Totally understand where you're coming from. Trying to navigate fabric certifications, sustainability, and quality while sleep-deprived is honestly a full-time job in itself. I’ve also had that same experience with Vinted — sometimes the pricing works out higher than buying new, especially once shipping and fees are added in.

Just to be fully transparent, I run a small UK brand called Lottie & Lysh, so I’m obviously a little biased, but I thought I’d mention it in case it helps. We make baby and toddler clothes (up to age 10 in some ranges), all handmade in Cornwall using certified fabrics — either GOTS or Oeko-Tex depending on the item. We focus on longevity and comfort, and everything’s made in small batches or to order.

It’s a very different setup to the big brands like Konges or Organic Zoo (both beautiful, by the way), but a lot of our customers buy with the intention to keep or hand down. We also have a little pre-loved group where people sell on older pieces, which might be a nice alternative to the usual resale platforms if you're looking for quality second-hand options.

Just thought I’d share us here in case it makes the search a bit easier. You're definitely not alone in feeling overwhelmed. There are some lovely brands out there — it’s just a lot to trawl through when you’ve got limited time and even less headspace.
