Description Merle say: Merle Kids’ dresses are perfect for playing and twirling in! The skater skirts are knee length and have invisible pockets, because we all know how important pockets are! Since our labels are printed right on the inside of the fabric, children with sensitive skin won’t have to deal with scratchy label. Beneath its mirror-like surface, the ocean is a complex world in itself, invisible to most of us. I wanted to capture some of the magic and wonder of this important ecosystem in this design. It features a coral reef with beautiful shells, colourful fish and a large octopus that is sure to be the highlight! Merle Kids’ handmade products are made of 100% organic cotton in a Portuguese factory. They are super comfortable and practical. The designs are suitable for all kids! I never consider what is “boyish” or “girly”because I believe that there is no such thing and that children should just be children and wear what they like! Thus, Merle Kids products can be called “unisex”, “gender neutral”, “gender-free”… I just say they’ re for all kids! Yes, even the dresses! Organic Cotton All Merle Kids products are made from organic cotton. This is the obvious choice – it protects the environment and thus the future of our planet, the production line workers and, last but not least, the delicate skin of your child. Organic fibres are natural fibres grown without the use of harmful synthetic pesticides, herbicides and GMOs (genetically modified organisms) according to the principles of organic farming. Strict criteria must also be met when processing, dyeing and printing these fibres. The Villar Portugal-based manufacture that produces Merle Kids’ goods has been certified organic (GOTS) since its founding in 2013, as is the entire supply chain. They have always been focused on avoiding harmful substances and treating their employees fairly. As a small company, Merle is not yet GOTS certified.
