| I know Hanna Andersen and H&M have them, any other recs? Thanks! |
Kindly, your best bet is to buy or borrow used clothes. Nothing better for the environment. |
Ok, so what are your suggestions for organic brands I can buy used? |
Why do they need to be organic? If you’re worried about the earth, used conventional cotton clothes are better for the environment than new organic cotton. If you’re worried about pesticide remnants, those are gone from clothes that have been worn and washed a few times. |
| Pact is a favorite for basics. Primary has great colorful options. Emma & Finn are great quality. Not my fav for style/design, but some cute options. |

I second buying used if you are worried about the environment. Not only is this the best choice in terms of waste, but used clothes that have been laundered many times are less likely to have any of the chemicals that new clothes (even organic cotton ethically made clothes) are almost always coated with as part of the process of packaging and distribution. Yes, even Hanna Anderssen.
My recommendation for used clothes is to look for well made items in natural fabrics. IME, the brands that hold up best through multiple kids are: Hanna, Primary, Boden, and Zara. The brands that are more disposable and don’t last include: Old Navy, H&M (even their “conscious” line), Gap, Children’s Place, Carters |

| I like parade. |
+1 on all of this. |

Evergreen wildwear. Two sisters in GA make the clothes from organic cotton that last through multiple sizes, especially during infant and early school age when kids grow length a lot in legs and arms.
They have a website and a BST on Facebook. |
Another +1 |
+2 (or 3?). Except I think Boden is very cute, but poorly made and doesn't hold up well at all. Don't know about Zara. Tea Collection is another brand that holds up well through multiple kids. There are also a number of European brands with a cult following here that meet your criteria. Frugi, Maxomorra, Joules, Duns, etc. |
| I love Tea Collection for DD2 and always stock up during their sales. Most of their clothes wear well and I hand them down to my niece. |

| H&M conscious has held up through two kids, not as well as Primary. |
