With summer just around the corner, it’s time to gear up our Kiwi kids for sun-soaked days, beach adventures, and family outings! This season, let’s support local by choosing high-quality New Zealand brands, who understand our unique environment and the needs of Kiwi mums and kids alike.
Here’s a roundup of summer essentials for little ones to stay cool, protected, and stylish all summer long.
1. Sun-Safe Swimwear
New Zealand's sun is intense, so swimwear with UPF protection is non-negotiable for Kiwi kids. Little Red Fish offers a fantastic range of swimwear designed with UPF 50+ fabric, ensuring ultimate sun protection without compromising on style. Look for full-coverage options like rash vests, fullsuits, and shorts
2. Sun Hats
Nothing says Kiwi summer quite like a good quality, sunhat. Little Red Fish's Unisex Cotton Sunhat is made of high quality cotton providing excellent protection from the sun
3. Sun Protection for Sensitive Skin
Sunscreen is essential for Kiwi kids’ summer days, and it’s always best to opt for something gentle and effective. Little Red Fish collaborates with New Zealand skincare brand Frankie Apothecary to offer Natural Sun Deference, free from harmful chemicals and suitable for sensitive skin.
4. Kids Towels and Ponchos
A day at the beach or pool calls for high-quality towels and ponchos, and Troupe Kids delivers with their fun, durable options. These towels and ponchos are designed with kids in mind, featuring absorbent fabrics that dry quickly and come in vibrant, playful designs.
