Get Yer All-American, Organic Kids Clothes From Montana
One of the most frequently lampooned images of American excess is parents splurging on and accessorizing their children. Clothing, especially, has drawn the ire of critics -- a great deal of it is produced overseas, where very few factories can operate under environmental standards and labor conditions comparable to those in the United States.So where are eco-conscious parents to look when it's time clothe their toddlers? No further than upstart Montana-based clothier Swell Foop. The company has delivered American-made, organic clothing to all but four states.
Designs feature indigenous and endangered Western species, from the American bison to the grey wolf. The company guarantees that no pesticides or other farming chemicals entered the ecosystem in order to make your child's T-shirt. And Swell Foop donates 10 percent of its proceeds to environmentally oriented non-profits each year, including the Earth Island Institute and American Wildlands.
