It's never too late to start shopping with a conscience. So we've found all the best stores in Singapore where you can shop eco-friendly fashion for kids.
We’ve said this before, and we’ll say it again: going green is the best thing we can do for Mother Earth. It may not be easy, but we can certainly play our part, from our clothing choices to our consumption of food. Switching to organic food isn’t just sustainable; it’s healthy too! And any leftovers can be put to use at food banks. But, back to the fun stuff: fashion. There are ways to shop for clothes responsibly, such as swapping instead of shopping. But if second-hand shopping just isn’t for you, check out these sustainable clothes for kids in Singapore that are both eco-friendly and fashionable. Don’t forget to also donate old clothes when the kids have grown out of them!
Where to buy sustainable clothing for kids in Singapore
1. The Plush Club
When shopping for sustainable clothes for kids in Singapore, you can’t go past The Plush Club! This brand is re-inventing baby essentials with the cutest prints and the softest fabrics. Best of all, by utilising bamboo cotton blends, the brand is committed to saving water (there’s a counter on their website of how much water they save!). The Plush Club is also ensuring no pesticides are used in their production line. What else do we love? You can create your own gift set for a mama-to-be!

What is MulGlee? In this beautiful homegrown brand’s own words, “MulGlee is a slow fashion brand offering handmade, elegant and fun dresses for little girls in breathable cotton and linen fabrics.” Sounds perfect for our humid Singaporean weather!

4. Nimbu
This homegrown brand is all about sustainable clothes for kids in Singapore. It does that via collaborative consumption, which in turn aims to significantly slow down fast fashion. How? When your child has outgrown a Nimbu piece, you can exchange it for the next size up with a discount to boot! This policy is dependent on the condition of the outfit being returned as well as a percentage of the current outfit.

5. Bluealmond
This gorgeous homegrown brand has children at its heart. In the words of the founders: “At Bluealmond, we will always put children first. Here, we bring together clothing choices that will last for multiple lifecycles and are minimalistic and comfortable in design for your little ones to be their true selves. No fire engines, or princesses, just soft-tone coloured prints that are easy to mix and match. Here, we encourage circulating our products amongst siblings, friends and other children to minimise our impact on the environment. We work only with partners who share our beliefs on the environment, quality products and design philosophy.” Sounds amazing to us!

But did you know there’s also an organic selection of sleepwear and muslin swaddles? The company truly believes in using only choice fabrics to create safe and comfortable products that children will want to wear daily and can last for generations. So if you’re looking for sustainable clothes for kids in Singapore, you can let your kids rest easy knowing Le Petit Society is doing its bit for the environment.
