WHO: AS WE GROW
WHAT: An Icelandic design company combining classic nordic design elements with chic modernity.
WHY: Oh, As we Grow, how we love you so! Our judges were in raptures over this brand’s soft knitwear in traditional nordic designs, muted tones and easy but super stylish separates that shout quality from the roof tops. The company’s impressive ethical stance also scored highly with the judges who loved the fact that each piece is designed to grow with the child and are made from only natural, renewable and sustainable materials. Junior Editor Bonita Turner said, “I love As We Grow, their distinctive, quality pieces are perfect for building a wardrobe around and can be passed down for years.”
