Leading Brazilian clothing brand Malwee has introduced a range of functional QR code-embedded t-shirts for kits that seek to give peace of mind to parents and caregivers should the child be lost. Dubbed the Me Encontre collection — or 'Find Me' in English, each garment in the collection features a QR code that someone could scan and gain access to the child's emergency contact information. This can be especially useful in crowded areas where kids are prone to get lost.
Currently, the QR code-embedded beachwear collection includes unisex children's beach T-shirts in vibrant monochromatic colorways, with the brand likely aiming to expand its offerings in the future. Beyond the tech-advanced feature, the garments in the Me Encontre collection also offer UV protection.
