How It All Started

Initially overwhelmed by the amount of baby products she had to buy. She wanted to dress her baby in cute and cozy outfits, while avoiding synthetic fabrics that could harm their baby’s skin or the planet. She searched for organic and natural baby clothing, but was disappointed by the limited options, lack of prints and the high prices.

Taking matters into her own hands she created her own brand of travel inspired baby clothing, using bamboo as the main material. Bamboo primarily because it is one of the most sustainable and renewable plants on Earth, and it can be turned into a soft and silky fabric called viscose bamboo. Learning how to source, design, and produce bamboo baby rompers, the online store, Basically Soho was launched.

What Makes Viscose Bamboo So Soft and Stretchy

Viscose bamboo, also known as bamboo rayon, is a type of semi-synthetic fiber that is derived from the bamboo plant. The bamboo plant is fast-growing, requires little water and pesticides, and can be harvested without damaging the soil. The bamboo stalks are crushed and soaked in a solution that breaks down their cellulose, which is then extracted and spun into threads. The threads are then woven or knitted into a fabric that has many desirable qualities.

Viscose bamboo is soft and smooth, with a texture similar to silk or cashmere. It is also stretchy and flexible, allowing it to fit snugly and comfortably on the baby’s body. Viscose bamboo is also breathable and moisture-wicking, meaning it can regulate the baby’s temperature and keep them cool and dry. Viscose bamboo is also hypoallergenic and antibacterial, meaning it can prevent skin irritation and odors. Viscose bamboo is also durable and easy to care for, as it can be machine-washed and tumble-dried.

Destination-Inspired Designs

One of the most distinctive features of Basically Soho is their destination-inspired designs. Basically Soho was founded to infuse the love of travel and culture into the baby clothing, the idea was to create prints based on different places around the world.

The core pieces, the Amalfi and Miami range, were inspired by their favorite vacation spots. The Amalfi range features prints of citrus, spritz, floral and the beach, to pay homage to the gorgeous Italian coast town. The Miami range features prints of palm trees, beach, cabana and vice.

A Jet Set Baby book for each destination, which includes facts, photos, and activities related to the place is included with every purchase. The books are a fun and educational way to introduce the baby to different cultures and languages, and to spark their curiosity and imagination.
