Cosy Organic is sustainable, slow fashion childrenswear. We focus on plant dye to create colour in our designs
Audrey Bate founded Cosy Organic in 2021, with the aim to create classic designs and colours that are 100% natural. Audrey’s journey into organic and sustainable textiles began when her daughter developed severe eczema. As a result, Audrey began experimenting with natural materials such as organic cotton and linen to create her designs. The softness, flexibility and movement of the fabric were extremely important, as this would be next to her daughter’s skin.
“Children wear clothes completely differently to adults, so it is important that the fabric we choose in our designs is breathable, flexible and kind next to sensitive skin.”
Audrey is very enthusiastic about using organic cotton and linen to create her designs and often states the importance of being informative about what you put next to your skin.
“I love working with organic linen - it is such a beautiful and interesting fabric. When it is cold, the inter-fibres contract preventing the air from escaping and allowing your body to warm it up. When it is warm, the inter-fibres expand allowing the air to escape and keep your body cool.”
The colours that you see in Audrey’s designs have been created using plant extracts. This is a timely and gentle process with amazing results and 100% natural. From the beginning, her aim was to create vibrant colours that were kind to the skin and worked in harmony with the environment.
As interest grew regarding Audrey’s designs, she decided to create her own bedding and clothing collection with the focus that each garment was kind to both skin and environment, comfortable to wear, unique and timeless!
