The future of Kidswear

Clothes that could track lost kids

clothes you’re wearing.
 The future of Kidswear
AbStain™️Stain resistant nano-technology
There's no point crying over spilt milk, or juice or tomato sauce for that matter. We've all been there! By the
magic of nano-technology from the wizards of Nano-Tex®, each fibre of our fabric has been transformed to
give it the ability to resist stains without reducing its natural softness and breathability, making child's play of
cleaning up spills. Because it's easier to wipe off an oops than change an outfit.
Liquids bead off the fabric as if it's waterproof.
Nano-technology outperforms conventional fabric treatments.
Extends the useful life of the fabric.
Survives the wash to provide lasting protection: 80% effective after 30 washes.
Retains the fabric's natural softness and breathability.

 ShooMozzie™ mosquito repelling technology.

Sleeping like a baby? Our snuggle bags not only stay in place – they also feature a mosquito repellent that
will last for up to 20 wash cycles at 40 degrees celsius. Irritating mosquitos but not babies.

Our snuggle bag lining includes AntiGerm™ technology that fights microscopic pests too. The germ killing
magic is embedded in the fibres, so it can’t wash out or irritate sensitive skin.

ZapDry™ quick drying nano-technology

Your child’s blue lips are the only indicator that the fresh sea breeze has cooled off their damp swimsuit in
spite of the fact that they are sitting in full sun. Thankfully, the masterminds at NanoTex® have blessed us
with ZapDry™, which transforms every fibre of our swimsuits to repel moisture and then dry in a flash, so
your little beach baby can spend more time playing. While you do the chilling.
