Merle
Merle creates the clothes that kids truly want to wear! Our collection features fun, colourful organic baby and children's clothes that tell engaging stories and cater to all children, regardless of gender.
Beyond the clothes, our kids deserve a healthy planet! They need fresh air and thriving communities. That’s why I strive to make eco-friendly kids' clothing that is as sustainable as possible. For more information about Merle’s commitment to the environment, visit the Sustainability Page.
All our manufactured products are crafted from 100% organic cotton, and while we’re a young and small company still working towards certification, I'm proud that our Portuguese manufacturer holds organic and fair certifications.
Our handmade pieces are sewn in beautiful Leipzig, Germany, using organic cotton fabric (95% cotton, 5% elastane) that is produced under fair conditions. I also prioritize avoiding plastic whenever possible and take pride in running an ethical kids' fully vegan clothing company.
Merle Kids is a one-person business. It's me, Gaëlle, who is behind everything, and I love every minute of it! I look forward to working with you!
