There’s no planet B

There’s no planet B

The fashion industry has a bad reputation for wasteful practices. Here at La Baby Bodega we are continually strive to be more sustainable in all that we do. We believe in continuous and conscientious innovation. This means constantly trying to find new ways to reduce our carbon footprint & support other local UK businesses. Listed below are some of the factors we consider when producing our handmade products:
-Our mail bags are purchased from label with love.co and they are made from high quality materials to protect from weather, rips or tears and are fully recyclable. 
- All of the fabric we purchase is made and printed in the UK. Although the prices of fabric tend to be higher when UK made some of the benefits are 
  • No import charges or duties 
  • Quicker turn around time 
  • No requirement to hold stock or order in bulk therefore less fabric wastage
  • Enhancing UK economy by buying local

- The materials we order are ethically sourced and bought from UK trusted mills where possible, helping the local economy and reducing our carbon footprint.  100% of the Mills our printers work with use are REACH accredited, and many also hold SEDEX accreditation.

- The printing process used on the material is the most eco-friendly possible making this not only sustainable but best for sensitive skin. No more harmful chemicals or silicone wash, this way the colours will last longer and it’s kind to your little ones skin. 

-2024 we have switched our delivery supplier from Royal Mail to Evri as they are have the lowest carbon emission of any dedicated parcel delivery company in the UK and they’re  growing the biggest sustainable fleet in the industry due to their ongoing investment in technology and exploration of alternative fuels.

- All of the steps that we take are in order to try and reduce fast fashion. We understand that handmade clothing can become expensive but we are always thinking of new ways to save you some money. One of these way is to support you reselling La Baby Bodega items. If you have recently resold an old item of clothing from us using a reselling platform such as vinted or eBay please send us a picture of your listing or receipt and you will receive 10% off your next order. 

Thanks so much for taking the time to read & supporting our business.
