I'm looking for a list of wholesale suppliers for ethical baby
clothing blanks in the UK.
Someone who supplies infant t-shirts, onesies or bodysuits (from birth
up to 3 years of age).
Which are plain (assorted colours are good) ready for printing. 
In wholesale quantities.
They need to be ethically produced e.g. fairtrade or maybe organic. I
presume they will be cotton - but alternative fabrics are acceptable
If there are no suitable UK based suppliers then some non-uk suppliers
would be acceptable if they include the UK within their shipping
options and their environmental credentials offset the shipping
issues.

Hello topcitybird,

Here are the sources of organic/fair-trade/sweatshop-free baby apparel
that I could find for you. At the end, I have included a few baby
boutiques that meet your requirements but for which I could not
ascertain for certain whether they sell in wholesale quantities. It is
past UK business hours so I can't call them at this time of the night
to ask.

Ecoland
fairtrade and organic
I don't see why they would not be willing to ship to the UK for
wholesale purposes, but it does not say anything on their website
about international orders. They do have a special wholesale inquiry
email address which I have provided for the purpose below.

"All of our garments are sustainable processed and sewn in a
sweatshop-free environment."

I'd have loved to find more suppliers in the UK - but I think your
