School starts today.

The Clothing Line is ready, the Shoes are on, and excitement is in the air. One more check ensures that everything is really packed. A new chapter is beginning for your child—full of new paths, new friends, and big little adventures.

Comfortable socks and matching Accessories help your child feel comfortable from the very first step.

7:45 AM

Moving forward together

The school backpack is in place, the front door closes behind them, and the first walk to school awaits outside. Sometimes the sun is shining, sometimes it drizzles—it’s good to know your child is protected in any weather.

With Rain Jackets, rain hats, caps, and warming Accessories, the journey to school remains a little adventure.

09:30 AM

Finally, break time

The first tasks are done. Now it’s time to unpack, share stories, and have breakfast together. The lunch box and Water Bottle should be easy to open and offer enough space for everything that provides new energy for the school day.

With a favorite design or their own name, they quickly become truly personal companions for break time.

12:30 PM

School’s out—the day goes on

After class, there might be after-school care, a sports lesson, or a little outing waiting. A compact backpack has room for a Water Bottle, a snack, and the things your child still needs after class.

Practical compartments and adjustable straps help your child pack and unpack their things independently.

3:30 PM

Going home with many stories

Your child’s head is full of new impressions, and there is plenty to talk about on the way home. What was especially exciting? Who did your child sit next to? And how did the first snack break taste?

The day’s little companions are packed away—ready for the next school adventure.
