Clothes to feel good in, clothes to feel good about...
Tatty Bumpkin™ was created in 2004, in response to the lack of Organic and ethically sourced products for children age 1-7 years, we are one of only a handful of organic manufacturers for this age group. Although our clothes are, and have always been, organic and ethically produced, we think that the clothes should be desirable in their own right too. Comfortable clothing enables children to do what they do best - explore, learn and develop their imagination. Ill fitting and uncomfortable clothing actually inhibits learning and development. Movement is the basis for learning...
Our yoga based multi-sensory movement classes were the inspiration behind the comfy clothing and there are now teachers throughout the Uk and Europe. On a day to day basis, our aim is to enable anyone connected with children the chance to enjoy their unlimited imagination within their surroundings. We now have: - Organic and Bamboo clothing
- Fair trade toys and accessories
- Teacher training and classes
- A Music CD to accompany the stories and classes
- An Educational resource kit for schools
- Teaching materials and tools
- Franchising

It's good for the environment.
Cotton farming is one of agriculture's most environmentally destructive activities. Making our t-shirts from 100% organic cotton means that one third of a pound of synthetic fertilizers and pesticides is saved for each garment produced - that's about a teacup! It's good for your child.
Organic products contain fewer chemicals and are far less toxic than many
conventional products. It benefits growers.
Farmers growing cotton organically are able to reduce their overheads and the likelihood of getting into debt. - Designed with active kids in mind, our clothes are versatile and easy to wear
