ABOUT US
Villervalla is a magical world. A world created of colorful fantasies and liberating childishness. A world where games and adventure never end. A world where every child can join in, where every child is welcome. So step into the magical world of Villervalla – a world where kids are always kids.
Villervalla is a company with strong values. We stand for joy, optimism and equality. We are inclusive and inviting. We are a brand that is on the children’s side. All of this is apparent in Villervalla’s colorful and playful children’s clothes.
TOXIC-FREE CLOTHES
We feel that it is important that the clothes we create are not only beautiful and comfortable, but also made with the children’s, and environment’s best in mind. We perform thorough tests on all our products through an independent testing company to ensure that there are no toxic substances present. A practice we have applied since the start in 2005. All products from our Turkish suppliers are certified Oeko-Tex® Standard 100. Oeko-Tex® is an independent organization ensuring that no harmful substances are present in the clothes.

ORGANIC
The main part of our collection is made with organic cotton. This cotton is grown without any pesticides or chemical additives. This creates cotton that is free from toxins, heavy metals and genetically modified organisms. To be able to label a garment organic, the production process also has to be completely free from harmful substances. We are expanding our organic programs even more in upcoming collections and our goal is to eventually be able to offer a completely organic collection.
SOCIAL RESPONSIBILITY
Our Chinese and Indian suppliers are certified BCSI and our Turkish supplier follow the Sedex-code. These different certifications ensure that the factories employ ethical business practices when it comes to the welfare and safety of their employees, as well as offering reasonable work hours and wages.

WE HELP
At Villervalla we feel that it is important to help, and we do this through carefully selected partners. We donate Villervalla clothes through Litauenhjälpen in Olofström, and Great Andoh International School in Ghana. Great Andoh is a Swedish-Ghanaian operated school and orphanage for children age 1-18 years, founded by Emelie Kanter from Gothenburg. We also sponsor a project called Läs för barn (Read to kids). They donate books to pre-school aged children.
For several years we have been donating money to Unicef or similar causes instead of giving corporate Christmas gifts to our employees and collaborative partners.
In our concept stores we sell lovely post cards from Hjärtegryn to benefit children with heart conditions. Hjärtegryn is a non-profit organization started in 2009 by Helena Någård, mother of a child born with a heart defect. The money from the post card sales goes to the Child- and Youth hospital in Lund, one of only two hospitals in Sweden where they perform operations on children with heart conditions. The wonderful children on the post cards were created by designer and illustrator Johanna Lundqvist.
