A much-loved brand in Sweden, Polarn O. Pyret is kids clothing company that, since its inception
in the 1970s, really has stood the test of time – why? Because the clothing it
makes is fantastic value for money in the long run.
The veteran brand promotes nothing but good-quality, durable
clothing that, importantly, will last. And what’s more, it promotes reselling
and hand-me-downs, because its clothes are so good that they will last even
after your child outgrows them. The resell value on eBay is phenomenal simply
because the clothes don’t get worn out by either repeated machine-washing or
the kids themselves – genius!
And if you plan on having more little ones in the family,
then hang on to your PO.P clothes for them. Many of the clothes in their range
are unisex, which means you can hand clothes down from boy to girl and vice
versa if you want to – even more genius!
PO.P is a truly eco-conscious brand for the same reasons
that its clothes are great value.
The fact that it’s iconic striped (as well as it’s plain and
beautiful, bold printed) clothing designs are so durable can – and certainly
should – be passed down through the generations constitutes as recycling!
Now that really is
eco-friendly. Are there any other kids’ clothing brands out there that promote
such unbelievably environmentally sound and socially responsible practice? We
can’t think of any.
Polarn O. Pyret also designs, makes and distributes its own baby and kids
clothes, and which means it has full control over every aspect of its
business and the direction of the company and its products.
Since its launch back in the ‘70s, PO.P has been renowned for
its iconic striped designs, and now, the kids who wore them back then are
becoming parents themselves and buying the same quality as they wore way back
when.
With a history of more than 35 years in the kids clothing
trade, PO.P has strived and now unequivocally knows what works for kids and their parents - and what doesn’t.
LAYERS – that’s what
works!
There’s the base
layer, which is made of either wool
or polyester because they are breathable, draw moisture away from the skin and
therefore keep kids warm and dry.
Then, the mid layer, which is a fleece and wool
blend; also breathable, this is the handy thermal layer that can go under outerwear in the colder months to keep
kids warm
And finally, there’s the outer layer, which is light, waterproof and rainproof – coupled
with the base and thermal mid layers in the winter, or just with the base layer
during the warmer months for protection against the wind and the rain.So grab yourself a bargain – head over to PO.P’s website.
I think that brands that support eco friendly practices should be promoted more. I think that the average shopper cannot immediately think of a brand in each consumer products sector that is known for its environmentally friendly practices. That is not good.
ReplyDeleteIt should not be hard to find companies that adhere to the same values as you. Something needs to be done about the way that these companies promote their brand and the way that others share this information on social networks.
