Babybits's Profile

Bio

The Baby Bits Company creates unique handmade garments and accessories made with high end repurposed materials. Materials are primarily sourced from local resale shops that benefit charitable community programs.

The company started in 2006 when apparel designer Mary Catherine Buchanan began experimenting with boiled wool, constructing simple bootie and cap designs. Determined to find a truly sustainable way to create her designs, a full line of apparel and accessories was developed using diverse raw materials such as 100% cotton men’s oxford shirts and 100% silk vintage saris.

The reward of repurposing garments is saving unwanted garments from the landfill. Creating something new and special from something that has lost its original purpose is an added bonus. Garments are meticulously reviewed for quality, content, luxurious hand, and a cohesive color story. A creative choice of materials yields unique keepsakes with a smart and creative spin on environmentally friendly apparel production.

The Baby Bits Company creates seasonal staples such as leg and arm warmers, booties, caps, and bloomers. Each season brings a new take on the classic silhouettes as well as new designs for little boys and girls.
