Parents are very aware of the importance of choosing children's clothing that is made with fair trade practices in mind while also giving kids a fun way to show off their adorable personalities. For many families just beginning to explore the world of kid's clothes, heritage textiles are a new concept. Essentially, clothing collections made from heritage textiles are created using ancient traditional practices to hand dye and weave gorgeous materials that are then turned into clothing.

Each item made from heritage textiles is one-of-a-kind. When such artistic by-hand methods as kalamkari and ikat are utilized, not two items will ever be exactly alike. Benefits to these specialized fabric dying processes include long lasting color with dyes that are naturally extracted from sources such as plants, minimizing the risk of aggravating allergies.

Kids who wear these outfits can have the benefit of learning that it is possible to have a beautiful wardrobe that preserves traditional arts and promotes ethical practices. It helps them understand caring for the environment through using sustainable and organic materials.

There are other heritage textile positives that go beyond attractive patterning.

Families should also love knowing that the fair trade agreement means that every step of the process from the growing and picking of the cotton to the artisan dying is set up to help support the communities in the countries that are involved. All artisans are fairly compensated, and there is an emphasis on sustainability.

Considering the products used to create the garments one purchase is important. There are cheaper options available but selecting ones that send a positive message by promoting fair work conditions and traditional arts, can benefit start a ripple of change in the world.
