What Are We Really Putting On Our Kids?

Let’s be honest — most kids’ clothing today is basically soft plastic.

Most activewear is made from petroleum-based materials like polyester, nylon, and elastane. Kids wear it every day, directly against their developing skin.

Every wash, every move, those clothes shed microplastics into the air and water — and into their bodies. Microplastics have now been found in children’s blood, lungs, even placentas. And with thinner, more absorbent skin than adults, kids are more vulnerable than anyone.

This isn’t just about being green (although we care about that too). It’s about what we’re putting on our kids — and what’s getting in.

Finally, Activewear That Looks Good. Feels Better. Does No Harm.

Svante is the world’s first style-led activewear brand for young people made entirely from natural, plant-based fibres — built to move, built to breathe, and made to last.

With Svante, your children get clothes they’ll want to wear — and you get peace of mind about what’s touching their skin.

No synthetics. No toxins. No compromises.

What the Research Says Is Building Up in Their Bodies…

Microplastics have been found in placentas, lungs, brains, and human blood, raising serious long-term concerns.

Studies have linked exposure to synthetic fibres to hormone imbalance, endocrine disruption, and skin irritation.

Yet, the fashion industry keeps producing cheap, fast, toxic clothing.

Why Hasn’t This Been Solved Yet?

For years, performance clothing has been manufactured from petrochemicals. All major kids’ activewear brands rely on the same synthetic ingredients:

• Polyester (made from petroleum)
• Nylon (a plastic polymer)
• Conventional elastane (a chemical-heavy stretch fibre)

These materials are cheap to produce, stretch well, and dry quickly. But they come with a hidden cost: the fashion industry is the third-largest polluter in the world.

Children’s skin is developing; it is thinner than adult skin and more absorbent, making them more vulnerable to chemical absorption. Children wear these clothes closer to their skin for long periods of time. Synthetic materials shed plastic fibres and microplastics into the air, they wash into waterways, and are accumulating in our lungs, blood, and our ecosystems.

Just clean, high-performance fabrics made from plants, not chemicals — engineered for energy and freedom, designed to move better, feel better, and leave the planet better than we found it.

3 years sourcing and developing natural materials that could compete with synthetics.
A new generation of fabrics:

• FibrFlex™: plant-based performance
• PlanTech™: stretch from renewable sources
• MeshFlex™: synthetic-free airflow
• EarthKnit™: breathable, regenerative cotton
• EarthSoft™: organic blend, for sensitive skin

Style They Actually Want to Wear

If it doesn’t look good, it won’t leave the drawer. That’s why Svante puts fashion front and centre. 

From bold colour palettes to clean silhouettes, every piece is designed to move and stand out.

No garish logos. No shiny sheens. No try-hard designs. 

Just effortlessly cool activewear — made from nature, made to mix and match, made to be worn on repeat. 

This isn’t “eco” fashion that feels like a compromise. It’s fashion they’ll want to wear — full stop.

Sustainable. Ethical. Traceable.

From seed to stitch, we’ve rethought everything.

Our cotton is regenerative and traceable. Our trims are plastic-free. Our dyes are low-impact. Our supply chain is transparent. And every fibre we use is biodegradable or recyclable — with no synthetics, ever.

Designed by Nature. Engineered to Perform. We didn’t just remove the chemicals — we rewrote the rulebook.

Built on a new generation of natural-performance fabrics: soft on skin, tough in movement, and zero compromise on style.

Every fibre is carefully engineered for stretch, breathability, and durability — then lab-tested, skin-tested, and style-tested.

FibrFlex™ is our ultra-breathable performance fabric made from plant-based fibres sourced from certified sustainable forests.

• Designed for movement and comfort, it keeps bodies cool and dry with its breathable structure and high natural moisture-wicking ability.
• It’s made using a closed-loop manufacturing system that uses up to 95% less water than standard polyester production, making it a standout in circular fashion.
• 100% biodegradable. Hypoallergenic. Soft, strong, and gentle on skin.

• Like built-in air conditioning — without the plastic.
• Precision-perforated for ventilation, this ultra-lightweight fibre is friction-free and designed to keep skin breathing and bodies moving during high-intensity activity.
• Unlike traditional synthetic mesh, this is soft on skin. It won’t trap sweat or cause irritation. It’s breathable, flexible, and toxin-free.
• Made entirely from renewable plant fibres, MeshFlex™ is naturally quick-drying and kind to skin — without the toxins, cling, or plastic waste.
• It’s proof that performance mesh doesn’t need to come from petrochemicals.

Our breakthrough bio-based stretch fibre.

• Made entirely from plant based, bio-derived content sourced from responsibly grown, renewable feedstocks, it offers the same high-performance elasticity and comfort as synthetic elastane — without fossil fuels, chemicals, or toxins.
• Standard Global Certified (SCS), guaranteeing it’s plant-based and produced with harmless, non-toxic manufacturing processes, PlantTech™ has a significantly lower carbon footprint.

EarthSoft™ is our softest fabric ever — an ultra-gentle organic cotton blend developed for sensitive skin, daily durability, and all-day comfort.

• Naturally breathable and temperature-regulating, it feels like a second skin while standing up to wear, wash, and repeat.
• No synthetics. No irritation. Just seriously soft performance.

EarthKnit™ is our performance-grade regenerative cotton, grown using climate-positive farming methods and fully traceable from seed to stitch.

• Naturally soft and tough enough for whatever they get up to, it offers incredible breathability and long-lasting wear — without synthetic blends or microplastics.
• Regeneratively grown, Svante EarthKnit™ cotton blend can lock up three tonnes more carbon per hectare than standard cotton production — helping pull CO₂ from the atmosphere while it grows. (*)

• Made from the seed of the Tagua palm, Corozo is a naturally hard, plastic-free material used in all our buttons and trims.
• It’s harvested through fair-trade rainforest partnerships and polished without chemicals — down to the very last detail, we are natural.

This Is About More Than Clothes

It’s about health. It’s about impact. It’s about giving young people the freedom to move, play, grow — without carrying the weight of plastic on their backs.

We’re not trying to follow the rules of fast fashion. We’re writing new ones.
