The collection features six styles: three pre-walker shoes designed for first steps and three sandals for warmer days. All styles are crafted in premium leather and finished with embroidered Newbie prints. Each pair is designed with careful attention to fit, comfort and durability, using high-quality materials made to support developing feet through play, movement and everyday adventures. Sizes range from UK children’s size 3 to 8 (EU 19–25).
The collaboration follows long-standing requests from Newbie’s customer community to expand the assortment with footwear created in the same timeless and sustainable spirit as the brand’s clothing. Through the partnership with Kavat, known for quality-driven craftsmanship in the premium segment, Newbie now extends its offering with shoes made to last.
“Our customers have been asking for shoes in Newbie’s timeless design for many years. Kavat was a natural partner. They share our commitment to quality, longevity and care in every detail, and bring generations of footwear expertise,” says Anne-Charlotte Lindquist, Assortment Manager at Newbie.
“We are delighted to collaborate with Newbie and contribute our shoemaking craftsmanship to a brand that shares our values. Together, we offer families thoughtfully designed footwear that combines beauty with long-lasting quality,” says Sarah Berg, Marketing Manager at Kavat.
The collection will be available exclusively online at kavat.com and newbie.com from 25 March 2026. The collaboration marks the beginning of a partnership with the ambition to explore further joint initiatives in the future.
