Redsbaby

Serving as a beautiful gift to future generations, of a society where opportunities are freely available, regardless of gender.

This year's International Women's Day is appropriately themed: Inspire Inclusion. "When women themselves are inspired to be included, there's a sense of belonging, relevance, and empowerment. Worldwide, women must be included in all fields of endeavour." - International Women's Day

Such an action is a proven catalyst for driving societal development, improving school attendance and quality nutrition for children, and making strides in poverty and inequality reduction. A simple step for parents looking to encourage the inclusivity of women in business, is to be mindful of what you're buying for your growing bub.

To celebrate International Women’s Day this year, the Redsbaby team has handpicked a selection of our favourite baby brands led, designed, or run to support women. Consider these fantastic companies as you gear up for the arrival and growth of your child - we hope you love them as much as we do!

1. MOSOV Organics

A one woman run brand. Mosov's founder, Caroline, wears many hats from designing, sewing, marketing, and packing. Using sustainable practices and ethical fabrications, all products are made and designed in Australia. Mosov is more than a baby brand, the range includes women's and menswear as well.

2. Tara Treasures

A children and homewares brand that expands the quest to support female-built business internationally. Each piece is thoughtfully designed and created in Nepal by female artisans, who are offered training and employment. The brand ensures ethical and fair work practices, being regularly audited by Amfori, while products are tested by Intertek to confirm their safety and compliance for your family.

3. Kind Coconuts

The company sources their organic coconuts directly from farmers in Fiji, with emphasis on working with female suppliers. All products are then made locally in Australia.
