A variety of eco-conscious fashion, footwear and accessories will be available amid the 130 children’s brands showing at this summer’s INDX Kids on 30 June and 1 July.

Visitors to the trade show will be able to discover collections incorporating sustainable and recycled materials and clever design features to increase the longevity of products, as well as learn more about how brands are working to reduce their impact and support future sustainability goals. Here’s what some of the show’s exhibitors have to offer.

Fashion

New exhibitor ANJOY KIDS will present its latest collection of eco-friendly cotton kids’ clothing for children aged 0-8 years, while Charley’s Wild World will make its show debut with eco-friendly and sustainable childrenswear proudly made in the UK. Welsh brand Fox and Lottie also joins the line-up, offering premium sleepwear for babies and toddlers using organic cotton and bamboo fabric.

 

 

Vogue Williams’ new kidswear development, GEN, addresses the growing demand for longer-lasting, versatile children’s clothing. The collection offers gender-neutral items and incorporates the concept of shared clothing. Each piece can be personalized with fun patches and features the unique “Wear Me, Love Me, Share Me” label.

 

 

Making its show debut this summer, Kari Sako is a new ethical childrenswear brand for boys and girls. The organic Pima cotton collection is designed in the UK and manufactured in India and Peru through partners that share the brand’s commitment to ethical and sustainable practices.

 

 

Kite Clothing is passionate about protecting the planet, and sustainability has been at the heart of its processes since launching the first range back in 2007. All garments are made from certified organic cotton, recycled plastic bottles, sustainable wood pulp, or fabrics approved by Oeko-Tex. Kite Clothing is also certified to GOTS Standard. As well as being designed to be worn and washed again and again and passed on to others, garments feature clever details to help them last longer, including adjustable straps and cuffs that grow with a child.

 

 

Lilly + Sid will return to INDX Kids with its s/s 25 collection for boys and girls, spanning babywear through to childrenswear in 100% GOTS certified organic cotton. Orla Kiely’s new Grow With Me babywear range is underpinned by the need for longer-lifespan clothing and incorporates features such as turn-up/down waists and cuffs to allow for growth, as well as extendable gussets.

 

 

Catering for boys and girls, Pigeon Organics will return with its new childrenswear collection certified organic by GOTS. Brand founder Jane Shepherd is also the co-founder of Clothes Together, a new initiative to channel spare stock to families in need.

 

 

For premium organic basics look out for ScandiBugs’s new collection made from organic cotton in nine different colours. With a sustainable design aimed at combatting fast fashion, inclusive baby brand Soxsies will present its core collection of 2 in 1 bamboo leggings with integrated removable socks alongside a new Character Collection.

 

 

Following a successful winter show, Toby Tiger will return this season with its sustainable childrenswear collections. From organic materials to eye-popping prints, every piece is crafted with love and a sprinkle of magic. For s/s 25, Turtledove London (pictured top) focuses on the themes of cleansing our oceans, rescuing sea creatures from nets, and clearing the sea of plastics, with all cotton garments made from 100% organic cotton.

 

 

If you’re looking for a baby and children’s fashion brand that puts sustainability first, don’t miss Walkiddy, which keeps abreast of the international standards for organic cotton and produces clothes with high-quality, sustainable fabrics. Popular Danish childrenswear brand Wheat will also be exhibiting, showcasing its childhood essentials for 0-12 years, with each item crafted in eco-responsible materials.

Footwear

Making its show debut this summer, Stellar Blue will present its latest collection from Bibi, Brazil’s leading brand of children’s footwear. Adorable style meets all-day comfort with high-quality and sustainable materials that take care of kids’ feet and take care of our planet.

 

 

To create a more environmentally conscious range of products, kids’ footwear brand Bobux has a new partnership with BLOOM® for 2024. The brand has also extended its materials to include organic cotton canvas, bamboo knit, merino knit, and wool felt. Visitors can also discover Borboleta’s premium eco-friendly baby and toddler shoes, handmade in Portugal, combining comfort and contemporary designs with wide fittings for high insteps.

 

 

And for environmentally conscious, podiatrist-approved children’s footwear that doesn’t compromise on style, don’t miss Pip and Henry. Each pair of shoes uses high-quality, sustainable materials such as organic cotton, recycled rubber and responsibly sourced leathers. When children outgrow their Pip and Henry shoes, they can also be easily recycled, further reducing their environmental impact and promoting a circular economy. Plus, the brand’s shoeboxes double up as a children’s game.

 

 

Accessories

New this season from Dutch brand BamBam includes a recycled rabbit tuttle, cuddle, and slippers. Bibbilyboo, meanwhile, creates dribble bibs with a waterproof backing, cotton front, and eco-bamboo core. One bib is designed to absorb enough dribble to last the day whilst never letting it pass through to clothing, eliminating dribble rashes but also helping parents reduce laundry.

 

 

All of Fable & Bear’s collection is knitted using 100% organic cotton and alongside children’s clothing, it also offers a range of hats, mitts and booties. For eco-friendly soft toys, don’t miss Happy Horse’s Recycled Richie Rabbit.
