Zara has released a denim range for children. This is a range fit for a circular economy. The denim collection was designed with its whole life cycle in mind.

Fabrics used to make the collection include a minimum of 98 percent cellulose-based fibers and contain at least five percent recycled content from textile origin to reduce the consumption of virgin materials.Most fabrics in the line are made with 80 percent cotton and 20 percent recycled cotton.All components that are added to the fabric can be easily disassembled for reuse or recycling.

For the children’s collection Zara has added removable buttons and tried to avoid metal rivets or zippers. Interior pocket bags include information about how the garment is designed to be recycled.

Styles in the collection for children closely mirror the comfort and utility trends seen in women’s fashion. The unisex line includes a worker jacket, cargo jeans with an elastic waist, wide-leg relaxed fit jeans and loose fitting jeans with a ripped knee. For babies, the collection offers a denim overshirt, overalls, pullover denim shirts and a collared dress with pockets.Sizes begin at nine months for babies to 14 years in children’s. Zara merchandises the denim pieces with cotton navy and cream striped long-sleeve tops and waffle knit tops.
