Has Green Baby gone under?

20 replies

BlueMonday17 · 19/10/2012 18:08

I've tried the Green Baby website a couple of times recently and keep getting a message about 'our site is undergoing maintenance'. www.greenbaby.com I've just done a google search and came across this page, insolventcompanies.com/green-baby-trading-limited/ which suggests the company's been wound up as of 4 October. It's a real shame if this is true. Does anyone know any more about this?

It does seem strange, they had only just launched their Autumn range. I agree it is a real shame if it is true, I love their stuff.

WhispersOfWickedness · 22/10/2012 14:29

Oh no, I was wondering this and then came across this thread when googling. Such a shame, they did lovely stuff which we've bought in the past :(

TheDeathAndGlories · 22/10/2012 14:30

Thinking about it I haven't had any of their emails recently.
Spirit of nature did this recently
They had been bought and are back

My local tk maxx had lots of green baby clothing when I was last in there. I thought that odd as hadn't seen it on sale there before.

I thought I saw Ocado stocking it?

Hang on green baby

Yes, it went under in September when investors pulled out but may return with new backing

WhispersOfWickedness · 22/10/2012 14:46

Really hope they are able to come back!

BlueMonday17 · 22/10/2012 23:21

Hope they come back then. Their boys' clothes were really nice and without the usually obligatory skulls/camouflage/skateboards etc you see on so many clothes for boys under 8.

The shop in Greenwich was rebranded Maggie and Tom, which one of the ladies working there said allowed them to sell child clothes as well as baby clothes.

Green Baby was selling through John Lewis, as well, so maybe came unstuck with not controlling its retail outlets/distribution?

I heard the investors pulled out unexpectedly, I was talking to someone who used to work for them the other day.

Hedgehog2 · 25/10/2012 22:49

Yes, the investors pulled out. Not sure if someone will buy them but there are alternatives. My favourite is www.littlegreenradicals.co.uk

They are organic and Fairtrade and slightly more fun than green baby.

Looks like Little Green Radicals is kind of taking over some business. They mention this is their blog and they're offering 30% off at checkout if you use the code 'greenbaby'.

There range is nice but seems a bit limited to babygros and cutesy tees. I much prefer Green Baby so hoping they expand to include all the stuff GB used to.

ConfessionsofaMumpreneur · 29/11/2012 11:47

Im afraid Green baby has gone under :( such a shame! there are loads of places that you can get good Organic clothes from that are a bit different and dont just do baby stuff.

Little green radicals
Frugi
KyNa Boutique
Little Shrimp
Also some of the high street like Zara and H&M have started doing it x

Has anyone spotted Green baby clothes for sale recently? My little boy modeled for the autumn catalogue and I was hoping to get hold of a couple of items he wore in the photo shoot. What happened to all the stock in the shop in London?

Sheepasaurus · 27/12/2012 20:31

They had some stuff in TK maxx recently Naturalbaby

naturalbaby · 27/12/2012 21:13

Thank you!

BikeRunSki · 27/12/2012 21:22

Frugi / Cut for Cloth are a good alternative to Green Baby.

NaturalBaby · 27/12/2012 22:01

Yes, I love Frugi stuff too. I was just about to buy some of the clothes DS wore for the last Green Baby photo shoot but left it too late.
