As customers become more aware about the disadvantages of clothes made from artificial materials and about garment companies that take advantage of their employees, more people are choosing to purchase affordable, naturally made clothes. A lot of parents are choosing to buy non artificial clothes for their kids. You can find children's clothing in Southern California from a store that specializes in producing clothes made using traditional materials.

The clothes are made out of cotton, silk and wool. They have been designed using ancient Indian cloth making methods. This includes the Kalam or in full Kalamkari method, where a pen is used. There are 17 steps involved in this method. The clothes are colored using natural dyes that have been obtained from plants and natural metals. They are then decorated using plants, seeds and squeezed flowers. A natural mordant is then used to fasten the colors, to prevent them from fading when the clothes are being washed.

Hand block-printing allows patterns to be transferred onto fabric. Using separate blocks for each color, wood is carved into the desired pattern. After a block is painted, it is pressed down onto the fabric to transfer the image. Colors are applied one at a time, and the garment is dried before a new color is presented.

To come up with different designs and colors, Ikat is used. Threads are binded and then paint applied on the non covered areas of the thread. The bindings are then removed and the threads are then woven into cloth. This forms a pattern on the cloth.

This store in Southern California uses organically grown cotton to make their clothes. Fertilizers, pesticides and GMO seeds were not used on the cotton when it was growing. Since crop rotation is practiced on the ground where the cotton is grown, the soil used is healthy and doesn't have pests.

Fair trade products are sold at prices that cover production expenses while providing a sustainable livelihood for producers. There is no forced labor. Farming co-operatives can develop relationships with buyers. Trade profits fund community-wide initiatives to improve the lives of workers. Consumers uphold conscientious production practices by buying fair trade items.

You can find children's clothing in Southern California from a reliable company that sells high-quality, ethically produced apparel.
