I am proud to see how the brand has evolved to be one of Britain's top sustainable kids wear labels with 'unique designs for little people and their planet'.We have won multiple accolades over the last ten years including the 'Top 10 Ethical Brands Worldwide' by Guardian, UK and the prestigious 'Loved By Parents' Award in 2017, 2018, 2019, 2020 and 2021.From the shelves of heritage retailers like Harrods, Harvey Nichols and Selfridges, the brand is now in India.

These parents are invested in building a sustainable future as a family. With its organic offering for children, the brand promises to be the perfect new addition to the ever evolving kids wear market in India.Tell us in detail about your sustainable practices.Emma: With a 100 per cent organic cotton clothing line, our focus has always been on sustainability without sacrificing style!
