Focus on Lotus Bèbè
LotusBèbè, created by Mommy Entrepreneur Kathleen Raulin. who said, “I couldn’t find stylish baby accessories that were also environmentally friendly for my own son. There were very few options out there, and what I found was pretty boring,” uses bamboo and soybean fabrics.
Bamboo is a natural textile made from the pulp of the bamboo grass. Bamboo is by nature pest resistant and grown naturally without the use of pesticides or fertilizers and uses very little rain water.
Bamboo also regenerates quickly and can be harvested repeatedly. The soybean fabric is produced by using the leftover dregs of tofu and soybean oil production and spinning the proteins into threads.
Soybean is sustainable because it uses what would have been waste and turning it into something useful, namely soybean fabric. Both these fabrics naturally resist bacteria, keep out harmful UV rays, and are biodegradable.
Lotus Bèbè was created in Southern California, in 2008, out of a need for stylish baby accessories that were also environmentally friendly. They discovered the unique properties of bamboo and soybean fabrics and started looking for items made with either.
Trying to find items made from bamboo and soybean was challenging, due to the fact that no one was carrying these items. So the idea of Lotus Bèbè was started.
The product line was launched with hip mommas and poppas in mind, who want to give their children something natural, eco-friendly but at the same time luxurious.
