New from Alkena women's super soft simple vest in a very soft organic cotton. This beautiful vest is a very fine, very gentle, therapeutic layer next to the skin. The softest and kindest to the skin, allowing it to breathe while providing gentle thermal warmth.

• ethically made in China from 100% organic cotton
• chemical-free
• soft on the most sensitive skin
• grey melange and denim melange

This is made from 100% GOTS certified organic cotton.

Organic cotton is grown without the use of chemical fertilisers and is healthier for the environment. The reduced processing of the cotton also results in a longer-staple, higher quality cotton that is softer on your skin.

Included in the organic certification are standards that ensure the welfare of those involved in the farming and production of the clothing, so that you can be assured that nobody has been exploited along the way.

You will feel the difference in quality when you touch organic cotton - it's something that gives us pleasure to handle here at Cambridge Baby, and you know that it's safe for your baby and gentle and nurturing for your family.

Please wash your organic cotton on a 30°c cotton cycle.

A small amount of shrinkage may occur in the first couple of washes, but the clothes are made slightly bigger to accommodate this. Air dry, and re-shape while damp if necessary.

To help all your clothes last longer, always air dry rather than tumble dry.

To reduce calcium build-up which can contribute to a hardening of your clothing, add a little vinegar to your rinse cycle.

Alkena is a Swiss company who have set up a biodynamic regeneration project, near ChengDu in China. Doing so, they brought traditional silk-making skills back to the region. We were very excited to discover this positive work and the very high quality silk clothing coming from it. The silk is organic silk certified by IMO.

Silk is excellent for the skin - it's gentle, insulating and breathable and has been used for generations and across cultures as the ideal next-to-the-skin layer and Alkena's organic mulberry silk is simply the best.
Moreover, the poppers used by Alkena are nickel-free!
