Museum partners with Kite for range of sustainable children’s clothing launching in the summer.
Royal Museums Greenwich has partnered with Kite to launch a new kids’ clothing collection for autumn/winter.
The sustainable range – for ages 0 to 11 – will launch in the summer and will aim to bring stories from the Museum’s collection to life. Designs have been inspired by RMG’s extensive collection of objects with themes relating to space, maritime and royal history across the four sites – the National Maritime Museum, the Royal Observatory, the Queen’s House and Cutty Sark.
The two brands share environmental values and are passionate about protecting the planet and sustainability.
Kite’s garments are made from organic cotton, recycled plastic bottles or fabrics approved by OEKO-TEX and all the elements in Kite’s supply chain – ranging from the cotton grower to the embroiderers – meet comprehensive organic and ethical standards.
“We are delighted to be working with Kite on this adorable range of planet-friendly children’s clothing inspired by the four Royal Museums Greenwich sites,” said Elizabeth Bowers, brand licensing consultant at the Museum. “It has been a pleasure to work with a company who are so passionate about producing ethical, sustainable clothing and it is exciting to see our themes transformed into fun designs and beautiful outfits made from the softest organic cotton.”
Jo Spragg, product director at Kite, added: “We have loved working with Royal Museums Greenwich to develop some really special styles for our autumn/winter 2020 collection.
“We’ve poured all our passion and care into this capsule range and, as self-confessed lovers of interesting facts, are delighted that each of the new designs has a fascinating backstory of exploration and adventure that children will enjoy discovering.”
