Summary of findings
The Simple Folk produces its organic childrenswear at a GOTS- and OEKO-TEX-certified factory in Portugal that it says runs on solar power and recycles its own well water. The Simple Folk uses a high proportion of GOTS-certified organic cotton, and GOTS covers most production stages, but The Simple Folk does not name the factory, disclose the cotton’s country of origin, or publish a supplier list.

Work out the real cost per wear
Use the price and realistic wear count to compare long-term value.
Cost per wear is the honest test behind "buy less, buy better": a £200 coat worn 300 times beats a £25 one worn 5 times. It rewards wearing what you own and choosing things built to last.
