Is
the price inclusive of GST?
All prices and
payments are in Australian dollars - and include a Goods and Services
Tax (GST). All prices advertised are inclusive of all taxes
applicable to the respective countries that the product is being
delivered in. This is a broad based tax on consumption, which applies
to the supply of most goods and services.
How big are your clothing sizes?
Heartsong products are generously sized, and so kids will get more wear out of our clothing.
Examples:
(1) A size 0-3M onesie or coverall will be likely to fit a very large newborn baby or an average-sized 3-month old.
(2) A size 12-18M T-shirt will be likely to fit a large 12-month old, a medium 18-month old, or even a small-sized 2-yr old. Our T-shirts do fit better on children with broader shoulders. A singlet worn underneath can aid to improve the fit for narrower shoulders.

1. Better for humans
The US President’s Cancer Panel have recently reported that (non-organic) farmers, workers and their families have a much higher rate of cancer than the rest of the population. In addition, children living near those communities have a significantly higher rate of leukeamia.
Only about 400 of the 80,000 chemicals used on US crops have been tested and found to be safe for humans. The EPA (USA) considers the majority of the top pesticides used on cotton as “likely” or “known” human carcinogens.
Skin is the largest absorptive human organ, and baby’s skin is 5 times thinner than adults. Think about what we put on our skin. What are all those chemicals doing to our & our children’s health?
Choose organic to reduce your and your children’s exposure to harmfulchemicals and toxins. Don’t take the risk!
2. Better for the environment
More pesticides are used on cotton than any other crop around the world. Pesticides harm soil organisms, freshwater ecosystems, fish, migratory species: insects, birds and mammals.
It only takes 5-6 years for a pest to develop a tolerance to a pesticide. Therefore, stronger (and potentially more harmful) chemicals are continually being developed.
In contrast, organic cotton farming rejects the use of chemical pesticides and synthetic fertilisers.
3. Better quality fabric
Organic cotton is super-soft & gentle on baby’s sensitive skin.
Organic clothing is easy to care for and withstands more “wear and tear”.
Organic cotton fabrics are more absorbent of excess moisture.
Heartsong
products are certified organic to the highest standard by Control
Union. In addition, Heartsong products are ethically made in a
sweatshop-free conditions that comply with International Labor
Organization (ILO) standards.
So, choose Heartsong – you’ll
FEEL the difference and MAKE a difference!
Bamboo is the fastest-growing plant in the world. It can be grown organically without pesticides and with minimal water. It’s highly sustainable and renewable.
The viscose from bamboo fabric is super-absorbent of excess moisture.
It has insulating properties (similar to silk and wool), yet is very light to wear.
It's widely regarded to have hypo-allergenic properties and is a popular fabric for eczema sufferers, as it's gentle and comfortable for those with sensitive skin conditions.
Heartsong’s viscose from bamboo clothing is incredibly super-soft – you have to feel it to believe it!
