SUSTAINABILITY
Working in the childrenswear industry for over a decade has taught us one thing for sure. Nobody’s too small to make a difference.
We are not afraid to rethink fashion, and carefully consider everything we do. From the design to fabrics we use, all the way to what happens to our clothes after we are done with them: every step matters. We might be a small team but we partner with others to reduce our impact on the planet and people. We are dedicated to making a more just and sustainable future.
Because that’s exactly the future we want our children to have.
MATERIALS
So far, the majority of our fabrics are made from natural and organic fabrics. Yet, with every new collection, we are increasing this. We have reduced the proportion of virgin synthetic fibres in our clothing and replaced some with recycled polyester. Currently, 95% of our collection is made with organic cotton.
This way, we are making our clothes safe for the planet and those wearing them.
In the future, we plan to phase out the synthetics as much as possible. Instead, we are looking to introduce new fabrics with a lower eco-footprint. Additionally, we are finding ways to reuse the leftover scraps from our production and reduce fabric waste.
MANUFACTURERS
Producing ethically has always been at the core of our business. We are serious about understanding and knowing where our clothes come from. We do not support practices like child labour, slavery, unpaid working hours, or lack of social security.
Thus, have been partnering with trusted manufacturers in Portugal, Bulgaria, and Turkey for years. We have visited these factories ourselves, to see how and where our clothes are made.
Our partner factories are well recognised and carry certifications like GOTS, OEKO-TEX. They also have a strong corporate social responsibility policy. Together, we are working on sourcing better fabrics, reducing our production waste, and aligning our businesses with the UN’s Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
SHIPPING AND PACKAGING
Packaging is a big part of any fashion business. We switched partly to a plastic-free and recycled carton and paper packaging to reduce our impact and waste.
Our next goal is to reduce the transportation footprint.
The suppliers we work with choose to ship by land rather than air, to reduce the transport footprint. They are also starting to use recycled materials to transport our clothes. We are encouraging them to further increase recycled materials in their packaging.
CIRCULARITY
Everyone deserves a safe future, where the clothes we wear don’t cost the planet but help us thrive.
This is why our clothes are made to last. We want children not only to wear the clothes but to #GrowUpWithBaBa.
With every purchase, we encourage you to make the most use of the clothes. This includes taking proper care of them but also passing them on to other children. Our clothes now come with detailed washing and caring instructions, printed on recycled cotton.
We play our part in this too. Every year, we partner with a local charity to donate parts of our clothes to children in need. This way, we give life to as many of our garments as we can, rather than wasting them.
Yet, we aim to do more.
We are planning something we call a Ba*Ba repair day. This will be an annual event where everyone is invited to come and repair clothes for themselves and others. Though our clothes are made with quality in mind, they still get ripped and worn out during playtime or outdoors adventures. We want to encourage mending and repairing the clothes first.

BCF Confection
BCF ConfectionAbout BCF Confection
In 1954 great-grandmother Germaine De Dier started manufacturing coats and accessories in Haaltert (Belgium). The economy revived after WWII and many family-owned textile companies in East and West Flanders also benefited from this. It was the start of a thriving family business that, generation after generation, expanded and perfected its knowledge and experience.
60 years of knowledge and experience under one roof
The knowledge and experience of textile manufacturing has shifted to offshore production countries in the last twenty years. As a family-owned company, we have been passing on our knowledge from generation to generation for over 60 years. Our employees are all technically skilled in textile manufacturing and provide you with advice in all areas. Our employees are intensively trained and supported.
Our commitment:
high-quality and sustainable textiles are the standard
BCF Confection is committed to providing the best quality in textiles, manufactured in the best possible conditions for people and the environment.
Quality.
We attach great importance to high-standard raw materials and a high-quality finishing. We make almost exclusively use of Coats yarns from Europe’s leading industrial thread company providing high-quality yarns for every application, and use Juki and Brother sewing machines. With our advanced software, we draw 2D/3D patterns.
Good working conditions. In our production unit in Tunisia, we work in the spirit of the Fair Wear foundation. We offer the best possible social working conditions to all our employees and are happy to work with customers who are a member of the Fair Wear Foundation.
Environmental awareness. In each step of the production process, we pay attention to the impact of textile manufacturing on the environment. All our raw materials are OEKO-TEX® certified: the manufactured fabrics do not contain any residues of harmful substances like pesticides or heavy metals. During production, we deal thoroughly with the water and energy consumption.
Production possibilities
As a local Belgian textile manufacturer, we are happy to share our expertise with you and advise you on the feasibility and cost of your projects. We manufacture your textile design through the process of cut, make and trim (CMT) or as ready-made garment (RMG). Flexible order quantities and short delivery deadlines are our biggest assets. In our own production unit in Tunisia, we manufacture your fabrics in limited order quantities from 20 pieces on with a fast delivery time of 2 to 4 weeks.
