Our story

We work with a family-run manufacturer in Turkey and every single product we make together is thoughtfully created. Our manufacturers are based in Turkey's Aegean textile hub and partnered with us to create the best and softest organic cotton towels and blankets possible. 

Each piece is completely custom-made for Droplet, 100% organic cotton (Oeko-tex and GOTS certified), handloomed, and ethically sourced. A lot of products are labelled "organic" but are sprayed with toxins after the crop is grown. These certifications mean that our materials are 100% organic—from the way the crops are grown, to how they are treated afterwards, to the dyes that are used, to how they are made. These are the highest certifications organic cotton can receive, so you know these products come from a good place and are as pure as can be.

I wanted a soft, quality towel to wrap my son in after bathtime. (Let’s be real, I was exhausted and wanted this for myself too.) I wanted to know the products I used came from a good place, and were made with the same care I swaddled him with. I wanted it at the click of a button, delivered to my front door. I couldn't find this anywhere—I didn't want to trawl department store aisles and I didn't want cheaply made, unethical products—so I created it myself.

Our product line is intentionally kept minimal. We don't have a high turnover of products and we won't be releasing new product after new product. When we expand, it's because there is a need, and because we have found a sustainable and environmentally responsible way to source it. We ship our products by freight rather than air, which not only makes our carbon footprint smaller, but cuts down the cost to get them in your hands, too.

About me 
 

My new axis—the way my world turned—was forever changed when I became a mother. For me, it was my kids that recalibrated my life. For you, it could be something else. But I knew that parenthood was my journey to rediscover myself. 

It may sound counterintuitive, but I founded Droplet because my life was full. Full of love, noise, mess, chaos, laughter, tears, and new rituals. Like sneaking in the briefest of self care with a 90-second shower, soaking in the joy of bath time, and relishing the cozy evenings curled in a blanket on the sofa once the littles were (finally!) asleep.

I searched for months to find the best manufacturers possible and then hopped on a plane to Turkey to make sure! So there I was, in a small town in Turkey visiting dye houses, yarn suppliers, and designing each piece, with a tape measure and Pantone books in my back pocket. I hope you enjoy these pieces as much as I enjoyed creating them for you.
