After Vigga Svensson's first attempt at bringing sustainable children's wear on the market, she is back with Vigga, bringing not only high quality and trendy clothing, but also an environmentally friendly solution to families. Combating rapid consumption and buy-and-throwaway habits, Vigga saw an opportunity to provide a solution that would reduce waste and give families new clothing when needed.

Vigga
A sustainable, gently-used children’s clothing subscription service.
An estimated 145,000 tons of clothing and textiles are thrown away each year. Vigga provides a sustainable alternative to buying children's clothing. Young children quickly grow out of their clothes, leaving these unused or simply thrown away. Vigga is a subscription service of gently used children’s clothing - sending a new set of clothes to families depending on the child's age, gender, and size. With Vigga's services, families are provided with an affordable solution that costs them 359DKK per month, as opposed to the estimated 20,000DKK spent on clothing in a child’s first year of life. As soon as one size is outgrown, each family is automatically sent a new package, featuring a range of different patterns and styles. Made with organic cotton, the clothes are washed with eco-friendly methods in order to ensure that your baby is dressed in safe and environmentally-friendly fabrics.
