Uses repair and Extend Size

Didriksons designs and produces clothing that will last a long time, offering repair kits and providing features such as its Extend Size function for children’s clothing. Its kids’ clothing also has name tags with space for several names, as it wants to encourage the practice of items being passed on once outgrown.
