Customer's Praise for Frugi

As those of you will know who have used Hanna's Dream, you'd have to go a long way before finding friendlier or better service. The items that they stock are special. For those of you who may not have heard of Frugi, a UK brand, I thought it would be useful to add some comments about Frugi. Before you ask - no I don't work for Frugi (or Hanna's Dream), I just love their clothes season upon season and just haven't found an organic clothing company to beat them. I've been using their items now for over 5 years and have always found them to be of really high quality, wash fabulously well, be supremely comfortable and just have such adorable attention to detail that adds that extra 'ahh' factor. They also have real eco-credentials, gained because they truly believe in it not just because it is becoming more fashionable. The items are organic certified and fair trade, they have degradable packaging and give 1% for the planet.

This season they have introduced organic denim and straightaway it has become a real favourite. This 'Eco Denim' is as they describe it, incredibly supple and really comfortable. I wish they did some in adult sizes! My little girl's favourite trousers are her Frugi jeans, they have a lovely jersey-lined waistband so no pinched skin it's also elasticated and has a little adjustment at the back so they really do fit well. To add that extra touch for girls they have pink embroidery on the back pockets. She just delights in wearing them adding that she's just like mummy! My boy also has the Frugi jeans and whilst he doesn't want to look like mummy he does reach for them and wear them from the cupboard, so that gives his stamp of approval.


The Eco Denim layered skirt is another favourite here, with the funky tights it is great for the cooler weather too and just that bit different. Now I have experienced the denim I just wished that I'd ordered the Pinafore Dress but that will have to be a later order!

For tops, my little girl's favourites are without doubt the Frugi Organic Lovebird Layered Tee and the Frugi Organic Merry-Go-Round Layered Tee, both go beautifully with the organic jeans and layered skirt. They both have really adorable prints and really helpfully, if your child's head is on the large side, poppers on the shoulder.

For boys there are a few things which really stand out for me, I've already mentioned the Eco Denim jeans, and the raccoon tee has to be seen to be adored! Incredibly soft and beautifully made it is the orange colour with the striking raccoon features that grabs your attention - it just jumps out at you!


The animo camo lined combat trousers are another great example of Frugi's attention to detail. Not only is the print made up of animals, which provides amusement on a car journey, but they have an animal on the back pocket - not sure whether it's an elk or moose but I'm sure you'll know. The trousers are extremely hard wearing, as they need to be with great boyish outdoor play, but at the same time are supple and soft. As an added winter bonus they are lined with jersey to help keep out the cold.
You can probably tell that I really do rate Frugi, it just is exceptional clothing. As a mum of three who has tried numerous organic clothing brands, it is just one that I know you'll love if you try, and I have no hesitation in recommending. --Helen, UK
