Infantium Victoria

Uh, Infantium Victoria?

In 2014, Julia Gay­di­na and Dinie van den Heu­vel foun­ded Infan­tium Vic­to­ria. The brand spe­cia­li­zes in high end orga­nic and vegan chil­dre­n’s clothing. Avant-gar­de and a touch of darkness.

Eco-logical?

All pat­terns are made by hand in ate­lier D’andt in Zaven­tem (Bel­gium). The pro­duc­tion itself takes pla­ce in Ger­many, Por­tu­gal, Spain and India. The pro­du­cers with whom the brand works are selec­ted on the basis of strict cri­te­ria. For exam­ple, they have to use sus­tai­na­ble raw mate­rials, mana­ge their was­te well and gua­ran­tee ethi­cal wor­king conditions…

The brand is very open about the ori­gin of its raw mate­rials. On the web­si­te you will find the names of the fabric pro­du­cers, together with a link to their website.

Infan­tium Vic­to­ria has opted for GOTS-cer­ti­fied orga­nic cot­ton from the Mode­na (Italy) and French regions. GOTS cot­ton also comes from Switzer­land and Por­tu­gal for the collec­tion and a small pro­por­tion of the fabrics are pro­du­ced in India, whe­re the brand works with local GOTS-cer­ti­fied fabric sup­pliers. The clothes that Infan­tium Vic­to­ria suf­fo­ca­tes in Euro­pe are made with fabrics from the Euro­pean fabric suppliers.

Other fabrics: GOTS-cer­ti­fied tulle, a cot­ton-pol­yethy­le­ne mix and linen from Belgium.

The rib­bons and lace are French, the press studs also come from Belgium.

The but­tons on Infan­tium Vic­to­ria’s clothes are made of coco­nuts and are manu­fac­tu­red in Ger­many (at Knopf&Knopf).

A good workplace?

Yes. Not only does Infan­tium Vic­to­ria put a lot of effort into eco­lo­gi­cally sound clothing, but the wor­king con­di­tions in which it is pro­du­ced are also important.

By opting for pro­duc­tion in Bel­gium and Wes­tern Euro­pe, the brand can check whether the wor­king con­di­tions are good. Infan­tium Vic­to­ria also has its pro­du­cers regu­larly ins­pec­ted independently.

And – wait, this is so cool – with each gar­ment you can see how many minu­tes of honest work it took to deve­lop the model and make the garment.

Infan­tium Vic­to­ria does not yet pro­vi­de data on its gar­ment fac­to­ries. If they do, they will get an even higher trans­pa­rency score.

Circular?

No, not yet. May­be that can chan­ge in the futu­re, Infan­tium Victoria?

In short

Roman­tic eco and vegan chil­dre­n’s clothing with a gothic edge.
