About Polarn O. Pyret

We make clothes designed to be loved, washed and worn. And one day handed down to the next child...and the next. Clothes made to be passed down and worn by at least three children for each garment - We call this design that lasts. We started in 1976 with the desire to make comfortable, high-quality childrenswear. This means a play-friendly design, with no details that chafe or restrict movement, that can be washed again and again. Simply put – clothes that let children be children!

We have been voted Sweden’s most sustainable retail brand for 10 years in a row, we won a Drapers Award for Best Circularity Initiative in 2023 and was announced as the Uk’s Most Innovative Retailer at the recent Retail Innovation and Tech awards.

Our team launched the Polarn O. Pyret in the UK & Ireland 2006, and we have our own stores in shopping centres such as Westfield London, as well as concessions in 20+ John Lewis stores. We have a fast-growing e-commerce website, and our products are also available on the John Lewis Next and M&S Websites.

Join the PO.P family and become a part of a legacy that endures through time!
