Recently , MINI A TURE launched a BtB sales and inspiration platform where retailers can supplement purchases and gather information .
Bundgaard Lionett , PR and marketing coordinator and print designer . MINI A TURE is not only well-liked among consumers – it is also gaining accolades from the industry , most recently being nominated for the Eco Ethic Award together with nine other international brands . Behind the nomination is Pitti Connect in collaboration with Kid ’ s Wear Magazine . MINI A TURE has also recently won three Junior Design Awards , and the brand won second place in MAMA Awards for best brand . Some of MINI A TURE ’ s iconic designs were created around 2002 and have since only been updated in order to bring them in line with current demands for modern , sustainable production . MINI A TURE offers a range of advantages if customers send back used outerwear after they ’ re done using it . - We donate the clothes we receive to the orphanage Sunway Children ’ s Home which we ’ ve had a close partnership with since 2004 , says Sofia Issakainen . Security is another element that MINI A TURE always focuses on in its design process . - All safety rules are observed , and we want our clothes to provide a sense of security for children and their adults . As an example , we use a material with a reflective finish that causes the outerwear to light up when the headlights of a car hit it . The clothes keep their other functions such as breathability and waterproofness , says Kathja Bundgaard Lionett . - At MINI A TURE we ’ ve always wanted to make a difference , and we want to pass that mindset on to our children . Now , companies can be certified for culture and values , so we ’ re currently seeking a B Corporation certification , ends Sofia Issakainen .
