Eco-Friendly Maternity Clothes

 
With the plethora of cozy fabrics and vibrant colors, eco-friendly maternity fashion is on the cutting edge. Here are a few of our favorite finds...
 

 

pure t

Made from modal, a sustainable fabric, and colored with natural vegetable dyes, these graphic tees are great to throw on when you’re having a casual jeans day but want just a touch of edginess. In addition, pure t makes organic nursing tops that come with their own “cover,” which actually looks like part of the shirt. Genius! And this company is so green, even their tags are 100% recycled.

Schone

Schone (meaning “clean beauty” in Dutch) is cutting edge in so many ways, the most impressive one being how “non-maternity” their clothes are. Who wouldn’t wear these adorable pieces on an every day basis, pregnant or otherwise? And even better news for eco-mamas... all the clothes are hand-sewn using eco fabrics (bamboo, hemp, and organic cotton, to name a few) in a fair labor, family-owned-and-operated facility. And when your pregnancy is over, you can send your gently worn clothes back to Schone, where they will clean and repair them before donating them to Momma's House, a nonprofit that helps young mothers. Wow, talk about putting your money where your mouth is!

Belly Bandit

We at The Cradle consider the Belly Bandit a postpartum wardrobe staple. While it may just look like a simple band, it multitasks like nobody’s business! Just a few of its functions - helps lose inches faster, aids in minimizing stretch marks, accelerates the healing process for C-sections, improves posture, and provides support for breastfeeding. And the Bandit girls have recently gone green, introducing this awesome bamboo version of the original.

Boob

This Swedish company, which based on their name, clearly has a great sense of humor, has created the greatest thing ever - a flattering, comfortable, 98% organic, skinny jean for pregnant gals. Featuring a great dark wash and adjustable elastic inside the waistband, you’ll find yourself never wanting to wear anything else... except one of Boob’s organic cotton tees, of course!

Bravado Design

The new essential nursing tank with Bamboo from the already fabulous Bravado line is a real find. Besides the fact that Bamboo is the greenest material around (no pesticides are used to grow it), it is also soft as can be, antibacterial, and a great moisture wicker. Though this cami is meant for nursing, it’s also great during pregnancy, as it has a built-in bra (sizes go all the way up to G). Bravo for Bravado!
