Can our kids experience wild and free adventures without ruining their clothes?

We love:

  • Dressing our kids with comfortable clothes, such as knitted soft leggings
  • When the garments we buy are “life proof”
  • High clothes resistance especially when they play “rough”
  • High durability even if we have to launder every day

But did you know?

  • Knitted cotton fabrics have very low resistance to abrasion
  • Treatments available on the market allow 3 times better resistance
