Understanding and catering to the unique needs of your child is paramount. This is especially true for children with sensory sensitivities, where the wrong clothing can cause discomfort or distress. At Purple Kitten Store, we recognize this challenge and offer a solution through our bamboo fabric products.
Understanding Sensory Sensitivities
Sensory sensitivity involves an increased or decreased reaction to physical stimuli such as textures, sounds, or lights. For many children, clothing textures can be particularly bothersome, leading to irritation or anxiety. Parents often struggle to find clothes that are comfortable, functional, and stylish for their sensory-sensitive children.
In understanding sensory sensitivities, my journey as a mother to a child with autism and sensory sensitivities deeply influenced the creation of Purple Kitten Store. Finding clothing near Kamloops that was gentle on their senses and didn’t cause discomfort was a significant challenge. This personal experience became the cornerstone of Purple Kitten Store’s mission – to develop products that are sensitive to these unique needs, bringing comfort and relief to children with similar sensitivities.

Benefits of Bamboo Fabric
Bamboo fabric is a game-changer for sensory-sensitive children. Consider these 5 benefits:
- Softness: Bamboo fabric’s exceptional softness is a key benefit for children with sensory sensitivity. This softness means less irritation and a more comfortable experience for delicate skin, which is crucial for children who may react negatively to more abrasive materials.
- Hypoallergenic: The natural hypoallergenic properties of bamboo fabric make it ideal for sensitive skin. It reduces the risk of allergic reactions and skin irritations, providing a safer and more comfortable clothing option for children with sensitivities.
- Thermal Regulation: Bamboo fabric has excellent thermal-regulating properties. This means it helps maintain a comfortable body temperature, keeping children warm in the cold and cool in the heat, which is especially beneficial for those who may struggle with temperature regulation.
- Breathability: The breathability of bamboo fabric ensures better air circulation, reducing the likelihood of overheating. This feature is important for maintaining comfort, as children with sensory sensitivity often find it challenging to cope with feeling too hot.
- Moisture-Wicking: Bamboo’s moisture-wicking capabilities are essential for comfort. By drawing moisture away from the skin, it helps to keep children dry and comfortable, avoiding the discomfort that can come from damp or sweaty clothing.

The store’s clothing is not just about comfort; it’s about helping children to feel good in what they wear. They should be able to focus on exploring the world and having fun, rather than worrying about how uncomfortable they feel.
OEKO-TEX Certified
In addition to our thoughtful designs, all Purple Kitten Store products are proudly OEKO-TEX certified, ensuring they meet high environmental and safety standards. I carefully selected a manufacturer who is up-to-date with this certification, believing it is important that these fabrics are not being made ethically without harsh dyes and chemicals. This certification is a testament to Purple Kitten Store’s commitment to quality and sustainability, offering parents peace of mind about the fabrics touching their child’s skin.
