What we do
little yucca is an eco-friendly label, designed for little ones in collaboration with illustrators who well reflect the naïve and playful world of childhood.
In little yucca, our collections are as gender neutral as possible. We never want to attach colors to kids as we believe all colors look good on all kids! This is basically our design philosophy… Bold colors and quirky illustrations are what defines us. The illustrations are either made for little yucca or specially selected by little yucca. On the label tag of each piece, you will find the name of the illustrator who shaped the artwork.
We design for little ones, so obviously their health and comfort is precious for us! We produce everything with GOTS certified 100% organic cotton. The fabrics are as soft as possible for the delicate skin and the designs are practical to dress. All illustrations are printed with water-based dyes.
This is actually all to create a unique alternative to babywear… And our biggest hope is to see a “little yucca” design becoming one of those all-time favorite pieces your little one has worn!
DESIGNING RESPONSIBLY
Our collections consist of functional but fun, timeless pieces that can become a part of kids' everyday lives. The idea is to make sure each piece can pass from kid to kid. Therefore most of our designs are gender neutral in terms of both style and color. We never want to attach colors to kids as we believe all colors look good on all kids.
We collaborate with illustrators in every collection and put their artwork on our timeless pieces and their name on the tag. This is because we also care for the amazing work that illustrators do for childrens clothing and think that they need to be praised. Finding their name on the tag of each piece is our way of applauding the artistry.
Functionality is a key element in Little Yucca designs. The sleepsuits always have double-way zippers, the tops for babies always have snaps on shoulder, the pants always have the softest elastic band... This is all to ease the dressing and the diaper changing processes that can sometimes become a burden for the parent and the little one. We don't sew tags on our pieces as we know, you always have to cut them. We care for the comfort of kids. The label and care instructions are printed inside the garnments.
SOURCING RESPONSIBLY
Our 100% organic cotton jersey, fleece and terry fabrics are produced for us in Turkey. Our brief for our fabric producer is always to ensure the softest touch. This because we care for the delicate skin of our users. And all our fabrics are GOTS certified. GOTS is the worldwide leading textile processing standard for organic fibres including ecological and social criteria.

We source our GOTS certified 100% organic cotton denim fabrics from Orta Anadolu, the largest denim fabric producer in Turkey, well known with their work on sustainable denim production. To create our denim line, we utilize the excess fabrics from their stocks and turn them into little
garnments.
