Positively Organic Review & Giveaway

We do not inherit the Earth from our ancestors, we borrow it from our children-Native American Proverb

In today’s global economy, Positively Organic believes that the best way to uphold their commitment to sustainability and social responsibility is by supporting and promoting small-scale manufacturers and organic farmers across the globe. 

MY TAKE-Such an adorable outfit that would be cute even for the Holidays!  A gorgeous long sleeve Cross Top that has the perfect mix of funky and feminine. Cuffup Pants that are soft, comfy and have wide contrasting cuffs. Low impact chemical dyes, which means they don't contain heavy metals so they have a very low environmental impact and are safer for people with allergies and sensitivities. Their clothes are made from handpicked and ring spun cotton, which is grown by an organic farming community that has been growing organic cotton in Northern India for centuries. 

”So soft” is the first thing my son Jesse said when he picked up Gracie with her outfit from PO. I told him it was from a company that I was reviewing it for and that it was nice he thought the same as I did. We both said "Snuggly".  

I believe all the clothing that I have reviewed or purchased for my e-store that is manufactured in India has been made from the softest, medium weight 100% organic cotton. It is very durable and so far, has held up the best of any. I have put it through the wash and dry cycle 4 times before taking the picture above and the colors are still just as vibrant. I have purchased a few items on my own from PO and have been thrilled with each and every one of them. PO has such a great selection of organic baby and toddler clothes that I plan on purchasing more for Spring and Summer. Right now I have my eye on their Poplin Sunsuits and Blossom Dresses. Adorable!

ABOUT-Positively Organic was founded by New York city residents Nancy and Peter Possenti, on the simple belief that when it comes to dressing kids, parents shouldn’t have to choose between style and sustainability.  Ms. Possenti came up with the idea for Po's signature B•Babies collection while driving around the rural farmland near the couple’s weekend cottage in the Catskill Mountains. In need of a baby gift and uninspired by what she found in stores, Nancy bought some blank onesies, designed a logo, and using iron-on photo transfers, created her first BarnBabies gift basket.  As requests started pouring in from friends and colleagues, she soon left her full-time job as PEOPLE Magazine’s Creative Services Director to dedicate herself to launching the business. During a life-altering trip to a woman’s sewing cooperative in Nicaragua, the couple realized that in order to create a company they could truly believe in, they would have to commit to sustainable and socially responsible values — and Positively Organic was born. With a clear vision, great passion and big dreams — but limited resources — the Possenti’s started their company working late nights and weekends while also holding other jobs.  Tapping into their diverse backgrounds and talents, they designed a website, ordered some inventory and, with a heat press in their living room, started fulfilling orders.  As the company has grown, the heatpress and expanding inventory have made their way to a new studio space but the Possentis still personally print each of their B•Babies images – both to ensure the highest level of quality and to stay connected to the physical process. Peter continues to hold a fulltime job as a graphic artist while also overseeing the company’s technology, bookkeeping and printing needs.
