Timber Cord Cargos (Charcoal)

 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
 
The thing with cord trousers is they can go brittle after washing and you’re not so much folding them as snapping them in half to put them away. Not so with these wonderfully soft cargos. They have remained soft after repeated washed and look great!
The Charcoal colour contrast well with the bright blue of the jersey lining [...]

Paw Paw Layered Top

I absolutey love this top! I’m a big fan of the layered look anyway and frequently use Frugi’s gorgeous long-sleeved vests with Frugi t-shirts to get the layered look. But this top does it all! The colours are a great mix of muted tones with bright stripes of green which means you can match it [...]

Blue Ripple Footed Leggings

Until now I’ve tended to avoid velour baby clothes, despite how snuggly they look, as the fabric almost always seems to contain polyester or other man-made fibres.  I’m fussy about sticking to 100% cotton (preferably organic) for my rugrats, so I was especially delighted by these leggings which are Frugi’s standard 100% organic cotton AND [...]

Tractor Applique Envelope Top

Lovely thick organic cotton makes this top a standout for me – it’s much thicker than your average t-shirt, so great for chilly Autumn or Winter days.  The envelope neck makes it easy to get over my baby’s head without tears and screaming (from me or him!)
 
The tractor applique is a striking addition, and unlike [...]

Bike Track Lined Canvas Trousers

These are some seriously tough trousers!  The organic canvas outer is made to last… and last, and last, and last…  The trousers are saved from being uncomfortably stiff by the lovely soft jersey lining, which also makes them extremely warm.
 
There are loads of pockets, which my son loves to fill with treasures – this can [...]

Mountain Biker Applique Top

This top is such a great colour!  Forgive me for saying it, but as the mum of two boys I get ever so bored with only ever having blue or brown clothes in their wardrobes.  A lovely bright red really stands out while still being boyish.  The mountain bike applique is a really neat design, [...]

Polka Pink Reversible Hoody

It’s true – two tops in one! Both the plain and spotty sides of this hoody are pretty and original, and with two thick layers of cotton this top is lovely and warm. This top matches the Amazing Grape pull-ups (which I also love), but I prefer to team it with the Eco-Denim trousers.
One thing [...]

Flutterby Top

Another beautiful t-shirt with an incredibly generous applique design. The soft blue-grey colour really suits my little girl and matches well with all her other Frugi clobber. I was a little worried the first time it came out of the washing machine – the applique design had puckered the t-shirt up, but after a gentle [...]

Reversible Tracker Cord Coat and Tracker Hat

I’ve had these items for a while now but it’s only in the last couple of weeks with the change in the weather that I’ve been able to get use out of them (actually, it’s still too warm for the snuggly hat but it has been modelled at home).
I initially had to return the coat [...]

Frugi boys – great wash and wear clothes

Just another post to add that a few weeks on since receiving the Timber Cord Cargos, Howl Layered Top and Blue Ripple Snuggle Fleece, they have washed (and tumbled dried on the odd occasion) so well. The cords seemed to shrink slightly, but now seem to be a great length with turn ups still showing. [...]
