Treating people and the environment with respect: more and more designers are making this their mission. While sustainability has long since arrived in various areas of our lives, it is still relatively in its infancy in the clothing industry.

Especially in the area of children's fashion, many parents do not know if and which brands produce sustainably. Do you also want to contribute to Mother Earth, but don't want to do without stylish children's clothing?

At NICKIS.com you will find casual styles and labels that you can shop with a clear conscience!

Sustainable fashion refers to clothing that is produced with respect for people and the environment. The term "slow fashion" is often mentioned in this context: durable garments that can hang in the wardrobe for many years due to their good quality.

Cheap "fast fashion", on the other hand, encourages people to constantly buy new clothes, to sort out and throw away clothes that are still flawless. The consequences are overproduction of garments on the market, tons of waste, environmental pollution and inhumane working conditions.

Therefore, "green" fashion focuses on conscious consumption - not only WHAT you buy, but also HOW MUCH you buy.

There are now several children's fashion labels that strive for ecological and socially responsible clothing production. Criteria such as the use of organic raw materials or recycled materials and fair working conditions play an important role.

Whether the brand works resource-efficiently, produces locally and uses vegan fabrics can also be indicators that children's clothing is sustainable.

In addition to these sustainability criteria, you can look for certain seals when buying children's clothing. These show consumers which children's fashion is produced ecologically and fairly.

The most important ones include: the IVN-Best seal, the GOTS seal, the Made-in-Green seal, the Fair-Trade seal, the GRS seal and the OCS seal.

At NICKIS.com, you will also find several fashion labels that produce entirely or partially eco-friendly - and they are in no way inferior to their conventional counterparts. Discover the stylish designs and dress your offspring from head to toe in sustainable children's fashion. Let yourself be inspired!

Those who opt for sustainable fashion not only protect Mother Nature. One of the biggest advantages of environmentally friendly children's clothing is that it is usually skin-friendly and ideal for allergy sufferers.
