ABOUT THE BRANDS:

 

1. BORNE

“I’ll have it in 5 colors, please”, this is what I felt like when I saw this brand for the first time! Who doesn’t want their kids in super comfortable and fantastic basics with a nature care motto? It even has knee patches and no annoying labels! Everyone needs a bit of Borne in their lives. And… they also have adults wear, yuppie!

2. SECOND SEW

upcycled kid's clothes

It is a must to upcycle! That’s what Second Sew does. They give a second life to garments by making unique clothes from old curtains, sheets, and stuff we don’t use anymore. Apart from that, their social responsibility is extensive, and women in occupational integration make the clothes. Can it get better? Yes – you will love the colors and patterns!

3. LES MARSIENS

Classic yet cool, Les Marsiens blends old-time favorites with trendy colors and patterns. They have collections made between Portugal and France with an all-inclusive, human, environmental motto. The brand does not play around when the subject is making this world a better place and is proud to be under the United Nations SDGs (Sustainable Development Goals). I salute the brand for that, and for making comfortable and fun clothes for our children. For each collection, they invite emerging artists to make the garments unique.

Petit Minus is a brand founded by parents, that aims to be scalable, mixed, sustainable, and intelligent. With them, it’s simple: everything is unisex and there are only 3 sizes: 0-6 months / 6-12 months / 12-24 months. At a time when the stakes for our planet are so high, they have decided to create products suitable for toddlers, made in Europe and with a shorter circuit for strong ethical values!
