Designer ProfilesKULING AW22: BACK TO SCHOOL JUST GOT COOL

Time really does fly by when the kids are having fun; the past year’s dreary seasons and dragging winter school terms seemed to crawl by in slow-motion and, well, the eagerly awaited summer break lasted one whole millisecond until it vanished again for another year!

It’s OK though, because there really is so much to be excited about, come September. From fresh new backpacks and stationery to crisp cotton threads and shiny new shoes, we’re really getting into the spirit of things here at Alex and Alexa… Plus, we’ve calculated at least one more full month of summer sunshine to run riot in while new friends are made and memorable experiences had…

Safe to say we are keenly zoning in on Swedish label Kuling for all things school related, right now. And as the current forecast nods to subtle shifts in temperature, it makes sense to stock up on a few warm, functional layers to accompany their trails to and from school – think solid staple pieces they can rely on to stay comfy and protected all year round.

A one-stop brand for parents looking to make carefully considered choices when shopping for new season wardrobes, Kuling’s collection embraces a fresh new chapter with undeniable attention to detail. Crafted with BIONIC-FINISH®ECO recycled materials, the Douglas coverall features welded seams, soft fleece lining, a detachable hood and reflective detailing throughout. And if you’re opting for the Douglas, why not nab its autumn-ready accomplice, the Vasa recycled rain hat; this is the perfect duo for making that regular after-school park trip a seriously fun-filled affair.

When the weather takes another turn, prepare your little ones with the ultimate double up – the Ottawa Rain Set with welded seams, a toasty fleece lining, a YKK® zipper to the front and adjustable silicone foot loops – all available in an assortment of colour palettes & patterns. And to complete the ensemble, be sure to protect their little feet from the damp & chill thanks to the Caracas rubber boots with their cosy bonded lining, removable insoles and rough tread for a sure step.
