Description

Long-sleeved kimono bodysuit with fold-over cuffs in organic merino wool and silk, from the German ecological brand Cosilana. An extremely soft, thin and warm bodysuit, designed to be worn directly on the skin from birth.

Kimono opening at the front with discrete snap buttons, sewn on the inside and not in direct contact with the skin.
Integrated mittens (fold-over sleeves) to prevent the baby from scratching their face during sleep.
Ideal for the maternity ward and the first few days, especially when you don't want to or can't pull clothes over the head.
Enveloping "second skin" cut, without compression.

This is the essential first layer garment, the one that directly influences the body's overall thermoregulation.

This precious layer, made of untreated natural fibers, keeps the skin dry. The dried air can then be warmed by our own body heat and retained by the intermediate layer of pure wool worn over it.

The first layer is the most important. It is in direct contact with the skin and dictates the body's entire thermoregulation. It must be natural!

Its role is not to "heat," but to:

absorb moisture (perspiration),
keep the skin dry,
create a thin layer of dry air around the body.

Untreated wool (or wool-silk) is particularly effective for this function, unlike synthetic fibers that retain moisture against the skin.

The wool and silk blend combines:

the thermoregulating and breathable properties of wool,
Silk is an exceptionally smooth and fine natural fiber, renowned for its softness and comfort on the skin.
It creates an enveloping sensation, like a textile cocoon, respectful and soothing, which protects the skin from rubbing and external aggressions. On the skin, silk reproduces this cocoon sensation: an incredibly smooth, enveloping and soothing touch, which respects the skin and creates a soft barrier between the body and the environment. Combined with merino wool, it transforms this garment into a true living second skin, protective, breathable and naturally comfortable.

Color:

Ecru

Available sizes:

50/56cm, 62/68cm

Understanding Cosilana sizes

At Cosilana, each size is designed to last until the next size. For example: a size 86/92 is designed to cover the entire growth period up to the next size, i.e., approximately from 86 to 98 cm (and often beyond depending on the child's body shape).

Therefore, it is not a garment strictly limited to 86-92 cm, but an evolving size designed to accompany growth over an extended period.

Merino wool 70% / silk 30%

Cosilana clothing is made exclusively from high-quality natural fibers. The brand uses merino wool, fine silk, and organic cotton, as well as blends of these natural fibers, selected for their softness, breathability, and comfort against the skin.

These materials come from controlled organic farming and livestock breeding, without chemical pesticides or synthetic additives.

Untreated wool/silk garments do not need to be washed after each use.

• Routine maintenance

Regular ventilation in the open air (outdoors if possible, or in front of an open window)
Rest after each use: hang on a hanger or drying rack and do not leave crumpled up)
Spot clean stains under running water with Ulrich gall soap or genuine Marseille soap

• Complete wash (when the time comes)

Hand wash only.
Cold or room temperature water
Liquid laundry detergent for wool Ulrich Natürlich
Washing temperature = rinsing temperature
No spin cycle
Dry flat, away from sunlight and any heat source

• Lanolin Maintenance

Use a treatment (every 2-3 washes) occasionally to maintain self-cleaning and thermoregulating properties. Follow the instructions on the product information sheets.

Cosilana is proud to be one of the few remaining brands that have not used any treatment for over 50 years, to preserve the properties intact!

Cosilana uses exclusively natural fibers from controlled organic farming and livestock operations, without pesticides or chemical additives. The wool comes primarily from selected farms in Patagonia and meets the requirements of organic agriculture.

Production takes place in Hechingen (Germany), with regional manufacturing allowing continuous traceability and reduced transport.

The yarns used are certified according to the Global Organic Textile Standard (GOTS), which audits the entire textile chain—raw materials, processing, environmental and social aspects—through independent organizations. The brand also stems from the IVN initiative, a long-established natural textile organization.

This approach is based on a constant principle: respect for the environment and for people, with clothing designed to last while preserving the natural properties of the fiber.

• Is it hot?
Yes, but in a thermoregulated way. The wool keeps the skin dry and creates an insulating layer of air warmed by body heat. The bodysuit is thin, but functions as a basic thermal layer.

• Are the built-in mittens useful?
Yes.
The integrated mittens help limit facial scratches and sudden movements during sleep, without the need for separate small mittens.

• Is it worn alone or under pajamas?
Both are possible:
- as a unique indoor body,
- as a first layer under a pyjama or a jumpsuit/sleeping bag.

• Can it be worn for a long time without washing, like pure wool?
No, a little less time, but it's very subjective. One thing is certain: there's no need to wash this garment after every use. Even a urine leak won't stay with simple airing in fresh air.
Wool is naturally breathable and limits odors, which allows for less frequent washing.
The presence of silk does not negate this property; it is also a thermoregulating material, but it is recommended to air the garment between wears to prolong its freshness and lifespan.

• Does wool make you itch?
The combination of fine merino wool and organic silk is renowned for its softness. The silk provides a smooth feel directly against the skin, making this garment generally very well tolerated by sensitive skin.
However, since skin sensitivity is individual, perception may vary from person to person.

• Is it suitable for sensitive skin (eczema, reactive skin)?
Absolutely!
Fine wool and silk are breathable natural fibers, often appreciated by sensitive skin, with improvements noted by my clients.
This product is not a medical device, but it is designed to be worn directly on the skin with maximum comfort.

• Can it be machine washed?
No Cosilana wool-silk garment is recommended for machine washing, even on a cold cycle and at 400 rpm (trust my years of experience with this fabric). Even if shrinkage or thickening isn't necessarily and always visible after the first wash, it will gradually appear with each machine wash, accompanied by small holes.
A quick hand wash is simple and accessible to everyone, and helps to preserve this garment so that it continues to take care of your skin and its natural properties in the long term.

• Choose the size based on the child's height in centimeters, not their age.
Each size is designed to be worn until the child reaches the next size.
For example :
A size 62/68 can be worn as long as the child measures between 62 cm and approximately 74 cm (the next size up).
and not only between 62 cm and 68 cm.

• It is not necessary to wash this garment after each use. Wool-silk garments can be worn several times with simple airing between wears.
Small stains can be cleaned locally by hand, without washing the entire garment.
Even in the case of small urine leaks, a complete wash is not always necessary: airing is often enough to refresh the fiber thanks to the naturally breathable properties of wool.

• This product is one of my absolute favorites and I highly recommend it! It's an essential first layer that will influence all the other layers of clothing.

• I highly recommend hand washing to preserve the size and structure of the garment.
Ulrich Natürlich products (laundry detergent, treatment, stain-removing soap) are highly recommended.

For over half a century, Cosilana has followed a simple principle: not to correct the fiber, but to preserve it. At a time when industrial treatments have become widespread to adapt textiles to modern habits, the brand has chosen to continue manufacturing differently, preserving materials as they naturally function.

Based in Baden-Württemberg, Germany, production remains closely tied to regional textile expertise. Organic fibers are processed using controlled methods to preserve their original qualities, while GOTS certification regulates both the environment and manufacturing conditions.

Cosilana hasn't evolved towards faster fashion, but towards more sustainable consistency: producing fewer technical effects and greater stability over time. The garment isn't designed to follow a single season, but to accompany its daily wear for a long time.
