Pumpuli – sale on adorable baby knitwear

Posted on 31 Jul 2009 | 0 comments

Pumpuli are having a sale – seriously, you must go see if you’ve never looked at their site before (but be ready to go “ooohhhh….”

Pumpuli® products combine beautiful and high-quality garments, produced so as to put the least possible strain on the environment.

All their knitwear is hand-knitted (not mass-produced in some nasty sweatshop), and made from sustainably-grown organic cotton, which is dyed using only natural colours – wonderful things like rose petals! – or in many cases left completely undyed to show the beautiful natural colour of pure cotton. They even care about the packaging, using recycled, unbleached and otherwise sustainable materials wherever possible.

I personally adore the Diana Monkey Dresses, these adorable yellow Cardinal Cardigans, and the lovely Ridgeway Hawk Tops for the boys.

If only they stocked bigger sizes – stopping at 24mths is just plain mean!

(PS – I was curious too, so I asked about the name:
“Well, curiously enough, Pumpuli is an old Finnish name for cotton. (Not that there’s much cotton being grown in Finland, but we just liked the word!) Guess it also goes to show what a small world it is, after all – and all the more worth protecting for it. The correct pronunciation, incidentally, is such that both the ‘u’s sound similar to the vowel in ‘foot’, and the ‘i’ at the end is as in the word ‘hit’.
So there y’go :)
