Sama Baby Organics-Guest Blog for Sama Baby
I am so excited that SAMA baby has asked me to do a guest blog on their site. SAMA baby is a luxurious baby clothing line and made with Organic Cotton.
Let me start by introducing myself and telling you what is the ultimate hype about organic vs. traditional cotton and how samababy.com fits into a lifestyle choice for your baby and loved babies in your life. My name is Nichole Groat and I have been in the apparel industry for ten years, my love of the industry lead me to Kansas to work for an apparel design company and then www.vannybean.com came along. Vanny Bean is an organic baby and toddler boutique, we <3 SAMA baby and carry it as a great choice for clothing.
What’s all the hype about organic anyway…When we are talking about Organic Cotton vs. Traditional Cotton there is a very distinctive, major impact on the environment. Traditional Cotton uses genetically modified seeds and more than likely has a mono (one crop) year after year. This means the soil is striped of nutrients and requires a whole lot of water. Many highly dangerous chemicals are applied to the crop using herbicides which account for 25% of the worlds use, pesticides which nine forms are highly toxic and five have cancer causing effects. The spray then drifts to farms, wildlife, and population in the area…
Organic Cotton uses pure seeds, builds strong nutrient dense soil through crop rotation, and retains water more effectively…Weeds are physically removed through a good ol fashioned hand hoe. No harsh chemicals are used and beneficial insects help protect the crop. When it’s time for the crop to rotate, instead of spraying the crop yet again with harsh chemicals like traditional, Mother Nature does its work through a freeze and the process starts all over again.
The importance of Organic Cotton for your children is an eco-conscious decision that promotes health and safety. Wouldn’t it be nice to use garments that have no harsh chemicals used to produce them…? That is SAMA baby. SAMA baby uses organic cotton for your precious loved ones because they know how important your little one is. Our favorite product by SAMA BABY is the Lucky Layette Gift Set, can you say ‘All in one fun’. The gift set offers a cute basket, towel, hat, romper, and so much more. http://www.vannybean.com/item_1406/Deluxe-Gift-Set.htm
We LOVE SAMA BABY!!!!

Vanity Fair Loves Sama Baby
A few years ago, when sisters Shivani and Neha Gupta were perusing options for eco-friendly baby apparel, they were sorely disappointed in the options available. “We only saw a few little onesies,” Neha says. “When you touched the material, it felt rough—almost like a potato sack. We knew that there had to be a better way.”
In 2006, that feeling led the sisters and their mother, Anita, to found Sama Baby Organics, an eco-friendly fashion company with a range of options for kids. The fashion-forward line uses eco-friendly materials (including organic cotton and nontoxic dyes) and processes and is inspired by their home country of India. Sama Baby Organics carries hoodies, tees, and jeans for boys, and halter-style dresses, mini-tunics, and capri leggings are available for girls. “When I’m designing, I definitely think of the different colors that look good on different skin tones,” Neha says. “The bright colors and neat prints are completely inspired by the romantic colors and textures of India.”
An ancient Sanskrit word, sama means balance, calmness, and serenity. Even as the label has grown, Shivani, who serves as C.E.O., and Neha, who is vice president and head designer, continue to visit India themselves and remain hands-on throughout the entire production process. “This is what makes the difference,” Neha says. “We know the language. We have a relationship with our manufacturers like that of family. I’m personally talking to the factory heads.”
The dichotomy between the East and the West has been on Neha’s mind since she was a painter in high school. “All of my paint subjects became focused on East and West,” she said. “What is the view of beauty in each? What are the cultures? What are the values?” With Sama Baby Organics, she continues to combine the best from each side of the world. “My designs are Western silhouettes with Eastern prints and colors. I never thought that all my interests would come together in synergy,” she says.
Although green fashion has recently gotten more attention, Neha says she’s proud that Sama Organics has been committed to sustainability from the start. “Eco-apparel is a totally different way of operating,” she explains. “From the factory working at higher standards to the required health-care regulations, it’s fair trade and organic through and through. It’s changing the standard of life and the way the world is affected.”
