Babies enter the world pure and should remain so, but with the amount of chemicals found in the average baby product, it becomes hard for them to stay that way.   This is why Annie Totten decided to create Bloume Baby, an online destination for modern, eco-friendly clothing, toys and all other products related to baby.

Annie previously worked for big corporate retailers like Gap and Disney but wanted to create a retail experience that would embody her love of children, fashion and our planet.  Before having her first child, she birthed Bloume Baby in an effort to offer consumers an alternative to traditional products without sacrificing comfort, quality or style and still be healthy for the planet and baby.

On Bloume Baby you’ll find over 20 categories of items for baby, from organic skincare (Annie is a big fan of locally produced erbaviva), Plan Toys which are made from natural rubber trees with water based paints and Fair Trade labor and a variety of super cute baby fashions like Go Gently Baby which is also a company that is based in Los Angeles and uses organic cotton and safe dyes.  Bloume Baby also offers gift registries and a section for Momma that can be your one stop shop for your baby shower needs.

Annie hand selects, heavily researches and samples each item before it is listed on Bloume Baby.  She seeks out brands that have the right environmental intentions, are mindful about their footprint and who haven’t had an outlet to showcase their work.

Annie’s thoughts sum up why a company like Bloume Baby is so important these days.  “Babies come to us completely pure, I believe it is our daily duty and our place to protect them.  It is our responsibility to take care of each other and our planet.”
