Back in 2006 when we first opened the shop here in Yorkshire, one of the first Brands we had to have was Katvig...
Katvig has since then done their best in the fight agains pollution and the way we recycle things... Although it has meant that the prices unfortunately have increased slightly.
We have now ordered some pieces from their winter collection and I think you will love them as much as we do...
Vigga Svensson is the woman behind the Katvig™ children’s clothes that have
become an instant classic among parents around the world. When she got the idea
for the clothes it was hard for her to reconcile her desire to protect the
Earth with the production methods being used.
That's why she began to use organic cotton and recycled polyester, made
out of used plastic bottles. She wanted her signature Apple prints and
stripes to be as friendly as possible to the nature, to the people making it and to the children wearing it.
Vigga has also developed a transport system that saves enormous amounts of
packaging. She is politically involved with the sustainable
development, and has already had great success with putting her
mark on the industry.
Her latest initiative is a cotton mill that would make Denmark
completely free of the very polluting consumption of cotton we see
today. Instead of the endless pollution of nature and environment, the
cotton mill will make it possible to recycle all the cotton that is
thrown away every year.
Recently Vigga has launched what might be the most sustainable material ever, recycled organic cotton.
