Sustainable Kidswear: Dressing Little Ones with Love and Care

Our Design and Development Process

All Ohmybebe items are designed by our team in our India head office. Every Ohmybebe piece is developed with durability and care in mind and is closely monitored for quality control throughout the supply chain. This ensures that we not only maintain compliance with relevant Indians and international standards, but that we also meet the high standards of our valued customers.

We create our beautiful pieces in the hope that they will be used through generations of little ones, given as gifts, passed down or donated to others.

Behind the Design

Our Materials

An item of Ohmybebe clothing begins its life as the finest organic and sustainable fibres that can be sourced. We are constantly striving to improve our fabric's sustainability and performance for the highest quality with the softest touch.

We source materials with certifications such as:

GOTS

GOTS is the leading, most trusted, global standard for textiles made from organic fibres. We use GOTS-certified fabrics in many of our organic cotton and sustainable garments, ensuring they meet the highest environmental and social standards throughout the entire supply chain.

Our Suppliers

We have long standing relationships with a select number of suppliers across India and China that we regularly visit (travel restrictions permitting).

Depending on the materials for the particular development and supplier, we work with supplier's that are certified with:

BSCI

The Business Social Compliance Initiative (BSCI) is a code of conduct that supports companies to drive social compliance and improvements within the factories and farms in their global supply chains. Suppliers are independently audited each year to confirm compliance.

Sedex

Sedex works with businesses to improve working conditions in global supply chains. Suppliers are registered on Sedex for transparency on compliance with relevant standards throughout the supply chain.

Our Packaging

The biggest volume of packaging we use are our inner satchels (the packaging our products are delivered to stores and warehouse in) and our delivery satchels for our online orders. We have transitioned this packaging to be made from compostable cornstarch. Under the right conditions, the cornstarch packaging is compostable and disintegrates.

The compostable, plant-based materials that make up these bags can be fully broken down in your general waste bins, leaving nothing behind but water, biomass and CO2.

What we've achieved so far...

🌿 OhMyBebe’s Commitment to a Greener Future

1. Reduction of Plastic Coat Hangers

We’ve reduced plastic hanger usage by 85%, switching to flat-packed garments to cut down waste. This simple change helps us minimize plastic consumption and move towards a cleaner, more sustainable future.

2. Transition from Plastic to Cornstarch

Our packaging now comes in compostable cornstarch bags instead of plastic. These biodegradable alternatives protect your baby’s clothes while protecting the planet too — one eco step at a time.

3. Removal of Unnecessary Packaging

We’ve streamlined our packaging by eliminating excess materials like calico bags. Every piece is now wrapped with purpose, reducing waste and ensuring a more sustainable delivery process.

4. Upcycling Fabric Waste

Leftover fabrics don’t go to waste — they’re upcycled into new creations through our in-house initiatives. By reusing every bit of fabric, we turn waste into something meaningful and beautiful.
