China has been getting a very bad rap for their poor working conditions and toxic factories. Although some of the rumors are true and heartbreaking, there are many factories that use humane labor practices and provide living wages for Chinese families. Twig carries a few brands that are produced in China - they are sweatshop and cruelty free.

The devastating earthquake in China has really been on my mind lately - I wonder if the people who made these cute little clothes are okay. So, from today until an announced date, Twig is donating 15% of purchases on merchandise made in China to the Mercycorps relief fund. Every little bit helps. Brands include Babylegs, All Weather Woobee, EGG baby, and a few more.

I will put a gold star on qualifying items, but feel free to ask in case I miss one!

Here is a recent Guardian article covering how children have been affected by the earthquake.

warm regards,
