About Us
created from need, grown with love
The Humble Hive is a creative, eco-conscious hub built on the foundation of Bizzy Bee Playwear, our beloved handmade children’s clothing brand. What began as a small, sustainable clothing line has evolved into a multifaceted business offering custom tailoring, expert alterations, and high-quality handmade garments for both children and adults.
We specialize in sustainable fashion, using carefully sourced, eco-friendly fabrics—primarily plant-based and often purchased from small, ethical suppliers. Every piece is thoughtfully crafted to ensure comfort, durability, and timeless style while minimizing waste. Fabric remnants are repurposed into small items or recycled, reflecting our commitment to zero-waste clothing production.
While collaborative craft workshops and community events are part of our future vision, these will launch only once we have a dedicated physical space outside our home studio. In the meantime, The Humble Hive remains focused on delivering exceptional custom clothing and alterations that help our customers express their individuality while making sustainable fashion choices.
Whether you’re looking for a perfectly fitted garment, a one-of-a-kind handmade piece, or sustainable wardrobe staples, The Humble Hive offers craftsmanship you can feel good about—and clothing that’s made to last.
Eco Friendly and CPSC Compliant
Eco Friendly
At The Humble Hive and our signature brand, Bizzy Bee Playwear, we source fabrics from U.S.-based shops that custom print designs on textiles. These shops utilize eco-friendly dyes, thereby avoiding the harmful chemical processes commonly used in mass-produced fabrics. Traditional dye-setting methods often require 15–20 gallons of water and chemicals per yard. In contrast, the fabrics we choose are printed with dyes that set through heat. They arrive unset and are fixed during our pre-washing and shrinking process—eliminating the need for hundreds of gallons of water and chemical waste.
CPSC Compliance
The Consumer Protection and Safety Committee (CPSC) sets forth strict guidelines for the construction, tracking, and labeling of all clothing items as well as specific requirements around flammability, lead, and small parts testing of components. BIzzy Bee Playwear is very proud that all garments in this shop meet these requirements. Every item will come labeled with the manufacturing details, a unique tracking code that includes the date of manufacture, fiber content, care instructions, and sizing as appropriate. Materials all meet flammability requirements, and any components (zippers, closures or ties) have been tested for lead. You can feel confident in shopping that safety is the first thing considered when selecting materials and design.Â
