HE PLATINUM AWARD FOR BEST INTERNATIONAL CHILDREN'S FASHION BRAND IS... AS WE GROW

There were lots of oohs and ahhs emitting from our judges as they eagerly pawed their way through this beautifully made, luxurious collection of knits and cotton separates. A nostalgic nod to a 70's childhood in their native Iceland, the As We Grow design team use traditional nordic designs in soft muted shades but with an added twist.

Beautiful oversized lapels, crocheted collars and chunky knitted leggings are just a few of the details that pick this label out from the crowd. As well as their distinctive aesthetic our judges were super impressed by the company's ethical stance.

A commitment to using only natural, renewable, sustainable materials and a focus on designing fine quality clothes that grow with your children so they can be worn for more than just one season means this is a brand you can invest in on every level.

Junior judge and founder of Scandi Mini Gabrielle Spang said,

"I'm a big fan of As We Grow - just love them. They go for longevity rather than fast fashion and the 3 sizes they offers are clever as kids 'grow into them'."
