Luxuriously soft and incredibly warm, this reversible, back-zip hoodie is simply perfect. Because it can be worn two different ways (with either side out), it is two sweaters in one. This great feature also allows the length of time between washes to be extended because the sweater can simply be turned inside out when spills happen.
Your little person will be warm for sure in this hoodie and the colour combinations are adorable and stylish. These hoodies are made from 100% baby alpaca, a hypoallergenic and highly sustainable material. Fairly traded.
Oeuf, a New York based design company, was a pioneer of fair trade and eco-friendly products long before it was fashionable to do so. Oeuf’s knits are produced by and fairly traded with a group of Bolivian artisans, who are among some of the poorest people in South America, giving them hope and income. Oeuf maintains close relationships with their farmers and knitters, and works with community-based organizations to ensure that the workers not only earn living wages, but also have their cultural traditions honored and respected.
What is fair trade? It is all about making sure that products exported internationally from “developing” countries to “developed” countries are produced under fair conditions. That means promoting the payment of fair prices, safe and healthy working conditions and responsible environmental practices. Fair trade is important because if workers are not being paid fairly, we are indirectly taking advantage of people just so we can have what we want. Imagine having to work over 8 hours a day in an unsafe and filthy factory. Not so nice is it? Just something to think about when you shop.
And besides being staunch believers in fair trade, Oeuf has made it its mission to ensure environmentally sound products starting with the choice of materials to the manufacturing processes to the selection of recycled packaging.. |
