Everybody’s going green these days, and at House of Mongrel™, we think kids should be leading the way. It’s about them, after all: Organic cotton, dyes that don’t pollute the water supply, fair labor practices—this stuff all adds up to a healthier population and a better future. 
But as parents, uncles, and aunts, we’re also really tuned into what kids care about most: having fun. All of our clothes are built to stand up to serious play. Our vintage-styled, screen-printed designs feature images that both kids and parents love: Robots? Absolutely. Aliens? Bring ‘em on. A little peace, please? No problem.
Brown Bag Brands LLC is a small, family company, based in Brooklyn, New York and Washington, DC. Our first creation is House of Mongrel™, the eco-friendly line of baby-and-toddler apparel that you see here. Take a look around; we’re pretty proud of it so far!
Our immediates consists of short- and long-sleeve bodysuits and t-shirts, long-sleeve 2-fers, pants, skull caps, and hooded sweatshirts, all made with 100% certified organic cotton and featuring low-impact dyes and inks. We designed our styles to be mixed, matched, layered. And if you like, you can give them to your friends in our awesome gift box!
Starting with our two most recent collections, we're now manufacturing right here in the United States. We’re excited to be “local,” and we know there's no better time to buy American. Of course, everything in our new collection is made with 100% certified organic cotton and low-impact dyes and inks.
We’re coming up with new ideas all the time, so keep checking back with us, and we’ll let you in on the fun!
We decided to take a BIG step last August: We're reducing our carbon footprint and doing our small part to save American jobs by moving our manufacturing to the U.S.A.!
We know… by now you may be weary of green-washing. Words like organic, eco-friendly, and green are used so often that they’ve started to lose their meaning. Does it really make a difference, you might wonder, to put your kid an in “organic cotton” t-shirt?
Well yeah, it does. The ingredients may be a little more expensive, but we'll all save in the long run—thanks to a healthier population, more sustainable production, and, plain and simple, better quality products. We didn’t get into this business to save the world. But we couldn’t in good conscience create kid-focused products and not do it in the most responsible ways we know how.
