Conventional clothes
marketing seems to be leading children away from ‘childhood’ and into a
fashion- conscious world not consistent with the needs of active little bodies.
At indigo goose we seek to provide beautiful, practical clothing that

itself.
Our clothing is made from
ecological and fair trade fabrics. All
aspects of our company from farming to processing to manufacturing through to
packaging are carefully researched. We
will constantly strive to reduce our footprint on the earth by using materials
and processes that are environmentally friendly.
We offer long-lasting and
timeless clothing that support reducing consumption. Our clothes are made to withstand the rigours
of childhood and we would like nothing more than to see them handed on to

water and use chemicals which are harmful to both the wearer and the
environment.

 It would be great if we
could produce these gorgeous clothes without affecting the environment, but of
course we can’t. The next best thing is
for us to identify the impact we are making so we can find ways to reduce it. We have therefore given a footprint rating to
each of our garments (affectionately known to us as the ‘goose print’).
