Kids Size Guide:
To find the right size for your child, select the size according to your child’s height. For example, size 104/110 is suitable for children measuring 104 - 110 cm. If your child is between sizes, select the size closest to your child’s height. Age information is a guideline when selecting sizes but it’s always best to measure your child. All measurements in the size chart are body measurements, not garment measurements.

MINI RODINI IMPACT
FABRICS MADE FOR THE LONG RUN
Mini Rodini carries one of the most sustainable ranges on the market – their collections include over 99 % products made from sustainable materials yearly. By sustainable materials, they mean non-conventional materials that have a lower impact on both nature and human health, such as organic cotton, recycled polyester, and Modal®. They also have a selection of upcycled products where we reuse leftover fabric from earlier collections.
Theproducts are only called sustainable when minimum 80 % of the composition includes non-conventional materials, compared to most others having a level of 50 % as a rule. For ethical and environmental reasons, Mini Rodini do not use skins, suede, fur, feathers, wool with mulesing or conventional silk in any of their products or collaborations.
CHALLENGING CHEMICALS
Chemicals are needed in all kinds of textile products including Mini Rodini's – from the manufacturing of raw material to dyeing, printing, final look, and function. The challenge is to avoid the toxic ones that are harmful to the environment, animals and our health. Since the products are mainly used by children, chemical management is a subject close to Cassandra's heart. The team actively work to limit the use and waste of chemicals in all of their products. Already in the design phase, they eliminate a massive amount of harmful substances by choosing sustainably better materials with third party certifications. Mini Rodini also make systematically risk analyses and tests to assure all products comply with the requirements.
To be proactive and stay up-to-date with the latest news concerning chemicals, Mini Rodini is a member of the Chemical Group at Swerea – a network for training and dialogue with experts and other brands in the industry on how to monitor best possible risk assessment and compliance.
Mini Rodini's chemical restriction list is based on EU’s regulation REACH, but also includes additional prohibited and limit value substances beyond this law. They believe this is needed for calling a product and production safe and sustainable.
RESPONSIBLE WASTE
The textile industry depends heavily on human resources – for every collection, there will be waste including fabric, labor, energy, chemicals and water. What we can do is to minimize our waste and take better care of it.
Mini Rodini use environmental standards that ask the suppliers to have policies such as water treatment plants and sustainable chemical management and do their best to optimize every batch of production. Instead of sourcing new fabric qualities for each season, the majority of the fabric qualities are repeated. Mini Rodini don't match prints with pattern pieces, bindings or cuffs, and they avoid using too many contrast materials and colours for smaller pieces of garments.
In 2013 Mini Rodini launched their first upcycled collection made from leftover fabric. Every year, they collect waste material from previous productions to create new products with a new purpose. With this, they want to create a circular stream and eventually, close the loop.
SOCIAL RIGHTS
Mini Rodini's social responsibility includes every interaction with Mini Rodini – from design and manufacturing to communication and sales. They want to give children the freedom to choose clothes that match their personality, mood, and creativity. All their clothes are unisex, and they never categorize or front their products based on normative gender.
Like other companies in the clothing industry, Mini Rodini does not own any factories. Instead, they share the responsibility together with other brands. Mini Rodini source factories with sustainability and fair labor as key criteria and priority and therefore choose facilities already certified with the well known third party standards such as Fairtrade and SA-8000.
Mini Rodini aim to build relationships that are profitable for both the supplier and us. Part of this is to establish our Code of Conduct, share their mutual responsibility for fair labor and a safe working environment, and to implement living wages. Even though living wages has been a topic of discussion for decades, the vast majority of garment workers still earn far below that level. In 2014, at three factories in India, we joined a project together with other brands to pay our share of a living wage to the employees. Since then living wages has been an ongoing project – 2017 we implemented a similar living wage system on our own initiative. Mini Rodini's long-term goal is to implement a living wage system at all their sewing units.
Mini Rodini arrange third party audits that are relevant to all their suppliers equally. The audits are always announced, openly discussed and followed up together with the supplier and third party auditor to create a mutual improvement plan. Since January 2016, Mini Rodini are a proud member of the independent organization Fair Wear Foundation. As members of Fair Wear Foundation, they share and implement mutual ethical requirements of the Code of Labour Practice in the supply chain. Annual reporting of these efforts is made transparently by us as well as Fair Wear Foundation.
GENERAL WASHING INSTRUCTIONS:
Always follow the washing instructions of your garments - make sure to always read the instructions of how to wash each garment. These instructions have been developed for each product and thoroughly tested to know the optimal care and temperature for it.
Don’t over-wash your clothes - avoiding unnecessary machine washes is good for enhancing the durability of the clothes and good for the environment as you save on water and energy. Oftentimes airing the clothes or spot cleaning the clothes, is enough to keep the clothes fresh.
Air dry instead of tumble - hanging your clothes up to dry instead of using the dryer is a great way to make the clothes last longer and to save on unnecessary energy usage.
Avoid fabric softener - fabric softeners contain a lot of chemicals which have a negative impact on the environment as it’s released into the water and are often not needed. Fabric softener can also damage the impact on the elastic functionality and impair water repellent functions of the garments.
Wash garments inside out - this will help garments keep their shape for longer as well as their colour. This is especially important for clothes with print on them. Outerwear garments should however not be washed inside out.
Wash as soon as possible - most stains can be removed if you wash or soak the stains right away. Do not let them dry or sit too long as they will be harder to remove. Check out our eco-stain guide below for tips on how you can remove stains without the use of strong chemicals.
INSTRUCTIONS BY MATERIALS
Cotton: Cotton is generally resistant to high temperatures, both in washing and ironing. Garments with prints can however be impacted by too high temperatures, always follow the recommended washing instructions on the garment. If the garment has a print it’s also important to turn it inside out before washing. Avoid bleach and fabric softener especially if the fabric also contains elastane.
Modal®: Modal has a tendency to shrink if it is treated at too high a temperature, so always wash at lower temperatures. We also recommend to avoid soaking and prewashing as the material weakens in a wet state.
Wool: Wool has a unique ability to refresh itself with the help of the oxygen in the air. Therefore, you don’t have to wash wool clothes as well as clothes made out of other materials such as cotton or polyester. Wool is also naturally resistant to dirt and can be cleaned with just airing or a mild detergent. A tip is to hang your garments in the shower after you've showered (when there is high humidity), this helps to the self-cleaning effect where the wool fibers open up and release dirt particles.
Econyl and swimwear: Avoid washing over 40° and don’t use fabric softener as this weakens the elastic quality of the fabric. You should always air dry, and not use the dryer. Make sure to rinse in fresh water after every use to get rid of salt water and chlorine.
Satin: Satin is more delicate than other fabrics like cotton and can easily tear if a zipper or button gets caught in the fabric. We hence recommend using a laundry bag to protect the garment during washes.
Denim: Denim is a cotton fabric that should be washed seldom to keep its natural shape and color, we recommend airing and spot washing. Due to its dark dye, some color might be released in the first few machine washes, so it's crucial to wash it with a similar color to avoid color impact on lighter colored garments.
Heavy knit garments: We generally recommend washing these garments at 40°, if no other temperature is stated on the washing instructions. Use a laundry bag to avoid the yarn in the garments to get caught on buttons or zippers. If your washing machine has a delicate wash program, that is preferred. Consider stretching the garment while still wet, to avoid any shrinkage and hang it flat to dry in order for it to maintain its shape.
Fleece: We recommend to air fleece as much as possible and remove minor stains with a damp cloth or spot treat as stains tend to come off easily and as this will make the clothes stay in shape and color for longer. If the whole garment needs washing we recommend that you follow the specific garment washing instructions and that you use a microplastic laundry bag as fleece can release microplastics in the washing water. We also recommend that you iron fleece according to the care label instructions regularly as ironing lays down the fibres, reducing the release of microplastics.
Outerwear: All our outerwear should be washed at 40°. Close zippers and buttons to minimize risk of wear. Jackets should not be turned inside out as the lining wears more easily than the outer material. Fabric softener should be avoided as it may impair the breathability and water-repellent functions of the garments. The water repellent function of BIONIC-FINISH ECO® deteriorates when the garment is washed and must be treated with heat to reactivate. We recommend that you iron the garments with BIONIC-FINISH ECO® on low heat to reactivate it. As taped seams and reflectors can be damaged by heat, try to avoid ironing directly on seams and reflectors as much as possible. Warm drying cabinets and tumble drying are not recommended for garments with taped seams and reflectors as this might deteriorate their functionality. If the garment has faux fur on the hood, you can brush it with a regular hair brush, for it to regain its structure. Explorer accessories should be washed the same way as jackets and overalls and should be heat-treated after washing.
Caps: Should not be washed in the washing machine as they lose their shape. Can be dampened and washed by hand with detergent. Do not let the cap soak in water for too long
Bags: Close all zippers before washing to avoid wear. Don’t wash over 40°, use bleach or tumble dry.
Knitted hats: Wash at 40° and stretch while wet, dry flat.
