I spotted Darlo on Twitter a few weeks ago and felt instantly compelled to get in touch. I love ethical, fairtrade and organic baby products - especially when they’re sensibly priced and accessible to parents with less means. All too often we see brands on a mission to save the environment, the poor and the disaster-stricken, yet charging £20 for a body cream, or £30 for a sleepsuit - as much as we believe in the cause, it’s simply not feasible to remortgage the house to help.

Darlo’s mission is to help malnourished children globally. Right now their core focus is India, and with every product purchased from their adorable baby clothes collection they’ll provide at LEAST one whole week’s worth of meals for a child in India. It’s simple, affordable and there’s no guilt-tripping going on here; just a very cute range of colourful organic baby lounge-wear with a conscience.

From vests, to sleepsuits, to adorable jogging bottoms, they have everything baby needs to chill out at home or snuggle up in bed. The muted palette is perfect for trendy boys and girls, and every skin tone. I plumped for coral and mint for Heidi and think she looks absolutely adorable.

At the moment, most styles are available in 0-3 months or 3-6 months, but the clothes are VERY generously sized. At 7 months, Heidi’s 3-6 month outfit still has plenty of growing room. Here she is modelling a pair of comfies (an organic cotton vest, pair of joggers, and a dribble catcher bib £29.99 - vest and joggers also sold separately for £11.99 and 13.99 respectively).

These have washed beautifully at 30 degrees and are exactly as soft as you would expect from an organic brand. Regular readers will know just how sensitive poor Heidi’s skin is, so given there are no nasty pesticides or chemicals used in Darlo’s clothes, it’s the perfect outfit to whack her in if she’s experiencing a flare up - it soothes her irritated skin and stops her itching.

There are also no inside labels to chafe her skin, and the branding on the neck of her vest and on her butt is super cute. There are faux pockets and a sweet drawstring waist on the joggers too; lovely little details that epitomise the love and care that have gone into each dinky outfit.

The pure cotton is produced by cotton farmers in India so brings in wages for the impoverished, who in turn, receive a fair wage and work in clean and safe factories. Darlo are also keen to stress that absolutely no child labour is used in any part of production process. This project isn’t about lining pockets, it’s about bringing hope to those in need.

With Christmas coming up, Band Aid in full flow, the ebola epidemic claiming lives, and Children in Need tugging at our heart strings, sometimes you just need to take a step back and realise how lucky you are. I promised myself I wasn’t going to rave on about the cause, so I’ll leave it at that. But if you are a grandparent, parent, aunty or uncle who’s been tasked with buying sleepwear this Christmas, do pop over to Darlo and consider a purchase.

To find out more, you can say hello on Twitter, Facebook, or Instagram - they’re a really nice bunch and would really appreciate your support.
