Gecko Clothing launched a children's clothing line in 2014 with designs that are bright and colorful, practical and hardwearing, ethical and eco-friendly, and affordable. They had a successful crowdfunding campaign and were finalists for an award. They released wild seed tags and secured their first stockists for the children's line. They won a digital marketing award at The Pitch 2014 competition and were named a highly commended green business by two awards. Their goals for 2015 included bringing at least 3 special children's wear pieces fully embodying Gecko Goodness values.
