At louloudi.nl we make all our baby and children's clothing by hand in our studio in Gouda. Instead of mass production, we pay personal attention to each item, resulting in sustainable clothing that lasts longer. The clothing is not only beautiful and practical, but also a conscious choice for a more sustainable future for your little one.
Slow Fashion: Sustainable and Responsible
Unlike fast fashion, which is known for cheap, quickly produced clothing that often doesn’t last, slow fashion focuses on quality, ethics and sustainability. According to research by the Fashion Revolution movement, the fashion industry is the second largest polluter in the world, after the oil industry. Fast fashion encourages overconsumption, which leads to enormous amounts of waste and poor working conditions in factories worldwide. In addition, cheaper fabrics are often made from synthetic materials that are harmful to the environment and babies’ skin.
Louloudi.nl: Sustainable and Transparent
At louloudi.nl we offer transparency about where our products come from and what materials we use. The baby and children's items we make are made of natural, breathable fabrics that are safe and comfortable for your child's sensitive skin. By choosing handmade fashion, you know exactly where your clothes come from, who makes them and how they are produced.
Our handmade clothing also offers room to grow: thanks to smart fit, the items remain suitable for your little one for longer. This contributes to a more sustainable use of clothing, which is both economically and ecologically beneficial. According to The Ellen MacArthur Foundation, extending the lifespan of clothing by 9 months can reduce the environmental footprint of that clothing by as much as 20-30%.
Why Slow Fashion for Your Baby?
Babies and children often have sensitive skins that thrive better on natural, breathable fabrics. Slow fashion ensures that clothing is not only good for the environment, but also for your baby's health. The synthetic fabrics that are often used in fast fashion can contain harmful substances that can be irritating to your baby's sensitive skin. By choosing sustainable baby clothing from Louloudi.nl, you choose healthy, safe materials that have been carefully selected and produced with attention.
