New Organic Wool Baby Toy Range at Mimimyne!

Posted under Mimimyne eco friendly products news

Just blogging about the new range of organic wool baby toys designed and hand knitted by Kathy Broussart at Cosytots Organics. Cosytots Organics came to life when she was tidying her daughter’s bedrooms and noticed the dust flying up from their neglected synthetic soft toys. She thought to herself “This is not what I want for my child”. She still has the teddy her parents gave her on the day she was born (Kathy is originally from Normandy but has lived in Cornwall for many years) and this was what she wanted for her children and for others.

“Restoring a tradition where teddies were your best friend,
the one you give cuddles to, the one who shares your joy
and dry your tears”

With her mum and sister, she started designing patterns, researching wool and fleece suppliers.
It took a couple of months as she knew how to knit but wanted CE certification and to find the right suppliers. She found two great companies who sell organic wool, one based in Wales and the other one in Cornwall, 20 minutes away from her house. They are British producers and she feels that nowadays it is important to support people who produce quality and care for animals and people. The whole range is now Soil Association Certified and when dyes are used they are organic certified dyes. It’s a true family business and you can be reassured that Kathy wants the best for your children as she does for her own!

Wrap up warm for Halloween and Bonfire Night

Posted under Mimimyne eco friendly products news

Hi friends of Mimimyne,

We’re looking forward to Halloween and a night of trick or treating! And we’re already excited about Bonfire Night. J K Lange from Teenytini is supplying us with lots of beautiful hand-crocheted gloves and scarves, in custom colours, for babies and toddlers who like to keep warm in style – check out our new stuff here. These are all hand-made in the UK from beautiful wool, cotton, cashmere and silk fibres and have natural dyes which are kind to your little one’s skin. They’d make a fab gift for a new baby or a christening too!

Another great new baby gift is our Dad and Sprog Pint and Half-Pint Combo T shirt set from Suzi Warren at Twisted Twee, whose organic range is increasing all the time. We’re going to have more of her fab designs very soon.

See you on Halloween – scary masks not included! love Mimi and Myne
