The question
Could clothing do more?
We explored whether carefully developed clothing could support children whose eczema-related itching and scratching disrupt sleep.
Independent 28-day clinical evaluation
Our carefully developed Signature Fabric was first put through skin tolerance testing, where it was found to be hypoallergenic and suitable for sensitive skin. We then tested our finished garments in an independent clinical evaluation under dermatological and paediatric control.
Over 28 days, the evaluation tracked changes in sleep quality, visible irritation and scratch-related skin damage, as well as parents’ quality of life.

The question
We explored whether carefully developed clothing could support children whose eczema-related itching and scratching disrupt sleep.
The approach
From fibre selection and fabric development to fit, construction and finishing, every element was refined around the needs of eczema, sensitive and reactive skin.
The evaluation
Following in-depth skin-tolerance testing of the Signature Fabric, the garments underwent an independent clinical in-use evaluation.
The results
The evaluation recorded improved sleep-quality scores, and reported reduced visible irritation, less scratch-related skin damage and improved quality of life.
