  • We do not charge you Swiss VAT but you usually have to pay them anyway. The Swiss added tax will be invoiced to you by the carrier upon receipt of the goods together with the customs clearance costs and any customs duties. The Swiss VAT is calculated based on the taxable value of the goods. The taxable value of the goods is made up of the cost of the goods, shipping costs, customs clearance costs and any customs duties. For administrative reasons, tax amounts up to CHF 5 are not charged. This tax amount corresponds to an assessment base of CHF 65.00 at the VAT rate of 7.7% (standard rate).

Product

  • Apart from certain accessories (such as buttons and zippers) our products are 100% organic. We use 100% organic cotton with a GOTS certification for the fabric of our products.

  • Organic cotton is produced and certified to organic agricultural standards. The production is made by natural processes, without any artificial inputs unlike non-organic cotton.

    This means that organic cotton is not made with the use of toxic chemicals or genetically modified organisms. Instead, organic cotton is grown on land that has been treated and given sufficient time for at least three years for the removal of all the toxic residues of chemical fertilisers and pesticides used earlier on it. The textile is actually made from original plants that are not genetically modified and that have not been treated with any chemicals like washes, bleaches, colors or scents.

  • The Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS) is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres, including ecological and social criteria, backed up by independent certification of the entire textile supply chain.

  • 1. Attach the towel to your body using the push button in the neck
    2. Use both your hands to hold and wash your baby in the baby bathtub
    3. Open the towel with one hand while holding your baby with the other in his/her baby bathtub. With both hands bring your baby to your chest and hold the little one tight.
    4. Place the hoodie of the baby towel over your baby’s head holding him against your body and wrap the towel around him.
    - Happy bathing!

  • All fabrics are produced in Portugal as well as the confection of the items is done in Portugal.

  • The Baby Towel can be used from birth until your little one walks around steady and is big enough for a Toddler Cape. The Baby Towel is big enough to easily dry a kid up to 3 years old so it is up to you when you want to say goodbye to this loving bathing ritual.

  • The Toddler cape will reach your kid’s ankles at 1,5 years old and her or his knees when they turn 5. We want this Toddler Cape to be used many years to be sustainable in every way possible.
