Summer clothes for children need to be practical, comfortable, and ready for adventure. But more and more parents — maybe you too — are also looking for sustainable choices.
Why buy new every year, when you can choose pieces that last longer and are better for the planet?
At Ducksday, we believe sustainability doesn’t have to be complicated. It’s about making smart choices — in materials, in design, and in how we treat the world.
In this blog, you’ll discover why quality really does matter, especially when it comes to kids’ clothing.
What makes children’s clothing sustainable?
Sustainability in kidswear isn’t just about eco-friendly materials. It’s about durability, smart design, and making pieces that live on.
Clothing that gets passed down to a little brother, sister or cousin? That’s true sustainability.
At Ducksday, we focus on:
-
Environmentally conscious materials
Our summer pieces are made with recycled polyester and are Standard 100 by Oeko-Tex certified — safe for your child and kinder to the planet. -
Timeless and gender-neutral design
So the pieces stay loved and can be passed on easily — no matter who wears them next. -
Thoughtful finishes & strong details
Seamless where needed, reinforced where it matters, quick-drying and breathable — built to last through a full summer of sand, water and wild adventure. -
Less pollution
Did you know that many sunscreens are harmful to marine life? By wearing UV-protective clothing, you save on sunscreen and protect the oceans at the same time — good for the planet and your wallet.
Why “cheaper” often ends up more expensive
We’ve all been there: a cheap t-shirt that twists after three washes, or swimwear that turns see-through after one holiday.
It’s a waste of money, time, and resources.
At Ducksday, we choose quality you can feel — from that first fitting to the last day of camp.
Our fabrics hold their colour, resist wear and tear, and are designed to handle all the chaos of childhood (think: mud, puddles, wild play and I want to dress myself moments 😉).
Growing = passing on
A Ducksday piece is made to last — even through a second (or third) summer.
Thanks to smart fits and sturdy materials, our items still look great after your child has outgrown them.
And let’s be honest — it feels great to hand down something that’s still in perfect shape.
Sustainability starts with choosing well
Sustainable kidswear doesn’t have to be boring or overpriced.
It simply takes one mindful decision: one that thinks about today and tomorrow.
And if you’re making that choice, why not go for UV protection, all-day comfort, and a fun print that makes your child smile every time they wear it?
