100% GOTS-certified organic cotton

You read the label on their food.
Have you read the one on their clothes?

Most kidswear is polyester, against their skin, all day. Ours is 100% organic cotton, with the GOTS label to prove it.

I don't care if you buy from us. Just start reading clothing labels.

Polyester is a synthetic fibre. It just doesn't look like one.

It goes by many names on a care label: polyester, nylon, acrylic, elastane or spandex, "microfibre", "performance blend". They are all petroleum-based synthetics, sitting against your child's skin all day.

  • Synthetic fibres trap heat and sweat instead of letting skin breathe.
  • They tend to hold on to odour, which is why some shirts still smell after a wash.
  • Many parents of kids with sensitive skin look for breathable natural fibres instead.
  • A care label has to list fibre content. It's the fastest thing on the garment to check.

Most parents can't tell the difference, until they read the label

Two dresses can look identical on a rack and be made of completely different things.

Questions parents ask us

How do I check a label myself?

Find the fibre content line on the care tag. If it says polyester, nylon, acrylic, elastane or spandex, in any percentage, that portion is synthetic.

Is "cotton-rich" or a 60/40 blend good enough?

It means part of the garment is synthetic. Ours are 100% organic cotton fabric, so there's nothing to work out.

Is organic cotton actually different to wear?

It breathes rather than trapping heat and moisture, which is the difference most parents notice first. Ours is also combed, for a smoother, softer yarn.

What does GOTS certified mean?

Every step from field to finished garment is independently certified and inspected every year, and the piece carries the GOTS label. See the full journey.

Does every piece come with the GOTS label?

Yes. Every Mom & Zoey piece is GOTS certified and comes with the GOTS label.

What are azo-free dyes?

Azo dyes are the class most commonly restricted in children's textiles. We don't use them.

What sizes do you make, and how do they fit?

Ages 2–6 only, with a relaxed, breathable fit. Check the size chart or use our Size Finder. Between sizes? Most parents size up for more wear.

Will it shrink?

Natural cotton can shrink slightly in a hot dryer. Wash cold, gently, and line dry to keep the fit. Full instructions on our Fabric Care page.

How do I wash it?

Cold, gentle cycle, mild detergent, no bleach, line dry. See Fabric Care.

Is it good for sensitive or eczema-prone skin?

Many parents of kids with sensitive skin look for breathable natural fibres and dyes without azo compounds, which is exactly how ours are made. Every child is different, so if your child has a skin condition, check with your paediatrician.

Do you make clothes for boys too?

Yes. Shirts, shorts and pants, many of them unisex. Shop boys’ shirts and boys’ bottoms.

Where are your clothes made?

Designed in Canada by a founder mom. Cut and sewn at our GOTS-certified partner factory in Tirupur, India, which is audited on-site every year.

Why does organic cost more than regular kidswear?

Certified organic farming, cotton kept separate at every step, approved dyes, yearly independent audits and small production runs. You're paying for a supply chain that can be checked, not just a word on a tag.

How does shipping work?

Free shipping across the USA. See our Shipping page for delivery times.

What if it doesn't fit or she doesn't love it?

60-day returns and easy exchanges on every order. Details in our Return Policy.
