Why Frugi Has Earned a Permanent Place in Our Shop
There are brands we stock at Baby Goes Retro because parents keep coming back for them. Frugi is one of those brands. The Cornish organic childrenswear company has been making GOTS certified cotton kids clothing since 2004, and the quality, fit, and longevity of their pieces consistently earns repeat purchases from Australian families who find them. Here are the Frugi pieces we recommend most.
Frugi Alfie Raglan Top
The Frugi Alfie Raglan Top is one of those pieces that earns its place through sheer wearability. The red and white breton stripe with a cheerful frog applique has the visual confidence of a statement piece, but the single-jersey organic cotton and relaxed fit make it an everyday workhorse. The raglan sleeve sits comfortably under a jacket or hoodie, and the fit is generous enough to layer over a bodysuit for cooler days.
The fabric is GOTS certified and stays soft through repeated machine washing, which matters when a top is getting worn two or three times a week. Shop the Frugi Alfie Raglan Top in our Frugi collection.
Frugi Durgan Cord Dungaree
Corduroy dungarees in a deep boat blue with a hand-stitched bear patch on the bib. This is the kind of piece that photographs beautifully and wears even better. The cord fabric gives these dungarees a slightly dressier feel than a standard jersey pair, the adjustable straps extend the fit across size jumps, and the GOTS certified organic cotton is both warm enough for an Australian winter and soft enough against baby skin.
These are a genuine investment piece: they outlast fast-fashion alternatives by years and are well worth passing on to a second child. Find the Frugi Durgan Cord Dungaree in our store.
Frugi Unicorn Forest Gift Set
For new parents or as a gift, the Frugi Unicorn Forest Gift Set is one of our most-loved newborn options. The set includes a zip romper, a coordinating hat, and comes packaged in Frugi's distinctive gift box, which means it arrives ready to give without any additional wrapping. The unicorn and forest print is applied to GOTS certified organic cotton that is genuinely soft from the first wear.
This is the kind of gift that a new parent actually uses and appreciates, because everything is pre-coordinated and sized to fit together. Shop the Frugi Unicorn Forest Gift Set for newborns.
Frugi Sofia Skater Dress
The Frugi Sofia Skater Dress in the Foxglove Rainbow Stripe is a seasonal favourite. The twirly skirt shape works for both dressed-up occasions and casual days out, the rainbow stripe print is vivid without being garish, and the long-sleeve cut makes it practical for Australian autumn and winter. Worn alone or layered over a bodysuit and leggings, this dress covers a lot of ground in a small child's wardrobe.
The GOTS certified organic cotton washes beautifully and the colours stay vivid across many cycles. Find the Frugi Sofia Skater Dress in our Frugi range.
What Makes Frugi Different
Every Frugi piece is made from GOTS certified organic cotton, which requires independent third-party verification at every stage of the supply chain. The brand designs for longevity, with generous fits and adjustable features that extend wear across size jumps. The prints are seasonal but not so trend-driven that they date quickly. And the brand has held its ethical manufacturing standards for over two decades, which is rare in kids clothing at any price point.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is Frugi clothing organic?
Yes. All Frugi clothing is made from GOTS certified organic cotton. GOTS is the Global Organic Textile Standard, independently verified by third-party auditors. It covers everything from how the cotton is grown through to the dyes and finishes used in production, ensuring no harmful chemicals come into contact with the finished garment.
Is Frugi available in Australia?
Yes. Baby Goes Retro stocks a curated selection of Frugi across baby and toddler sizing and ships Australia-wide. Browse our full Frugi range online or contact us if you are looking for a specific piece.
How does Frugi sizing run?
Frugi sizes generously. If your child is between sizes, most parents find it worth sizing up rather than down, particularly for pieces like dungarees and dresses where a roomier fit also extends the length of time you can wear the garment.
