Muslin Bibs, Organic Cotton (5 Pack)

A clean cotton bib body held back by an unnamed organic certifier and an undisclosed snap that could be resin or metal.

2 / 10 Low plastic footprint $$

Five 4-layer muslin bibs in 100% organic cotton with adjustable snap closures. The snap material is the one thing the brand does not say.
