We’re really proud of our stockists.
They really care about children, the environment and our clothing. Babi Pur is one such company which sells Pili
Pala clothing online and in their lovely Porthmadog store.
The company was established in 2007 by husband and wife team Peter and
Jolene. Following the birth of their
first daughter, Harriet, they found city
life quite challenging and decided to leave the insurance companies they worked
for and return to Jolene’s home town of Porthmadog.
Inspired by their daughter and the need to ensure she was dressed in
ethically produced clothing and played with toys that would stimulate and
educate her without damaging the environment, they set up an internet company sepecialising
in ethical babywear, childrenswear and accessories. 2007 was a particularly busy but exciting
year for Peter and Jolene as Isobelle, their second daughter was born and
cemented their belief that children should be brought up in a world which
encouraged fair trade.
If you’re looking for a gift for someone special, or fancy a peek at their
shop, take a look at their online shop.

Pili Pala Childrenswear is set to
launch their third collection at Bubble London June 20-21, 2010 (Stand
VB8).
Strengthening their ethos of ethically
produced clothes that are made to last, the new collection again contains
pieces which are both unisex and trans-seasonal with funky design-led garments using the
softest organic cotton, velour and recycled fabric.
Underwear
The most
exciting aspect of the new collection is the launch of an underwear range in
soft organic cotton which includes boy’s briefs, girl’s briefs and a
multi-purpose unisex vest.
Pili Pala’s
founder, Berith Lochery, explains: “Following the success of our first two
collections I wanted to increase our offer to both our retailers and consumers.
Our ethos of producing funky, practical clothes in the softest organic cotton
should be applied to underwear too. More and more parents appreciate the
quality of our organic garments and it seemed natural to introduce underwear
into the collection.”
The briefs and
vest are available in both red and navy stripes as well as block color and will
be available as sets in specially commissioned gift boxes made from recycled
materials, naturally. The new underwear collection is available in
sizes 2 – 12 years.
Babywear
Hot on the
heels of the successful introduction of Pili Pala babywear during AW10, the new
babywear range includes babygros, hats and bibs all available in red or red and
navy stripes – equally stylish for baby girls or boys. Created in
soft organic cotton, the babywear range is sure to be a big hit with babies and
their parents. Available in sizes from birth to 12 months.
Clothing
Pili Pala’s third collection continues
its signature identity of stylish, clean lines which emphasise comfort along
with strong playful stripes and an increased colour palette of bold colour
blocks in red, red and navy stripes with highlights of yellow embroidery.
New garment styles include the addition
of a sundress in red, red and navy stripes. Wide, comfortable,
play-proof straps stylishly crossover at the back with popper fastenings for
easy dressing. These comfortable popper fastenings are also seen on
the red velour unisex dungarees, with long trousers they are the perfect
trans-seasonal wardrobe solution for chilly, grey days whether it’s spring,
summer or indeed autumn.
All of Pili Pala’s clothes are produced
using organic fabric and ethical processes. Designed and
manufactured in the UK, the garments are a fantastic combination of sensational
style and comfortable clothing which are produced without compromising on
ethical or environmental standards.
