" Forging early connections with the earth is vital. How can we expect our children to care about the natural world if it isn’t first their playground to breath in, to
taste, to touch?
We believe immersion in nature fosters lifelong respect, inspiring the growing minds of the future to care wildly about our planet.
As a B-Corp Certified brand, Toastie supports the next generation by keeping them warm, waterproofed and cosy through all weathers in outerwear made from breathable, sustainable fabrics hewn from recycled plastic bottles.
The little explorers of today are our custodians of tomorrow: let’s rewild them, building their confidence, imagination and skills as their roots grow deeper and deeper into the earth. " ~ Töastie Co-founders
As a B Corp in the fashion industry, we’re counted among businesses that are leading a global movement for an inclusive, equitable, and regenerative economy.
Our products are created with comfort and durability at the forefront of the design process, so that a child can explore the natural world without restriction. We are equally passionate about environmental responsibility when creating and sourcing our products, working exclusively with certified suppliers that strive to bring us the best in sustainable innovation.
Based on the B Impact assessment, Tiny Explorer Apparel Limited earned an overall score of 88.7. The median score for ordinary businesses who complete the assessment is currently 50.9.

We prioritise responsibly sourced, lower-impact materials wherever possible, creating durable outdoor clothing designed to be worn, loved and passed on.
From recycled fabrics and innovative insulation to timeless designs that outlast trends, every collection is developed with longevity, comfort and adventure in mind.
We know sustainability is a journey, not a destination, and we are continually working to improve the materials and processes behind every product we create.

We are committed to reducing unnecessary waste wherever possible, from the products we create to the way they are packaged and delivered.
Our packaging and labels are FSC certified, our stickers and packing tape are biodegradable, and our polybags are made from 100% certified recycled plastic and are fully recyclable — eliminating virgin plastic from our immediate packaging.
We know there is always more to do, which is why we continually review new materials and innovations that can help us further reduce our environmental impact.

From Plastic to Protector
I started as a bottle, a hard plastic shell, a home for water, sitting on a shelf and waiting and waiting.
One day I was picked up by a lady with lovely warm hands and cosy bag, my new home for a while.
I was lucky, my owner did not just throw me away after a single use, she saw all of my potential.
Many more times I was filled and refilled until my label began to peel and I became worn,but just because I couldn’t function as a bottle any longer didn’t mean my lifecycle was over ...
In fact, it had just begun.
Rather than throwing me straight in that dark hole of a bin, my owner was conscious and loved Mother Earth.
She understood that I still had so much more to give, she gave me a chance at a new life by giving me a bath, drying me up, and placing me in the inviting forest green of the recycling box.
I met a lot of other plastic in here, we talked for hours about all the new possibilities of what being recycled meant.
For me, I was lucky enough to be turned into long yards of colourful yarn, dreamed up as a design on paper and finally spun into the shape of a beautiful Töastie raincoat.
Now I keep a child warm, and barely even think about my days as a bottle.
I watch my child play and learn about the earth and the bugs, I protect them as they roll around in the mud and dirt, I am hung up and cared for in the comfort of the family home.
The care that went into my production means that I will keep generations of children warm for years to come.
Far from my beginnings as a plastic bottle on a brightly lit shelf, I now work hard in my role to make sure my children love and enjoy the outdoors.
We don’t let the elements hold us back.
We welcome the wind and the rain,
After all, my very first friend was water.
