The Daily Cardigan Baby

The cardigan is 100% organic cotton knit with GOTS certification named and traced from farm to finished garment, with no elastane or synthetic content in this style. Exact farm, ginning and spinning partners are also named.

The cardigan closes with natural coconut buttons rather than snaps, with no cords or ties at the neck. Button retention strength and seam-abrasion testing are not published for this garment, though the rest of the construction is clearly described.

Knitwear dyes are stated to be ZDHC compliant, a named chemical safety protocol aimed at keeping harmful chemistry out of waterways and away from workers, but no azo-specific test method or result is given for this garment's dyed colourways.

The GOTS and OEKO-TEX numbers published for this garment belong to its knitwear maker, Padrão Determinado, not to the garment itself, and both OEKO-TEX certificates have since expired.

We queried the CPSC recall database across its full 1973-2026 corpus and found no record for this brand in any role. The query's control terms confirm the registry covers comparable baby-product categories, so the clean result is a reliable reading of the brand's history.

Both OEKO-TEX STANDARD 100 certificates given for this garment's knitwear maker, Padrão Determinado in Portugal (10627CIT and 10629CIT), show as expired in OEKO-TEX's label check, and the GOTS certificate number given for the same maker does not appear in the GOTS public database.

Materials and certification are disclosed in detail for this cardigan, but nothing states whether the knit carries a wrinkle-resistant, easy-care or water-repellent finish; waxed cotton treatments appear elsewhere in the range but are not described for this item.

Care steps are published for this garment's fabric (cotton knit): machine wash cold on a delicate cycle, lay flat to dry, iron on low if desired and reshape while damp. No pre-wash before first wear is given.

The Simple Folk names the factory behind its garments, with that factory's GOTS licence number, and publishes a traceability page that follows the cotton back to named farms and notes where certification is still in progress. Some garments give a country of manufacture that conflicts with the factory named for them, and no warranty or repair route is published.

The cardigan closes with natural coconut buttons rather than metal hardware, removing the nickel/lead hardware question, and it ships in dyed colourways (cornflower blue, mauve, mocha, rust) so the dye chemistry on the fabric is still a live question. We find a named ZDHC dye protocol for knitwear generally but no test method or result specific to this garment.
