California woman launches organic clothing company with line of baby products
FREMONT, Calif. — Any successful startup needs market demand and The Green Creation founder Smitha Prasad knew the demand for organic baby clothing first hand, having searched for affordable products to the point of frustration for her two young children.
Taking an "if you want something done right, do it yourself approach," Prasad launched The Green Creation in March. The Fremont, Calif.-based company designs and manufactures organic cotton clothing products. Currently its focus is on baby clothing: bodysuits and pants for infants and T-shirts and pants for toddlers. The company also sells baby accessories such as wash cloths, bibs, towels and blankets.
The main selling point of the organic clothing is it does not irritate the skin, which is more of a problem with non-organic clothing than people would think, according to Prasad. "Even though clothing comes as a finished product, they still carry pesticides in them that can irritate a child's skin," she said. |
