babibu… It’s One of A Kind!

November 19, 2010 By Lena

Soft, luxurious and the ultimate in comfort. Why would you want anything else next to baby’s delicate skin?

Introducing babibu, an eco-friendly line of bamboo basics. All babibu products are proudly designed and handmade in Canada, using high quality bamboo fabric. If you’ve been looking for an environmentally friendly alternative that is also stylish & fun, I’d say you’ve found the solution.

babibu was created by designer Sarah Lopez shortly after giving birth to her son. After realizing that it was nearly impossible to find baby clothing that was eco-friendly, comfortable and trendy, Sarah began to design her own clothing for her son, with the hopes of embodying all of these qualities. Sarah soon learned that she wasn’t the only mom who yearned for better babywear, and that a union of quality, fashion, and the environment was in high demand! She became so passionate about her plight to improve the world of baby couture that she opened her own company with her talented seamstress mother-in-law, Beatriz. And just like that, babibu was born.

Shopping online is a breeze: all babibu products are available in sizes 0-24 months in the following trendy colours:

Simply grab a style, select from one of the many colours, and go! I LOVE that you can coordinate an entire outfit – everything from onesies and baby blankets to boppys and crib sheets – in complimentary shades of fabulous!

And this is certainly not the first time you’ve heard me share the benefits of bamboo – it’s an über breathable material that quickly wicks moisture away from the body, allowing your baby to stay cool and dry in the summer, and cozy (but never overheated) in the winter. In fact, bamboo swaddling blankets are slowly becoming the gold standard for keeping baby cuddly from birth (and happen to be one of my favourite baby shower items to give). Bamboo is also hypoallergenic, anti-bacterial, anti-fungal, and anti-static… and at the end of the day, just throw it in the washer/dryer with the rest of your clothes. Could it get easier?

From babibu’s website, my picks:

This long sleeve onesie is not only comfortable, but it’s super stylish! Made from 97% bamboo and 3% spandex it has the perfect amount of stretch to pull gently over your baby’s head and fits like a dream. This unique fabric is super absorbent, and wicks moisture away from the body to keep your baby cool and dry in the summer and warm and cozy in the winter. This long sleeve onesie is available in 8 fabulous colours for babies 0-24 months of age.

(Did you know that bamboo’s luxuriously soft and silky texture is often compared to silk and cashmere?)

What baby wouldn’t want a trendy new bib to match their super cool outfit?! If only babies could talk! Not only are these bibs stylish, but they’re made from bamboo which makes them naturally hypoallergenic and anti-bacterial. Make a fashion statement at the dinner table and choose between 8 fabulous colours!

Moms, let’s be honest. Swaddling our babies is not as easy as we thought it would be and requires a great deal of practice and patience! babibu’s large and stretchy swaddling blanket is made with 97% bamboo and just a touch of spandex to give you that perfect swaddle! Bamboo fabric is luxuriously soft and naturally hypoallergenic – the perfect fit for your baby’s delicate skin.

I suggest that you grab babibu for your babe before it’s spotted on a celebrity’s child – babibu has been invited to sponsor this year’s fabulous Golden Globes Boom Boom Room – a luxury giving suite featuring the hottest baby brands on the market! It’s always important to stay ahead of fashion – even pint-sized haute couture!

    Oh, I'm really liking the knitwear hat and mitts set, that would be my favorite. Close follow-up: the karate pants. (And the pants must have a matching onesie).
