Today we have 11 brands from the country of chocolate that include some new start ups as well as brands that are over 100 years old and are still important today. Let’s have a look:

Frilo

Lea & Jojo

Another young brand. Animated by the desire to see the world through the eyes of children. Who should be able to safely discover the extent of our planet’s beauty. Lea & Jojo offers a collection of children’s raincoats that combine quality, ecological awareness, social ethics and safety. The shell and lining fabrics are 100% recycled certified GRS and BLUESIGN.

Namuk

The namuk children’s outdoor label arose from a passion for perfect products, the attention to detail and lots of heart. And the wish to add a new angle to the outdoor wear scene for children. As a Swiss company the brand is committed to the highest quality and continuous innovation. Ranging from the choice of the best materials to the child-friendly design of the features. Namuk specifically cares about using sustainable materials and production processes, as well as fair production conditions.

Philip Plein

A complete change of style, but German-born fashion designer Philipp Plein is based in Switzerland with its line of unique creations.

The garments are fun, luxurious and with lots of attention to craftsmanship. The kids lines are always very sporty, rock and edgy. Think denim embellished with gold details, black and white t-shirts and lots of Plein’s exclusive and famous prints. In short – an urban, luxury street style.

Where is Marlo

Where is Marlo? Marlo is a citizen of the world and is capable of living anywhere. By following his dreams and forging his own path based on the experiences and people he encounters along the way. And he is the inspiration for a timeless clothing line that is using Eco-friendly materials. Shapes, patterns and colours are the true signature of the brand.

By the way: With a recycling rate of over 50%, Switzerland is among the leading countries for collecting waste material and the numbers even exceed 80% for PET.

25 European Kids Clothing Brands That Will Have You Saying “Oui! Oui!”

I have a thing for European kids clothing brands. I will never forget my first trip to Paris with my then-fiancé, traipsing from one cafe to the next and dipping into boutiques between glasses of red wine. We weren’t yet married and had no imminent plans for children, but every time the poor guy turned his back I found myself snagging a tiny cardigan here, a ruffle-trimmed sunsuit there, for the future kids I hoped would be among the chic-est in our eventual suburb.

It used to be that the only European kids clothing brand that was remotely within reach was H&M. So, if you snatched up a fluorescent overall dress on a jaunt to Europe, your kiddo was likely to be the only one to have it. But now tons of European kids clothing is readily available now in the States via the wondrous world wide web (and some pretty great stockists).
