About First Adventures

First Adventures is a family-founded brand and online store specializing in kids' and baby clothing, started by Sanne Cornelissen and her mother. Inspired by the arrival of their first grandson and nephew, this mother-daughter team created First Adventures to provide stylish, durable kids' clothing that can be cherished for generations. With the support of skilled women from the theatre industry, they've crafted and tested designs that not only fit well but also grow with the child.

But First Adventures is more than just fashion—it's a celebration of family, creativity, and sustainability. Each piece tells a story, connecting tradition with modern design.  

First Adventures x Makers Unite

In 2023, First Adventures partnered with Makers Unite for the production of denim dungarees. Makers Unite is an Amsterdam-based foundation that wants to help creative newcomers in the Netherlands. They do this mostly through collaborations with other parties in order to give the newcomers an idea of the Dutch creative industry.
