Toca Boca, a Swedish game development studio, has launched a new gender-neutral fashion collection for kids with H&M. The line uses innovative processes by Circular Systems that allow recycling of colored textile waste streams. The collection is available worldwide, both physically on Hm.com and as digital outfits in the Toca Life World app. 

“Toca Boca games focus on self-expression and fostering creativity with open-ended play that is free from limitations and rules,” says Max Heirbaut, senior manager, franchise development, Toca Boca. “The new Toca Life x H&M collection allows kids to do just that, but through their personal style, packed with stylish silhouettes, patches and fun accessories inspiring kids to create combinations that may surprise us by mixing, matching, and customizing their own unique looks. The collection is launched both digitally and physically, giving the players the opportunity to twin with their character in Toca Life World, so they can feel the most like themselves both on and off screen.” 

“Following the continued success of our digital franchise, we’re actively building the Toca Life brand into a product universe that encourages creativity and self-expression with kids globally,” says Mathilda Engman, general manager, Toca Life. “We want to bring new products to life that allow existing players and new fans to showcase their love for Toca Life and its characters beyond the game. Together with H&M, a leading fashion player and truly international brand with global presence, we bring to life an understated cool yet playful collection that enables kids everywhere to be whoever they want to be.” 

“We’re teaming up again with our friends at Toca Boca and are absolutely thrilled with this collaboration,” says Sofia Löfstedt, head of design, kidswear, H&M. “All styles in the collection are made using recycled materials developed with Texloop ColorCycle technology by Circular Systems, an innovative process that allows true recycling of colored textile waste streams, putting them back in play for more fashion fun. The collection also aims to spark creativity with Toca Boca's lovely, quirky characters and fun messages. The designs blend streetwear influences, roomy, gender-neutral styles with activewear details in soft neutrals and pop accent colors. Altogether, it’s an amazing collection we’ll all love!”
