New Organic Bamboo Baby Clothing – Nuumi on Kanga Organics

You cannot believe just how soft these organic bamboo baby clothing can be, until you get your hands on them!

Kanga Organics brings you for the first time a luxurious organic bamboo collection from Nuumi!

Nuumi was created by two sisters who believe that eco-friendly lifestyle products should look and feel fantastic.  We create clothing and products made from sustainable materials.  We’re not here to save the world, but we believe that everyone can do just a small part to make a collective difference – and look great doing it too!

Straight from the streets–or rather, bamboo forests–of Asia, we bring our luxury clothing and products made from ultra-soft, eco-friendly bamboo.  We hope you love our pieces as much as we do!

Being a mother is no easy task!  Endless feedings and nappy changes.  Constant questions about what to do.  Fumbling around at night with buttons and zippers that never seem to work.  We’ve been there.

Nuumi is designed by mothers, for mothers.  Our bamboo baby clothes are not only soft, comfortable and stylish, but designed to be simple and fuss-free.  Plus, all the wonderful hypoallergenic and antibacterial properties of bamboo fabric make it a natural fit for babies’ sensitive skin.

Wrap your baby in Nuumi – Modern designs for the eco-chic baby.  Nuumi now available online on Kanga Organics with limited pieces only!  Grab while stocks lasts!

Look out for our next organic cotton collection arriving soon from Bornsage too!  East meets west inspiration, just perfect for that Eurasian baby of mixed parentage!
