With COSH! we help you to make more sustainable choices for your child. From brands who produce in a more ethical way, organic materials, renting rompers or second-hand purchases: we have listed the best baby and children’s clothing in the Netherlands for you.
Rent baby clothes at Red Orka: a more sustainable ánd affordable way for a new wardrobe for your mini
Do you expect a child and are you worried about your baby outgrowing his or her clothes really fast? Then it might be smart to rent rompers from the Amsterdam label Red Orka! Founder Erik Ammann comes from a family where they have been working since 1957 on the best possible romper made of organic cotton. They now have their own factory in Romania where high-quality rompers are produced in a more ethical way. Their collection has been expanded and you can now also rent various more sustainable baby brands such as Maed for Mini, Mini Rodini and Tiny Cottons.
How does renting baby clothes work?
At Red Orka you have a subscription. For example, you will receive a set of rompers of your choice (with short or long sleeves or mixed), where you can choose from 4, 6 or 10 rompers in a certain size. Every time your baby has grown out of a romper, you will receive a new set of rompers in the right size. The returned rompers are professionally cleaned with high temperatures so that they are like new again for another baby.
You can also rent other baby clothes of various more sustainable brands per month. From nice onesies to winter coats to t‑shirts, you will find it in the Red Orka webshop. Why keep buying new clothes in larger sizes when you can also rent? By renting your baby clothes instead of buying them, you are assured that your mini has a nice wardrobe in a more sustainable and affordable way.
Buy beautiful second-hand baby clothes and resell them as soon as your baby has grown out of them
Did you know that babies triple their weight in their first year? As a result, they quickly need a larger size of clothing and the clothes hardly get the chance to wear out. Buying new clothes that are barely worn every time is not that sustainable!
Are you looking for convenience and do you want to contribute to a more sustainable world? Then the circular baby clothing from Babycircle is your solution! In this webshop you can buy the most beautiful pre-loved baby clothes for babies up to about 1 year old, because the sizes run up to size 80. From quality items under ten euros to the most beautiful cashmere suits, the range is large and carefully selected by founder Linde.
Have you bought something at Babycircle and has your baby already grown out of it? Then you can sell the clothes back to Babycircle within a year. You will receive up to 40% of your purchase amount back. This is easy and through your effort you contribute to the circular economy.
