Your support helps us to tell the story
From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.
At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.
The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.
Your support makes all the difference.With summer holidays – aka wedding season – fast approaching, and a new school year to follow, you may be considering little one’s wardrobe.
From occasionwear to essentials, it can be expensive shopping for growing tots, with outfits quickly becoming a tight squeeze after a few seasons of wear. Not ideal for sustainabilty either, these items can be left to languish at the back of the drawer, ultimately ending up in landfill.
So, and here’s the big news – high street darling John Lewis & Partners has now joined forces with kids’ clothing rental service, TheLittleLoop. You may have caught wind of the sustainably-minded company after it featured on Dragon’s Den early this year, or in our review of the best kids rental services where it won top spot.
Our tester found it housed “the types of clothes that kids delight in wearing, from ethical brands that appeal to eco-conscious parents, too.” And now, with John Lewis & Partners on board there’s more choice – 48 pieces no less, from jackets and cardigans to hoodies and jeans – than ever.
But how does it work exactly? Starting from £18 a month, which earns you about £165 worth of clothes (or quarterly for £50) the subscription service allows you to swap in items whenever it suits.
