About the Clothing
What materials are used in Horsey's luxury baby clothing?
At Horsey, we use a premium, custom-made cashmere and cotton blend chosen for its exceptional softness, breathability, and durability. Our fabric is hand-crafted to be gentle on a baby's delicate skin while standing up to the demands of everyday wear.
Is cashmere safe for newborns?
Yes - high-quality cashmere is naturally hypoallergenic and incredibly soft, making it an excellent choice for newborn skin. Our cashmere blend is free from harsh chemicals and designed with sensitive skin in mind.
What's the difference between cashmere and merino wool for babies?
Both are premium natural fibres, but cashmere is generally softer and lighter than merino wool. Merino is known for its temperature-regulating properties, and while cashmere also has temperature-regulating properties, it offers an unmatched luxurious feel. Our blend combines the best of both worlds.
Are your baby clothes machine washable?
Yes! We know life with a baby is busy, so all Horsey Baby pieces are designed to be machine washable up to 30 degrees Celsius. We recommend a gentle cold cycle in a mesh laundry bag to keep your pieces looking their best.
Quality & Testing Standards
Are Horsey Baby clothes tested to Australian Standards?
Yes. Our fabrics are tested against Australian Standards for shrinkage, colour fastness (fading), and pilling — so you can be confident that your Horsey Baby pieces will look and feel beautiful wash after wash. We believe that premium baby clothing should not only feel luxurious from day one, but maintain that quality throughout its life.
Sizing & Fit
How do I choose the right size for my baby?
Our size guide includes age ranges to help you find the best fit. As babies grow at different rates, we have included 'grow with baby' features such as contrasting coloured cuffs - fold up for newborns, and down as they grow, and a double row of studs on the Horsey Short Suit to extend the body length for extended wear.
Do luxury baby clothes run small or large?
Horsey baby clothing is designed with a comfortable, relaxed fit. We recommend checking our size guide before purchasing.
What size should I buy for a newborn gift?
When buying as a gift, we recommend 00000 for preemie or smaller newborns, 0000 for newborns, 0000 for 0-3 months, 000 for 3-6 months, 00 for 6-9 months and 0 for 9-12 months and sometimes beyond! Babies grow quickly and a slightly larger size will get more wear - and with Horsey baby clothing features, your newborn or baby gift could last longer than expected!
Quality & Value
Why are premium baby clothes worth the investment?
Premium baby clothing is made to last. Our pieces are crafted from high-quality materials that hold their shape, colour, and softness wash after wash - making them ideal for hand-me-downs or future siblings. Cost-per-wear on a well-made piece is often far lower than fast-fashion alternatives.
How long will my baby wear each size?
On average, babies wear each size for around 2–3 months, though this varies. Our relaxed fits are designed to allow a little extra room so your baby may get some extended wear from Horsey.
Are Horsey baby clothes unisex?
Yes - our entire range is designed to be gender-neutral, featuring equestrian inspired, earthy, natural colour palettes that work beautifully for any baby.
Care & Sustainability
How do I wash cashmere baby clothes?
Machine wash on a gentle cold cycle inside a mesh laundry bag, using a mild detergent. Lay flat to dry away from direct sunlight or heat. Avoid wringing or tumble drying to preserve the shape and softness of the fabric.
Are your clothes ethically made?
We are committed to responsible sourcing and ethical production. Our pieces are designed in Australia with quality and longevity at the forefront - because clothing that lasts is clothing that's better for the planet.
