Winner:JOINT SILVER - Best Children’s Fashion Accessories Brand

Who:Leosun

What:Kids Sunglasses

Why:

A hit with the judges this year, who felt the fun, fresh colours and lightweight frames with an ultra-soft finish made them the perfect addition to a kid’s accessory arsenal. Our judges were excited to learn that the frames are constructed from an ingenious material made from caster seeds, and loved the plastic-free packaging! Not to mention how durable these frames are with their super flexible hinges. Easy to pack, carry around, and comfortable on little faces – these shades are made for adventures!

Love that they are super lightweight, flexible and have a soft-touch finish. They feel unbreakable and look so chic - all while delivering maximum sun protection for our bambinos eyes. A sure hit!

Jakki Jones, PR & Talent Relations @jakkidoodles

A grown-up take on little people's eyewear. Excellent use of environmentally friendly materials and prioritising UVA protection credentials as much as design so you feel confident when making this purchase - practical as well as playful!

Sarah-Jane Mee, Sky News Broadcaster @skysarahjane

The perfect kids sunglasses. The style, the colours... love.

Charlotte Kewley, Stylist & founder of @thelittlestylist

My son LOVES his Leosun shades and I love the handy strap that means they can hang around his neck when he’s not wearing them.

Gone are the days of being embarrassed to wear glasses, Rockstar’s Diana glasses are stylish, lightweight and subtle all at the same time. Our judges felt these specs were a beautiful balance of durability and fun, and really loved the fact that these frames didn’t feel too childish, so kids can feel confident wearing them every day. The brand believes in transforming a medical device into a moment of style and pride, supporting self-expression.

Love the minimalism and design of the specs.

Lightweight and durable but with a real sense of fun. The range of designs is funky but not childish so children can feel excited and confident in wearing glasses.

Winner:EDITOR'S CHOICE - Best Children’s Fashion Accessories Brand

Who:Blue Francis

What:SS25 Kids Jewellery

Why:

Blue Francis wowed judges with beautiful, timeless jewelry inspired by founder Fransiska’s beloved horseshoe pendant and a desire for children’s jewelry that doesn’t break all the time. Our panel found it refreshing to see children’s jewelry that feels sophisticated and really designed to last. The gift of a piece of jewelry that looks and feels grown up is sure to make any child feel important. They’ll want to cherish it forever, just like that gold horseshoe pendant that started it all.

Kids love to have items that will be treasured for years to come...and I think the storytelling aspect of this brand is magical.

Jakki Jones, PR & Talent Relations @jakkidoodles

Excellent quality jewellery that makes the perfect gift for a special occasion - delicate enough to look special but strong enough to last.

Sarah-Jane Mee, Sky News Broadcaster @skysarahjane
