Citing responsible consumerism and global awareness as core inspiration for the line, brand founder/designer, Maia Andersen said, “we want to empower our kids and to underline that their every effort, no matter how small, is how positive change is achieved.” The designer has over 15 years experience in both technical outerwear and sustainable design.
