“Clothes could have more meaning and longevity if we think less about owning the latest or cheapest thing and develop more of a relationship with the things we wear” -Elizabeth L. Cline.

Organic Baby Clothing – Choose The Judicious Way Of Shopping For Babies

For new and expecting parents, a few things look as adorable as a cute baby outfit. But one thing that still gets little attention is the quality of the clothes we put on our babies’ sensitive skin. The clothes we find in retail stores or online have often been treated with industrial chemicals that may be harmful, even if they boast to be 100% cotton. As children are most vulnerable to toxins present in clothes, there is a growing urge and need to be conscious and mindful shoppers for them. 

Mainstream clothing is full of harmful chemicals, and the chance for newborns to absorb harmful chemicals from their clothes is much higher. So it’s advisable to use organic clothing as it keeps the baby’s skin free from these harsh chemicals. Unlike conventional cotton clothes, organic cotton is not only safe and toxic–free but also more durable and comfortable. The authenticity of an organic cotton garment can be ascertained by locating the certificate from GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard). 

Offering such sustainable organic clothes for your loved ones, curating the best of both worlds- adorably cute and eco-friendly clothing is a Tamil Nadu based startup firm called “Fluffy Munchkin”. Launched in 2021 by Mary Lydia, the brand offers premium clothing that deals with organic cotton and muslin products for newborns offering all baby essentials. 

Fluffy Munchkin- Merging Comfort With Style

From jablas, burp cloths, aprons & bibs, swaddles, towels, rompers, nappies, blankets, sets and many more, the brand offers a wide range of premium quality products at an affordable price. The key differentiator for the brand is the fabric they procure using the highest quality GOTS (Global Organic Textile Standard) certified organic cotton that is further processed, dyed and printed with azo-free dyes. Their genuine organic products are breathable lightweight cotton fabrics that are comfortable, hypoallergenic and require minimal maintenance. 

Not only are their fabrics skin-friendly, but get passed through a detailed thought process where all the tiny additions from fit, aesthetics, and palette to print are taken care of with utmost priority considering the safety of the loved ones. 

Necessity Is The Mother Of Invention 

As Mary stepped into the journey of motherhood, she scoured many websites and articles to know about chemical-free natural clothes for her child. Having completed her B.E and MBA in HR and Marketing, she gathered all the business acumen and skills that helped her with launching her brand. After working for 4 years in corporate, she finally quit her job and started her brand “Fluffy Munchkin” offering that cosy, comfortable and fluffy experience that every baby needs.

In today’s times when dependence on information technology is at its peak, the significance of information security cannot really be overemphasized. Organizations need to find ways to secure their priority information from unauthorized access, data breaches and other malicious activities that can lead to loss of business as well as reputation in the market.

For companies which are committed to minimizing the risks of internal and external attacks on information security systems, it makes sense to seek guidance from experts instead of handling everything on their own. That’s where The Next Consultants chips in.

Launched in 2019 by Divesh, The Next Consultants provides professional security training and assistance to college students, security professionals and organizations throughout the globe. It aims to spread awareness about IT security within an organization, help identify the security vulnerabilities and suggest what actions to be taken in case of incidents in and outside the organization. The startup intends to create market leaders out of regular businesses by taking care of a vital aspect of a company’s progress: information.

How it started from scratch

Before Divesh’s entrepreneurial journey took off, he was working in the IT industry where he got plenty of opportunities to interact with clients and provide them services related to security and consulting. He observed how most people struggle to grasp the basic concepts of  information security which makes it difficult to explain the potential risks and challenges and also the solutions being offered. Divesh adds ” That’s why I decided to offer skill development as part of security training so that the working professionals get a fair idea about how information security works. We’re also preparing these impressionable youngsters for interviews.”

Thus, at the age of 27, Divesh launched his own brand to make a difference in the realm of information security without compromising on quality and affordability. Why call it The Next Consultants though? Divesh explains “We’re offering the best service in the market with respect to consulting. Unlike other big brands that simply offer manpower, we go an extra mile to assess the actual scope and activity required. Hence, it’s aptly named The Next Consultants.”

Making security accessible and affordable

The Next Consultants is well-equipped to deal with a variety of security threats and loopholes in the field of networks, databases, operating systems and other components security. The company employs its technical expertise to take charge of any security risk encountered by a business of any scale and stature. You can be assured of high ROI by outsourcing your IT management to The Next Consultants. That’s because you’re now free to focus on your business with an assurance that your systems are well-protected.

Moreover, the Delhi-based startup provides different types of compliance certifications to train individuals to deal with risks posed by information systems. Its services include ISO 27001, PCI DSS, GDPR, ISO 14001 and so on.

Divesh further adds “Many renowned institutes train for 7 days, charge around 30k-40k and yet they fail to convey the basic essence of information security and why it’s needed. We, on the other hand, offer one-on-one training at minimal prices while ensuring every student of ours gets placed. The courses last for 4 weeks, covering basic and advanced levels, providing hands-on experience on the subject.” The focus is on building awareness about information security and how it works in real-life scenarios.

What’s next for The Next Consultants?

The Next Consultants aspires to provide an experience that’s tailor-made for your company’s security needs. No matter what’s your budget, the startup diligently works towards providing a professional customer experience.

When asked about his future endeavors, Divesh confirms “Since we’re teaching globally with students coming in from Dubai, Singapore etc, we’re planning to expand our scope of training by adding other courses in the domain of consultancy, thus bringing in more global leaders in the market.”

“Cruelty is one fashion statement we can all do without.”- Rue McClanahan

Ever wondered what goes into the making of a classy, dainty leather bag that we proudly flaunt. The animal skin that goes into the making of a leather bag is not worth any price a customer can pay as the cruelty they go through cannot justify any glitz and glamour. Stella McCartneya, the first luxury fashion designer to never use animal skins emphasises that there is simply no reason for animals to ever be killed or skinned for fashion, but unfortunately this simple, just concept is not yet mainstream. To quote her, “As a designer, I like to work with fabrics that do not bleed. That is why I avoid all animal skins.”

To quote her, “As a designer, I like to work with fabrics that do not bleed. That is why I avoid all animal skins.” 

So now, as the customers are choosing more nature-friendly & sustainable fashion brands, many accessories and bag brands are turning to ethical practices. Stepping into the shoes of such moralistic & trending practices is a Chennai-based bag brand “Artistitch” founded by Shruti Shah in 2019 that offers trendy chic classic vegan leather bags in a luxurious look with affordable pricing. 

The Brand’s Ideation and Uniqueness

Having completed her B.A in Electronic Media and Masters in Entrepreneurship from Pune, Shruti always wanted to tap an industry which can best leverage her photo & designing skills. The clothing and apparel business was one of the options that she ideated on, but having a market which was already flooded with many players, she eventually zeroed down to take up the conceptual bag designs which were different from the usual handbags in terms of the fabric, personalization, functionality & affordability. Following her dreams coupled with her vigour & passion and the skills she possessed, Shruti launched her classic vegan leather bag range called Artistitch. 

Artistitch stands for “Artist + Stitch” and is an ode to all those artisans whose work has probably gotten lost behind big brands and flimsy labels. The brand specializes in classic vegan leather bags technically known as PU/PVC leather and offers an array of collection such as laptop bags, duffle bags, satchels, sling bags, and classic panel totes which provides an amazing option for colour change as the outside panels are removable and can be fitted & matched according to to outfit with the 4-5 colour options. 

Not only are the bags classy and functional, but also exquisite! They offer a laser engraved labelled tag with personalized names or any word that best describes the user. The brand has served so far 800+ happy bag lovers Pan India and has also collaborated with a leading magazine & its influencer Malvika Raj. Their amazing products can be grabbed through their website and social marketing platforms like Instagram & Facebook. The brand envisages growing with conceptual bag designs that look opulent and at the same time are economical for all.
