Sweet Spud Launches Organic Baby Apparel Collection

Sweet Spud Launches Organic Baby Apparel Collection

Sweet Spud has launched their new collection of organic cotton infant clothing featuring eco-minded designs and enlightening quotes. Proudly made in the USA, the collection includes infant bodysuits, yoga style pants, and knot caps in sizes newborn to 18 months. Sweet Spud’s eco-friendly apparel is reasonably priced from $13 to $24 at www.sweetspud.com.

Sweet Spud also offers gift sets ideal for green baby showers, and all orders are “gift ready” with eco-friendly packaging. In an industry inundated with eco-conscious baby products, the creators of Sweet Spud noticed a void. Co-founders Marlena Frank and Audrey Lawton conceptualized their company to serve with greater intent; they sought to spread messages of love and wisdom with their organic baby clothes.

“Babies represent the beauty and promise of life in its beginning stages, a point from which anything is achievable,” said Frank. “When people look at babies in our clothing, we want to remind them of that.”

A few examples of inspiring and fitting quotes on Sweet Spud bodysuits include: “Sleep is the best meditation.” by the Dalai Lama and “I want freedom for the full expression of my personality.” by Gandhi.

Staying true to its mission, Sweet Spud created garments that are made entirely in the U.S. of organic Texas cotton. Organic cotton is grown and processed without the harmful chemicals found in conventional cotton and has become a popular choice for parents today. Sweet Spud completes its “green” manufacturing with an eco-friendly screen-printing process that includes water-based, PVC-free ink. This process ensures that the integrity of their organic product is not compromised.

From soil to shelf, Sweet Spud’s products are true to the Earth. Co-founders Frank and Lawton have been best friends since their days as college roommates. Lawton is an interior designer from North Falmouth, Massachusetts, and Frank is a counselor and mother of two from Sea Bright, New Jersey.
