Now the sustainable clothing label will donate 25% of every purchase to help young patients and their families.
The new range will be showcased at a launch event from 5-7pm on Thursday, 18 May in Buchanan Galleries, Glasgow.
The 10-piece Unfolded kidswear collection consists of fun and funky children's clothes for ages 3-10 years, including tracksuits, dresses and t-shirts, each costing between £10 and £25.
Each item is made of sustainable fabrics and is designed to be both comfy and durable with over 500 parents adding input into the design of the collection.
