happygreenbee Organic Clothing Review

In addition to being unique in design, happygreenbee is also unique in the way their clothing is manufactured. The company is committed to fair trade practices, which means they are committed to providing the best employment conditions for workers. They also use organic cotton in their clothing, which happygreenbee says “is healthy for all our planet’s creatures, from children and wildlife to farm and factory workers.” In addition, they use 100% post consumer recycled buttons.


This commitment to quality labor practices and material, however, does impact the cost of these adorable clothes. The lazy environmentalist question then comes into play here: Is it worth the extra cost to purchase organic materials and support fair labor practices? Truth is, the price of these clothes is right on target with (if not lower than) the full-price items found at Baby Gap and The Children’s Place. While I want to be thrifty, I especially love the idea of supporting a company that is committed to fair trade is has a business philosophy that is about more than the bottom line. 


happygreenbee says this about supporting companies that choose fair trade practices: “By making informed purchase decisions, that is, by choosing to buy products that are manufactured in safe, clean environments, you can help raise the standard of living for everyone. Your sense of well-being, enhanced by the knowledge that your buying behavior is characterized by fairness and integrity, elevates the quality of your life in a manner that cheap consumer good can never replace!”

happygreenbee kindly sent our family a  pumpkin/butterscotch/chocolate/bean stripe cardigan in large to try. The style and colors of this cardigan would work for both a boy and a girl. Ella is wearing it for now and I love the way it looks on her! I thought she might need an XL, but there is actually room for her to grow in the large. I loved the bold stripes and she was enamored with the sweet detail of the multi-colored buttons.


At $28, I think a cardigan that is well made, adorable, and will work for multiple children, boy and girl, is a surprising value! Many of their clothes could be used in this way and even a ruffled shirt or sweet dress is sure to last through multiple children. In my mind, this versatility, combined with the ability to easily purchase goods that support fair labor, definitely meets the lazy environmentalist test!
