Q&A: Understanding Organic Cotton Muslin
It seems to be everywhere these days; organic cotton muslin products for baby + kids. We sat down with our founders Benita and Jess to find out what it is, why the fabric is so popular and what to look for when buying it.
Founders’ Picks: Spring Green Living
As a team, we’ve been setting and tracking goals for 2018 and as company founders, we’ve been personally focused on how we can integrate our passion for green and socially responsible living into our day-to-day purchases. We’ve rounded up some of our favorite Spring purchases that give back and are ethically made.
Our Travel Essentials

It's always energizing to share months of creative and logistical work with our customers, but it's also a busy few weeks of airplanes, hotel rooms + eating out.

zestt X Magnolia Market | Fall 2018 Collection
Collaborating with Magnolia Market on organic cotton textiles for their online and retail stores has become one of our favorite partnerships. The Magnolia aesthetic perfectly marries character and freshness in a way that always inspires and it's so fun to take that foundation and mix it with their seasonal inspiration to create soft and comfy items for their store.
Stockist Highlight: Meet Pineapple on Main
Meet Pineapple on Main (POM). A beautifully curated boutique of home decor and giftware located in the heart of Historic Manayunk, just outside of Philadelphia, PA. This stockist in particular holds a very special place in our hearts.
Why Organic Matters
