BABICLO Beginnings - Blending the start of a new life and a sustainable brand ethos

In 2021, our son arrived—and with him, a clarity I'd never known.

As a pilot, I'd spent years navigating skies, trusting in precision and preparation. But holding this tiny human in my arms, I realized no flight plan could prepare me for the weight of this responsibility. Every choice suddenly mattered: what touched his skin, what he breathed in, what kind of world he'd inherit.

My wife and I dressed him in outfits that would last mere months. With each new size came a familiar pang - another purchase destined for landfill, another small contribution to the mountains of textile waste suffocating our planet.

For years in aviation, despite daily sustainability efforts, I'd felt the frustration of an industry that knew it needed to do more but couldn't always deliver. That's when a question began to consume me: What if I could do more - right here, right now, through the simplest act of dressing my child?

In the cockpit, I learned to trust checklists. So I created one for the clothes my son deserved:

✓ Zero waste. Not someday, but today. Plastic-free, organic, or upcycled.

✓ Exceptional quality. Beautifully crafted, authentically made - never mass-produced.

✓ Ethical production. Every pair of hands valued, every worker respected.

✓ Radical transparency. No greenwashing, no hidden supply chains - just truth.

Then came the revelation: If this doesn't exist, why don't we create it?

BABICLO was born from that moment of clarity - a sustainable children's brand as gentle on delicate skin as it is on our fragile planet. From our home in the UAE to our ethical manufacturing in Portugal, we've built something parents can trust completely.

Because our children deserve clothes chosen without compromise. And our planet deserves the same.

Love,
