Our story

Three fathers. Ten children. One promise: only what we would choose for our own.

Claudius, Jonathan and Peter have been friends since their teens. When their first children arrived, suddenly everything mattered: the fabric, the quality, the label in the neck. In 2018 they founded Ehrenkind to make the things they could not find. Today, a team of 60 designs every product in Germany with the same care.

Our name

Ehren·kind

To honor every child.

In German, Ehre means honor and Kind means child. Our name is our promise: to bring joy and appreciation into every child's room.

Inspired by Montessori.

Children grow best when they are free to explore, move and discover at their own pace. That is why we design simple, natural products that support independence instead of getting in the way.

Materials

What touches your child matters.

We work with a few natural materials and use them well. Independent institutes test and certify our materials, so you never have to wonder.

Boiled wool

Pure virgin wool from mulesing-free farms, felted until dense and robust. It keeps children warm, breathes when they run and repels light rain and dirt.

FAQ

Good to know.

Where can I buy Ehrenkind in the U.S.?

All of our U.S. products are available on Amazon.com. Simply follow any link on this page to our Amazon store.

How do European sizes work?

Our clothing uses European sizes based on height in centimeters, for example 74/80. Size 74/80 fits most babies from about 6 to 12 months. Each Amazon listing includes a size chart.

Is boiled wool itchy?

Our boiled wool is densely felted, which makes it smooth and soft. Most children wear it comfortably over a cotton or merino layer.

How do I care for wool clothing?

Wool cleans itself remarkably well. Usually airing it out is enough. When needed, hand wash cold with a wool detergent and lay flat to dry.

Where are your products made?

Every product is designed by our team in Germany. Our wool clothing, beeswax crayons and bath ponchos are made in Europe.

Will more Ehrenkind products come to the U.S.?

Yes. We are preparing to launch more of our collection in the U.S. Have you spotted something on our German store that you would love to see here? Email us at info@ehrenkind.de. Your wishes help us decide what comes next.

Which certifications do your products have?

Our hooded towel and bath ponchos are certified to OEKO-TEX® Standard 100. Our wool is mulesing-free. Our beeswax crayons are tested to the European toy safety standard EN 71.
