Buy­ing clo­thes for your kids is easier said than done. And if you want to think about the envi­ron­ment, it cer­tain­ly is going to be a dif­fi­cult job. But not with Kio­ko Kids! Dress your litt­le one in the nicest colours of the rain­bow with this sus­tainable clot­hing brand.

Kioko Kids: who, what, where?

Kio­ko stands for hap­pi­ness in Japa­ne­se and tha­t’s what the Bel­gi­an brand wants to con­vey in its clothes. 

Whe­re most brands would send their ide­as to pro­du­cers in a low-wage coun­try, Kio­ko does things dif­fer­ent­ly. Most of the clo­thes are made in our own coun­try and the­r­e­fo­re have the Made In Bel­gi­um label. In addi­ti­on, the com­pa­ny uses sus­tainable and recy­cled mate­ri­als. Okay yes, the­re are alre­a­dy a few. What makes the brand so uni­que? The fact that Kio­ko is not mono­to­no­us, but offers a wide ran­ge of bright colours in its coll­ec­tions. The nice cut of the clo­thes and the types of fabrics that are dif­fe­rent from the ordi­na­ry jog­ging or jer­sey fabric, making it all a dream for child­ren. Becau­se kids will be kids and they just want to dream and play.

Ecologically sound clothes

Kio­ko Kids choo­ses mate­ri­als such as GOTS cer­ti­fied orga­nic cot­ton, sus­tainable wool, recy­cled poly­es­ter and Clo­sed-Loop Poly­ure­tha­ne from Ger­ma­ny, Ita­ly and the Net­her­lands. The own prints and fabric dyes are also all GOTS-cer­ti­fied in Bel­gi­um. All other sub­s­tances that can harm the envi­ron­ment are com­ple­te­ly avoided. 

By having some items pro­du­ced in Bel­gi­um, the brand mini­mi­zes their trans­port and the­r­e­fo­re only the tail­or has to go on an air­plane ins­tead of 100 kg clo­thes. The clot­hing that is still pro­du­ced in Moroc­co and that is trans­por­ted to Bel­gi­um is sub­jec­ted to strict agreements. 

For exam­p­le, Kio­ko packs the garm­ents per ten ins­tead of sepa­ra­te­ly and always works with reusable pla­s­tic bags.

Safe workplace

No fair wages and poor working con­di­ti­ons are taboo at Kio­ko. The brand, the­r­e­fo­re, coope­ra­tes with three trans­pa­rent pro­du­cers. In Peru, it works tog­e­ther with Solid Inter­na­tio­nal’s wool fac­to­ry Bom­byx (non-pro­fit asso­cia­ti­on), which pro­vi­des work for women in a vul­nerable situa­ti­on. The socks are pro­du­ced in France and the fabrics are pro­ces­sed in Moroc­co by a team of seven sewers.
