Bring back size 160!

Recently, Hanna Andersson, a well-established international children’s clothing company, decided to discontinue their 160/14-16 US clothing size. In doing so, Hanna Andersson has created a major dilemma for a large number of their loyal brand following. Plus-size children, as well as tween kids, deserve representation and inclusiveness in quality clothing items, especially if they suffer from skin conditions such as eczema or tactile issues from autism. In eliminating Hanna Andersson’s size 160, thousands of children across the world will no longer have access to quality, chemical-free clothing options, as there is currently no comparable brands to offer such items in their size. In addition, there is a huge gap in clothing companies overall to provide age-appropriate, quality clothing to children whose parents (and purchasers of said clothing) want their children to wear clothes that are representative of their age and not have to resort to inappropriate, adult-like designs. It is understandable that retail companies in the current climate need to make cutbacks to certain areas, but we ask that Hanna Andersson reconsider bringing back this size, even if it’s in lower quantities to meet demand, as a significant portion of their loyal clientele no longer have comparable options.
