Momokos is a brand that cares - about the people, the planet and our future generation.
Momokos is more than a brand; it’s a heartfelt journey that transcends mere clothing. During my pregnancy and sabbatical, I discovered the troubling realities of fast fashion, where big brands prioritize quantity over quality, often at the expense of workers in developing countries who face poor wages and unfavorable conditions.This realization deeply affected me and fueled my determination to create a brand committed to ethical practices. I decided to work exclusively with manufacturers who respect and fairly compensate their workers.
My support for organic cotton stems from its numerous benefits:
- Healthier for Farmers: Farmers are not exposed to harmful chemicals like insecticides and pesticides, making it safer for them and their families.
- Safer for Expecting Women: Without exposure to toxic chemicals, it’s a safer option even for expecting women working in the fields.
- Gentle on Sensitive Skin: The absence of harsh chemicals reduces the risk of skin irritations and allergies, making it ideal for infants with sensitive skin.
- Personal Experience: Having suffered from eczema as a baby and being sensitive to synthetic fabrics, I am even more convinced of the importance of eco-friendly and ethical kidswear.
Thus, Momokos was born – a brand dedicated to providing organic, trendy, locally, and ethically produced kidswear. Our name, Momokos, a blend of “Momo” (peach) and “Ko” (child) in Japanese, embodies the tender care we pour into every stitch. In Asian tradition, peaches signify the vitality of life and new beginnings.
As your baby blossoms, our commitment to providing garments that cradle both their skin and the planet strengthens.
