I really enjoy designing fabric prints under my principal design brand Coconut Textiles®, but in recent times some of the prints that I have been designing have been screaming out to become products for the kids market. I personally found that the rash vests available kept repeating the same themes (nautical) and motifs (sharks! I mean who wants to be wearing a shark when swimming in the ocean I ask you?!). It was time for some unexpected colours and themes to enter the kids swimwear market in my opinion – and little coconut® was born!

My little coconut® rash vests are made from superior quality polyester blended with high performance Lycra®. They are robust enough for very active little people and suit both chlorine and salt water. I have designed them to be unisex and long sleeved with a little extra fabric at the back to cover delicate skin as sandcastles are made and beach activities take place! They are available in sizes 6-12m right through to 5.

Here is a sneak peak of some of the prints that you can expect in the new rash vest range:
