Clothes

  • Merino Wool

    Responsibly made from the softest merino wool, we love Dutch brand Lille Barn's brand's styles, colors and quality, which is why we carry them new. We also love Danish company Dilling for their merino-silk blends and Austrian brand Popolini for onesies and booties.

  • Cottons

    Geneva-based brand l'Asticot is all about bright prints and organic cotton. Their clothes are durable and stylish and can be passed on again and again. We also love Barcelona's Tiralahilacha for their chill prints on organic cotton and ecolo-cool Swiss kids brand Where Is Marlo?.

  • Bamboo or Wood Fibre

    The sustainability of plant-based fabrics is a tricky issue but ECOVERO and TENCEL fabrics are far less intensive to produce than regular rayon, viscose or modal. These silky fabrics are a great choice for sensitive skin because of their breathability. Mini Rodini, Bobo Choses and Mar Mar Copenhagen have some great options for day clothes, but we're still looking for the perfect zip-up pajamas from a European brand...

Underwear and Outerwear

  • Underwear:

    (Because some things you just don't want to buy secondhand.)

    Dilling makes great organic merino-silk socks and underwear and we're really loving new Swiss brand Well-Rounded's organic cotton undie options.

  • Outerwear

    Finding outerwear that is made without harmful toxins isn't easy, but Swiss brand Naumk is one of our favorite options. Patagonia is, of course, a long-time eco-friendly brand, along with Norwegian brand Helly Hansen.

Shoes

  • Benjie

    Benji is a super cool Swiss brand. They're B Corp Certified, and make ergonomically happy shoes that are as cute as they are comfy. 

  • Petit Nord

    Classic leather shoes designed in Denmark, responsibly made in Portugal. And boy are they adorable. 

  • Wildling

    Taking a barefoot approach, Wildling is all about sustainability but their designs don't suffer for it. Great toddler options for feeling the ground beneath your feet, no matter the weather. 

Mamas

  • You&Milk

    We love these stylish and comfy breastfeeding clothes from this (very) Frenchy brand. Beautiful sweats and sweaters, nursing bras and undies that are easy to wear, but never frumpy. 

  • Tajine Banane

    The last word in cool mom clothes, their styles are super fresh and ultra comfy. They even have a second-hand in-house shop!

  • Boob

    Fun to say and even more fun to wear, this brand is a no-brainer. We love how simple, well-made and easy their styles are.  

  • Mamalila

    I have two words for you: baby-wearing overalls. (Okay, maybe four words, whatever). BABYWEARING OVERALLS. For the bump, for the baby. Also amazing jackets that fit over a baby carrier! They even have stuff for men! 

  • Isabella Olivier

    Classic styles, well made basics, eco-responsible materials. We only wish their maternity clothes rental service was available in Switzerland! 

  • Belly Band

    This isn't a brand. It's a tip. Grab one of these stretchy tubes and wear it over your regular (unbuttoned!) pants. Extends your pants for longer, meaning you have to buy less. 

Nursery, et al

  • Stokke

    Stokke is the benchmark for well-made baby furniture. From their iconic tripp-trapp chair, to beautiful cribs they make heirloom pieces. Designed well with natural and sustainable materials they really last, so if you find something secondhand, grab it!

  • Wooden Toys

    There are a few brands that specialize in wood and educational toys that we love: Plantoys, Bajo, Janod, and Brio are all great brands with commitments to sustainability.

  • BabyBjörn

    We love BabyBjorn for their simplicity, great designs and quality that lasts and lasts. A great brand to support, a great brand to find secondhand!

  • Moonboon

    We came for the kapok and buckwheat filled nursing pillows. We stayed for the bouncing cradle because frankly we want one for ourselves.

  • Hevea

    Hevea makes natural rubber pacifiers and glass bottles with rubber protective covers and all sorts of other great stuff, including dog toys (because some babies have fur). 

  • Micro

    This Swiss brand of scooters and kids bikes is amazing. High quality means you can pass it along again and again. And you can replace literally ANY part, which is huge in terms of getting the longest use out of any big product like this. 

Rentals

  • Strollers: Loopi

    Rent big-ticket items here like strollers and bike trailers. Great quality items.

  • Clothes: Miniloop

    Beautiful brands with a subscription service.

  • Cloth Diapering: Eco-Couches

    They'll pick up the dirties and supply you with clean cloth diapers. (Genève/Lausanne/Nyon)

  • Your local ludothèque

    Switzerland has a great network of "toy libraries." A great way to reduce your impact or try out toys.

  • Bikes: Revolv

    Subscription service for bikes for all ages. Great brands, easy subscription

  • Travel: Babonbo

    Babonbo is a global network of parents renting out their gear. Traveling to Barcelona and don't want to bring a stroller? Staying at a hotel and need a cot? Rent it from a local!
