The move aligns with the increasing consumer demand for environmentally responsible fashion choices. 

To launch in early 2025, the G-STAR kids’ collection will be available across Europe, Australia, South Africa, Canada and the US.  

FFI Group chairman Anupam Kothari said: “We are excited to join forces with WHP Global and the G-STAR brand. Our expertise in children’s apparel and wide distribution network, combined with G-STAR’s innovative design and commitment to sustainability, will create a powerful offering for young customers and their parents.”
