Product Design
Fresk designs for babies and kids, with sizes from newborn up to toddler and kids’ ages. You’ll find bags (small and large backpacks, school bags, cooler bags, swim bags, weekend bags, pencil cases, toiletry bags, wallets), clothing like two-piece pyjamas and bandanas, baby blankets, outerwear, food and drink products and toys such as cuddle cloths and rattles.
The brand describes its style as timeless, colourful and inspired by nature.
Slow Fashion Processes
The brand claims it doesn’t believe in seasons that come and go. Instead, Fresk works with a small, ‘Never Out of Stock’ collection and says it creates “with intention” rather than producing more. However, Fresk does have a sale section on its webshop.
There’s no made-to-order or made-to-measure option.
Transparency on Product
Fresk discloses material information for part of its range, but not the production country. As a result, individual products cannot be traced back to where they were made.
Transparency on Processes
Fresk shares its story and philosophy, but very little about its processes and suppliers.
There’s no supplier list and no annual report on social or environmental impact.
Conclusion
Fresk brings colour and nature into kids’ lives with timeless backpacks, school bags, baby blankets, pyjamas and more. Discover the collection on the COSH! map below.
