Who:Ducky Zebra
What:High-quality, sustainable childrenswear (0-6Y)
Why:
Ducky Zebra really caused a stir this year with our judges who loved the soft, well made, organic cotton pieces featuring fun patterns and a ‘splash power button’, which acts as a reminder to splash kindness and confidence – something we could all do with no matter what age!
The panel was impressed with the brand’s commitment to sustainability, their positive message and their ambition to provide unisex clothing that encourages kindness and confidence in equal measure.
A beautifully designed and presented collection with real heart. Fantastic!
Such great research and initiatives behind Ducky Zebra. It's amazing to see the significant positive social and environmental work that one small brand can do. A great example to many bigger brands that could do more...
So many fab ethical initiatives with this brand - they have really thought about everything. Really bright and fun with lovely whimsical characters and the splash is a lovely idea, reminding the wearer to splash kindness around.

Why:
The cool and exciting prints on this sustainably made collection really spoke to our judges who thought the range would appeal to parents looking for well made, day wear that stands out from the crowd.
The range of simple block, digital and illustrative prints meant there was something for everyone while still feeling cohesive. The soft cotton with high quality hems and cuffs felt robust enough for playing in and passing down.
I’m always so impressed with Rock & Roars’ fab designs that are perfect for playing in and capturing kids’ imaginations.
I'm always looking for fun leggings and shorts for boys - as well as girls - so it's great to see this collection. Practical, comfortable and cool. The sun print is my favourite.
Easy to wear prints with a lovely whimsical feel and I love the sense of adventure.
Beautiful print design and colour palette.
