Peace House Studio is a collection of sustainable play clothes. Based in Bath, Maine, Peace House Studio creates fun sustainable play clothes from sturdy, soft and stretchy organic cotton. The company was founded by husband-and-wife team Kate Wiebe Bergmann and Nick Bergmann. The idea for sustainable play clothes came to them through the course of raising their 3 young children who seemed to go through clothing very rapidly.
What makes Peace House Studio's collection of sustainable play clothes unique is their innovative buy back program called the Patches Project. When customers of the popular family friendly brand have outgrown or damaged their Peace House Studio playclothes, the company buys them back and upcycles them. Once returned, the pre-loved pieces are cleaned, mended and resold – thus creating a cyclical program that reduces the need for raw materials as well as discarded garments.
