Why We Use Cotton Muslin and TENCEL™: The Story Behind Peachier Goods

Quick answer: Peachier Goods makes swaddles, blankets and crib sheets from 100% cotton muslin, and stretch swaddles and footie pajamas from TENCEL™ Modal. Our fabrics are OEKO-TEX® certified, every print is an original design, and our muslin swaddles are a generous 47" × 47".

What our products are made of

Why cotton muslin

Muslin's loose weave lets air move through it, so it works for swaddling, stroller covers, nursing covers and tummy time. It's lightweight, dries quickly and gets softer the more you wash it. That's why most of our swaddles and blankets are muslin.

Size matters too. Our swaddles are 47" × 47", which gives you enough fabric to wrap a newborn securely and keeps the swaddle useful long after the swaddling stage.

What OEKO-TEX® certified means

OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 certifies that the finished fabric was tested for harmful substances against set limits. It's a test of the fabric itself, not of how the cotton was farmed, which is different from an organic certification such as GOTS.

Why original prints

Every Peachier print is our own design. Georgia Peach, the watercolor peach our brand is named for, was the first. Hudson's western horses, Axel's vintage race cars and Gus's blue and tan geese followed. We design prints that coordinate across the swaddle, blanket, crib sheet and pajamas, so a whole nursery can match. See our peach nursery ideas or our western nursery guide.

Made for memories

A swaddle should outlast the swaddling stage. Ours become stroller covers, nursing covers, photo props and keepsakes. When your baby starts trying to roll, the AAP says it's time to stop swaddling. That often happens around 3 to 4 months, but it can start at 2 months (HealthyChildren.org). The swaddle itself keeps working long after.

Frequently asked questions

What's the difference between OEKO-TEX® and organic?

Organic certifications such as GOTS cover how the fiber is grown and processed. OEKO-TEX® Standard 100 tests the finished fabric for harmful substances. They answer different questions.

What is TENCEL™ Modal?

A soft, stretchy fiber we use for stretch swaddles and footie pajamas. It's softer and more durable than bamboo, and its stretch makes swaddling easier.

How big are your swaddles?

Our muslin swaddles are 47" × 47".
