin. It’s super soft, natural, and completely free from harmful chemicals. The brand’s yarns are completely GOTS Certified and made from the finest quality organic cotton fibers through sustainable production methods with adherence to GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) Organic standards.  

  Organic Cotton: What is it? Also known as organic cotton, this type of cotton is guaranteed because it is grown without pesticides, bleached without the use of chlorine, and dyed without bromide (but only with dyes free of heavy metals and carcinogens). It is less polluting, safer for the workers who produce it, and softer for the wearer. For this reason, organic cotton is increasingly used in garments and accessories for early childhood. Eco-friendly fashion has environmental and socio-cultural components and its purpose is to manufacture garments with raw materials, through ecological processes. Therefore, in addition to being beautiful, they have the added value of being respectful of children's skin. In order to obtain GOTS certification, manufacturers must carry out a verification process on the manufacturing, manufacturing and marketing processes of the garments. In this way, GOTS labeling guarantees that the textile is truly organic.
