Hankettes Organic Cotton Products Help You Ditch All Kinds of Disposables

Heather Dunham — Thu, 30 Apr 2009 11:00:06 +0000

Hankettes began in 1996 as a small home business in the founders’ attic, making simple handkerchiefs out of organic cotton. Today, they make and sell some of the greatest in reusable “green” products out there. And there’s now much more than just handkerchiefs!

What makes Hankettes so great? There isn’t a single aspect of “green” production that they’ve missed. All their products are hand-sewn. The cloth is all organically-grown cotton. Coloured fabrics are either colour-grown or hand-dyed with fiber reactive dyes. Production is all local, along the Sunshine Coast in British Columbia, Canada. It’s still at heart a small family business. Their practices are transparent. Their website links to “green” information, resources, and even competitors. And the family itself is a homesteading, homeschooling, compost toileting role model, that truly walks the walk. They are proof positive that sustainable and ethical business practices can be successful.

Our business truly reflects our lives and enhances the lives of our environmentally conscious customers around the world who purchase our natural based products.

Organic Baby Bedding, Sheets and Tees: Coyuchi

Oh, how I love the whole line of soft organic cotton goodies from Coyuchi.

What is Coyuchi? Coyuchi is the Mexican Spanish name for the naturally-occurring brown cotton used for centuries by native peoples of the Americas. And they make a beautiful line of organic cotton bedding, sleepwear, towels, and adorable blankets, shams, and t-shirts for baby’s room. All of their products are made from organically grown cotton and finished without any chemicals, solvents, or resins.

I was lucky enough to receive the Jingo sham from them. It has a cute little giraffe hand embroidered on the pillow case, perfect for a toddler or child’s bed. Coyuchi has themes of little critters to help you decorate your babies’ nursery in organic cotton goodness. The creatures include Jingo the giraffe, George the monkey (of course!), and Thor the elephant. The blankets are hand stitched with animal scenes that are beautiful and adorable. They also offer the baby wear without any designs if you already have a theme or want to keep it simple.
