Nobody’s Child debuts digital product passports

Nobody’s Child has announced the launch of digital product passports (DPPs), empowering customers to make more conscious and informed choices, the brand has added unique QR codes to the care label of each product.

The initial rollout will be across the Happy Place Fearne Cotton collection which will be available online at nobodyschild.com and Nobody’s Child stores, as well as key retail partner; M&S. Nobody’s Child have plans to have the DPPs across all garments by the end of 2024.

Easily scanned by a smartphone, each QR code takes the customer on a detailed journey of that product’s creation, a level of transparency CEO Jody Plows has been on a mission to introduce. The DPP has been designed with upcoming EU product transparency legislation in mind, ensuring that all key product information is captured and catalogued using Xelacore technology.

Powered by Fabacus, a digital transformation agency, Nobody’s Child has harnessed its Xelacore technology to track and translate the gathering of numerous data points. The fashion brand is proud of the relationships it’s built with a close network of suppliers throughout the world and the launch of these DPPs is a testament to that; mapping key stages of the supply chain from processing of the raw materials, through to the yarn and fabric mills, and finally to the garment factories where the final products are sewn together.

On scanning the DPP via a QR code in the care label, consumers will be taken to a landing page which includes the product’s lifecycle carbon footprint, taking account for raw materials, finished good manufacturing, logistics, packaging, product care and end-use. The page will also provide product care advice to help customers make their item last longer, as well as links to circular service partners – repair/alterations, rental and pre-loved.

Consumers will be encouraged to trace their garments and visiting the Nobody’s Child Digital Product Passport will be incentivised with gifts and the ability to download a unique non-fungible token (NFT) by way of a digital receipt, via a further collaboration with Coinbase to bridge the customer-to-brand gap. The Coinbase partnership enables Nobody’s Child to connect to their customers using Web3 technology, and users will be able to store the Nobody’s Child Digital Product Passport NFT within a Coinbase digital wallet.

Jody Plows, CEO, Nobody’s Child: “I’m delighted to announce that Nobody’s Child has launched digital product passports.
