Dress plankton (12y)
You are one of the top shelf(ton)!
Phytoplankton are microscopic organisms, such as bacteria and algae, that account for most of the primary oxygen production and form the basis of the underwater food chain. Together with zooplankton, such as one-eyed crustaceans, larvae and jellyfish, they provide balance in a giant ecosystem. What a team! Get carried away by this dress and enjoy the planktonic love!
Svaha was founded by two women who worked at American ThinkGeek and who, after becoming mothers, noticed that there is very little in the mainstream range of children's clothing for children who do not quite fit into the traditional gender pattern. Why are there no clothes for girls with astronauts or other scientific themes? Why aren't there clothes for boys with cats or butterflies on them? They decided to do something about it, and in 2015 Svaha was founded to break gender stereotypes in children's clothing.
Svaha totally fits the Fairy Positron picture: quality clothing, ecologically made (they work with ecological dyes and almost every piece is made from organic cotton), honestly made from farmer to sewer, practical (dresses with pockets, hello!) and mostly unisex. The prints are all STEAM-inspired(Science, Technology, Engineering, Arts, Mathematics) and often have a high nerd content. Our kids already love them!
Thanks to their background in the garment industry, the women already had good contacts with reliable manufacturers. Most of the clothing is made in India, in the workshop of a friend of founder Jaya (who herself grew up in India) that maintains the highest ethical standards, such as minimum "living wages," whichis more than a minimum wage, which is not always livable), no child labor, a safe working environment and no overtime. During the lockdown, technically unemployed personnel also received their wages.
Update: Due to rising cotton prices, Svaha has temporarily switched to conventional cotton instead of organic cotton. As a result, you will notice that some of the new Svaha clothing is made of regular cotton. The clothing is still ethically produced from the field to the sewing studio and still colored with ecological dyes. We hope to have new organic Svaha clothes back in stock as soon as possible.
