Winner:PLATINUM Best Children’s Activewear Collection
Who:Muddy Puddles
What:The AW24 Intergalactic Collection
Why:
Calling all cloud chasers and mud enthusiasts! Muddy Puddle’s Intergalactic Collection is out of this world. Our judges loved the inspiring prints, which are perfect for aspiring mini explorers. Cosy thermal layers, snuggly welly socks and snoods (as well as everything else an intrepid puddle hunter could need!) are covered with planets and shooting stars along with the brand’s signature lightning bolt, giving the clothes a fresh and modern feel while keeping little ones toasty. The quality of these clothes, which are built to keep warmth in and water out, really shone through and the panel was impressed by Muddy Puddles’ continued commitment to using eco-friendly materials and packaging.
The quality and functionality of this brand is unmatched for little adventurers!
I really like Muddy Puddles as a brand. One of my go-to’s for Forest School. I like the slightly retro vibe of some of the pieces and you can’t beat them for functionality.
The perfect collection for little ones to enjoy the great outdoors in.
I love the colour palette and fab graphic patterns in this collection. The re-usable brown paper packaging was just brilliant!
Winner:GOLD Best Children’s Activewear Collection
Who:Smalls Merino
What:Merino wool base layers for children and babies
Why:
Smalls Merino went against the herd this year and impressed our judges with their impossibly soft base layers. These pieces are beautiful, high quality and thoughtfully made, with a fully traceable journey all the way from sheep to wardrobe. Our panel was so impressed with the care and detail that goes into the design of every garment, not to mention the fact that the ultrafine merino wool is beneficial for sensitive skin prone to eczema. These really are the perfect foundation for every winter outfit.
I’ll be lining my daughter’s drawers with these fantastic sets, the colours are gorgeous!
So lovely & soft, such good colours. I must get some for my kids to wear around the house this winter…
I love these basics.
The best merino wool separates. Snug-fitting and breathable.
Winner:SILVER Best Children’s Activewear Collection
Who:Bloomy kids Co
What:Bliss Collection
Why:
A brand that is as bold and playful as it is functional and thoughtful. Bloomy Kids Co impressed judges with their vibrant collection of outfits and separates that are made to keep up with every activity. The quality of the fabrics and the beautiful range of colours wowed our panel, who agreed that these separates were perfect for kids who want to feel confident and supported by stylish exercise gear that is designed for movement and breathability.
Cute, comfy, sumptuously soft…and those colours!
Exercise wear that kids will feel really cool in - in both senses!
Crop tops on kids terrify me, but even I can appreciate these are a much more tasteful take on them. My 10-year-old daughter will be obsessed if she spots this brand!
