Frequently Asked Questions – Trucs d’Enfants

About the Brand

Who is Trucs d’Enfants?

Trucs d’Enfants is a Canadian kids clothing brand based in Montreal, Quebec. We design and produce gender-neutral, grow‑with‑me clothing for children from baby to early childhood. All our garments are made locally in small batches, with a strong focus on durability, comfort, and sustainability.

Where are Trucs d’Enfants clothes made?

All Trucs d’Enfants clothing is handmade in Montreal, Canada. We choose local manufacturing to support skilled craftsmanship, ethical working conditions, and transparent production.

Why do you manufacture in Canada?

Manufacturing in Canada allows us to maintain high quality standards, ensure fair working conditions, and reduce overproduction. While it costs more than overseas manufacturing, it aligns with our values of sustainability, accountability, and long-lasting design.


Grow-With-Me Clothing

What does “grow-with-me” mean?

Grow-with-me clothing is designed to fit a child across multiple growth stages. Our garments feature adjustable elements such as foldable waistbands, extendable cuffs, and relaxed cuts, allowing children to wear the same piece for a longer period of time.

What are the benefits of grow-with-me clothing?

Grow-with-me clothing helps families buy fewer sizes over time, reduces textile waste, and offers better value per wear. It also supports a more sustainable approach to children’s fashion by encouraging long-term use instead of fast replacement.

What age ranges do your grow-with-me clothes fit?

Our grow-with-me pieces typically fit across two to three standard size ranges. For example, a single garment may fit from 6–18 months or from 18 months to 4 years, depending on the style. Each product page includes specific sizing guidance.


Materials & Sustainability

What materials do you use?

We primarily use natural and eco-friendly fabrics such as cotton and organic cotton blends. Our materials are chosen for softness, durability, and comfort, especially for active children and sensitive skin.

Are your clothes eco-friendly?

Yes. Sustainability is central to our design process. We focus on durable construction, timeless styles, and grow-with-me sizing to reduce overconsumption. Local manufacturing also helps limit transportation impact and overproduction.

Do you use organic fabrics?

Many of our garments are made with organic cotton. When organic options are available and suitable for the design, we prioritize them. Fabric details are always listed on each product page.


Design & Fit

Are your clothes gender-neutral?

Yes. All Trucs d’Enfants designs are gender-neutral. We believe children should be free to move, play, and express themselves without being limited by traditional gender norms in clothing.

How do your clothes fit?

Our clothing is designed with a relaxed, comfortable fit that allows room for movement and growth. Adjustable features help ensure a flexible fit over time, rather than a tight or restrictive silhouette.

Are your clothes suitable for everyday wear?

Absolutely. Our pieces are designed for daily life — play, daycare, school, and family outings — while remaining stylish and practical.


Care Instructions

How should I wash Trucs d’Enfants clothing?

Most garments can be machine washed in cold water. We recommend air drying to preserve fabric quality and extend the life of the garment. Specific care instructions are listed on each product page.

Are your clothes durable?

Yes. Durability is a key part of our sustainability approach. We design our garments to withstand frequent washing and active play, making them ideal for growing children.


Pricing & Value

Why are your prices higher than fast-fashion brands?

Our prices reflect ethical Canadian manufacturing, quality materials, small-batch production, and thoughtful design. Grow-with-me functionality also means fewer purchases over time, offering better long-term value.

Do you offer discounts?

We occasionally offer promotions and special discounts through our newsletter. Subscribing is the best way to stay informed while supporting a small independent brand.


Orders & Availability

Do you produce large quantities?

No. We produce in small batches to avoid overproduction and waste. This means some items may sell out quickly, but it allows us to remain sustainable and intentional in our production.

Will sold-out items come back?

Some popular styles are restocked, while others are produced only once. If an item is sold out, you can subscribe to restock notifications on the product page.


Community & Values

Do you collaborate with other organizations?

Yes. Over the years, Trucs d’Enfants has partnered with community organizations and regularly supports local initiatives. Collaboration, knowledge sharing, and mentorship are important parts of our brand philosophy.

Why choose Trucs d’Enfants?

Choosing Trucs d’Enfants means supporting local craftsmanship, ethical production, and a slower, more thoughtful approach to kids clothing. Our garments are made to last, to grow with your child, and to reflect values of care — for people, children, and the planet.
