<p>Just off the top of my head there's Katvig, Katvig use organic cotton and recycled polyester (fair enough) but they have also developed a transport system which focuses on saving packaging etc. The transport side of things is a whole aspect I hadn't even considered. How much of the damage done to the environment through clothing manufacture is caused by the transport of goods rather than the actual materials used? A lot I would imagine.</p>
<p><a target="_blank" href="http://www.birdkids.co.uk">BirdKids - Children's Clothing</a> - There's a few Katvig items on here if you are interested.</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Also would buying these goods from Europe and shipping them over here offset the environmental benefits the manufactures have strived so hard to attain?</p>
<p> </p>
<p>Are there any similar brands to watch out for based here in the UK, please get in touch.</p>
