Our Cotton

GOTS Certified organic cotton that made Pokka Kids dye free baby clothing in Brooklyn, New York

Why We’re So Proud of Our Cotton

At Pokka Kids, we believe your baby deserves the very best—starting with the fabric that touches their skin. That’s why we only use 100% GOTS certified organic cotton from Japan. It wasn’t the easiest path, but we knew it was the right one. Choosing GOTS certified cotton means our fabric meets the highest standards for both environmental care and social responsibility. (Want to learn more? Visit www.global-standard.org. Our certification number is PRJ 005030/252018.)

Here’s what makes our cotton so special:

Certified organic (GOTS) – so you can trust it’s truly natural and responsibly made
Dye-free or made with AZO-free dyes – no harsh chemicals, just peace of mind
Lint-free – great for sensitive skin and less mess in the wash
Breathable and lightweight – keeping your baby comfy and cool
Super soft (and gets even softer with each wash!)
Fast drying – helps prevent bacteria from lingering
Minimal shrinkage – so the fit stays just right

You may notice tiny natural specks in the fabric—that’s a beautiful reminder it’s the real deal. And those adorable polka dots? They’re jacquard-woven, not printed, meaning no added chemicals—just clean, natural design.

We also want to raise awareness about AZO dyes. These are dyes commonly used in clothing, but they can be harmful and are even banned in the EU and parts of Asia. While they’re still allowed in the U.S., we’ve chosen to stay AZO-free—because we care about what touches your child’s skin.

It took a lot of time and care to find the perfect cotton, but we’re so proud of the result. Every piece we make is a reflection of our commitment to quality, safety, and comfort—for your baby and for the planet.
