Best Children's Activewear Brand (Accessory) | Junior Design Awards 2018
Revealing this year's JDA18 winners in the best children's activewear accessory brand
WINNER: GOLD FOR BEST CHILDREN'S ACTIVEWEAR BRAND (ACCESSORIES)
WHO: GRASS & AIR
WHAT: A new brand of urban, outdoor children’s clothing hailing from Manchester including Grass & Air wellies that feature unique colour-change technology. Available in infant sizes 4-12 and Junior sizes from 1-3.
WHY: These cute and stylish wellies featuring a subtle rain cloud motif were hugely popular with mini judges and maxi judges alike who loved the soft fleecy lining and exciting colour transformation technology which turns the rain clouds multi coloured on contact with water. Magic! Our panel also loved the thoughtful touch of adding a cloud motif split in two on the insoles which help children to put their boots on the right feet when they join the pictures together to create the whole cloud. Acclaimed Textile designer and Junior Design Awards 2018 judge Donna Wilson summed up the general response: "I love the branding and I think this product feels really fresh and current and I love the prints as well as the fluffy warm lining. I’d buy this!" Sold!
