Are Dear Gaia's products free from harmful chemicals?

Yes, we prioritize the safety of your child by offering products that are free from harmful chemicals, dyes, and additives. Many products are GOTS and OEKO-TEX 100 certified, ensuring they meet stringent safety and environmental standards.

What materials are used in Dear Gaia's products?

We are committed to working with brands that use natural and certified materials to ensure the safety and comfort of your child. Products are made from materials such as OEKO-TEX 100 certified cotton, GOTS-certified organic cotton, Merino wool blended with silk, and pure cashmere. These materials are chosen for their softness, breathability, and hypoallergenic properties, making them ideal for delicate baby skin.

What sizes are available for baby and toddler clothing?

We offer a range of sizes for babies and toddlers, typically from size 50 (newborn) up to size 104 (approximately 4 years old). We do also offer limited collections of clothing for children age 5- 8 years old. Specific size availability may vary by product. For detailed sizing information, please refer to the product descriptions and size guides provided on each product page.

How should I choose the right size for my newborn baby?

When selecting sizes, it's important to consider that some products may run slightly smaller compared to popular mass-market brands. For newborns, size 56 is often recommended for the hospital outfit, unless you anticipate your baby being exceptionally small or large. Babies typically outgrow size 56 within 2 to 5 weeks. It's advisable to have a few sets in size 56 for the initial days, while the rest of the wardrobe can be in size 62. Always check the product’s measurements in the size chart provided on the product page and compare them with clothes you already own. Keep in mind that new garments may shrink by up to 8% after the first wash.


How should I care for Dear Gaia's clothing to ensure longevity?

To maintain the quality and extend the life of Dear Gaia's clothing, follow these care guidelines:

Cotton Products: Wash at 30°C with a mild detergent. Do not tumble dry, bleach, or dry clean. Iron at a maximum temperature of 150°C.

Merino Wool and Silk Products: Hand wash or use a wool cycle with a gentle wool and silk detergent. Avoid high temperatures and harsh chemicals to prevent damage. Find out more in our guide.

Cashmere Products: Hand wash in lukewarm water and lay flat to dry. Handle with care to maintain the softness and shape of the fabric.
