Even though we often associate sliders with lower outside temperatures, they are surprisingly well suited to summer - provided they are made from the right materials. Lightweight fabrics made from natural fibers keep out the sun's rays but allow air to circulate well. Cooling linen in particular ensures a pleasantly temperate climate under the cap, even when temperatures rise. The cut of the slider cap, which is shaped at the back of the head with darts and a short, elasticated insert, contributes to this: With a snug fit on the head, the cap keeps out draughts - it was once an iconic accessory for driving a convertible for a reason - while still leaving enough space so that body heat cannot build up. A sweatband made from pure cotton adds to the natural comfort.

Bensheim—a town otherwise best known for its historic architecture, fine wine, and sheltered location on the slopes of the Odenwald—is home to the Pure Pure label. And perhaps it is precisely this proximity to and daily contact with nature that have significantly inspired Pure Pure’s philosophy. In any case, the name says it all: the products are designed to convey pure joy when worn, and the materials from which they’re made are minimalist. The focus is on high-quality natural fibers such as cotton and wool—sourced wherever possible from certified organic farming or certified organic animal husbandry—as well as European linen, baby alpaca, and renewable cellulose fibers like Lyocell (TENCEL™). The designs for children, too (and especially so), offer a level of comfort characterized by natural carefreeness. The company also keeps corporate responsibility beyond its own production in mind: Pure Pure is a member of the cross-industry Bundesverband Nachhaltige Wirtschaft e.V. (Federal Association for Sustainable Economy), a business association that advocates for climate protection, resource efficiency, and diversity in the economy.

Summer clothing made from linen is ideal for children's sensitive skin: The natural fiber is extremely hard-wearing and tear-resistant and therefore also very practical for little tomboys - such a favorite piece wants to be worn every day, especially since linen becomes even softer with every wash without losing its durability. Due to its ability to absorb a lot of moisture and quickly release it back into the environment, linen also has a naturally pleasant cooling effect on the skin. The almost antistatic effect of linen is particularly interesting for children with allergies: thanks to its smooth surface, the fiber is less susceptible to dirt and also has dust and pollen-repellent properties - very useful for young and old allergy sufferers.
