Frequently Asked Questions
Spanish-inspired design, European heritage, created in Dubai. Everything you need to know about ordering, sizing, delivery, and caring for your GINGI pieces.
Created in Dubai with a Spanish heart. Here are the answers mums ask us most — from how we design and craft each piece to delivery across the UAE.
About GINGI
What materials are used in your clothing?
Our garments are made from 100% cotton or 100% linen — exactly as stated on each product page and as specified by our fabric suppliers in Europe (including Portugal and Spain) and Asia.
When we source a GOTS-certified fabric, we request the supplier certificate. If GOTS or OEKO-TEX® appears on a product page, it applies to that specific fabric. Not every piece carries the same certification — check the individual listing for full details.
What makes GINGI different from other kids' brands?
GINGI blends Spanish childrenswear inspiration and European heritage with a Dubai-based creative studio. Founded by a mum living in the UAE, every collection is designed with a Spanish heart — artisan details, natural fabrics, and pieces made to be lived in, not kept on a shelf. We produce in small batches, so many styles are limited edition.
Where are GINGI clothes designed and made?
GINGI is created in Dubai, inspired by Spanish kids' fashion and European craft. I live in the UAE and create here, with a Spanish heart and a deep love for the childrenswear I grew up with back home.
Every piece begins as a hand-drawn sketch on paper — inspired by what we see around us, then combined with carefully chosen fabrics, laces, embroideries, mother-of-pearl and wooden buttons. Master tailors with over 40 years of experience craft each garment by hand in selected workshops across Europe and the UAE, depending on the piece. No mass production. No shortcuts. Just real craft.
Tell me about your printed t-shirts
Every GINGI tee is an original design — hand-drawn by us, then refined and digitised for print. Each one tells a little story, often with playful wordplay (think Bananas, Kiwis, Coffee Late…). They're unique to GINGI, made for kids who love personality in what they wear.
What is UAE Kiddo / Generation Shapers?
UAE Kiddo is our limited-edition tee from the Generation Shapers collection. It was inspired by Sheikh Hamdan's message about the Generation Shapers — the mothers, teachers, and mentors who believed in their children first. We wanted to give those women and caregivers the prominence they deserve.
The front features a sun in UAE flag colours; the back, a golden bird in flight above Abu Dhabi coordinates. A celebration of the Emirates and the people who raise the next generation — from the UAE, for UAE kiddos.
Are GINGI pieces limited edition?
Yes — most of our collections are produced in small batches. When a style sells out, it may not return. Keep an eye on New In for fresh drops and Last Chance for final pieces.
What is Last Chance?
Last Chance is our final-units collection — the last remaining pieces from past seasons at reduced prices. Once they're gone, they're gone for good. Sizes and styles are limited, so don't wait if you find something you love.

Last Chance items can be returned within 14 days if unworn, unwashed, and with tags attached — the same policy as full-price pieces. Discount codes and bundle offers may have specific terms shown at checkout.
Sizing & Fit
How do I choose the right size?
Each product page includes a detailed size guide with measurements in centimetres. Measure your child before ordering and compare against the chart. If you're between sizes, we generally recommend sizing up for room to grow.
Do GINGI clothes run true to size?
Our pieces are designed with a comfortable, relaxed fit — perfect for active kids. Most styles run true to size. Check the size guide on each product page, as fit can vary slightly between Baby, Girl, and Boy collections.
What if my child is between sizes?
We recommend sizing up — kids grow fast, and our natural fabrics don't have much stretch. If you're unsure, WhatsApp us with your child's measurements and we'll advise on the best fit.
Are size guides the same for Baby, Girl, and Boy?
Each collection has its own size chart on the product page. Baby sizes are age-based (0–24 months), while Girl and Boy sizes follow standard kids' sizing. Always refer to the guide on the specific item you're buying.
Care & Quality
How should I care for my GINGI garments?
We recommend gentle machine washing at 30°C, turning garments inside out, and air drying. Avoid bleach and high heat. For full guidance — including stain removal and storage tips — visit our Care Guide.
Can I machine wash everything?
Most GINGI cotton and linen pieces can be machine washed on a gentle cycle at 30°C. Always check the care label inside each garment — some items with delicate embroidery or hand-finished details are hand wash only.
How do I care for prints and embroidery?
Always wash printed and embroidered pieces inside out on a cold, delicate cycle. Never iron directly on prints or embroidery — iron inside out on low heat. Avoid tumble drying to preserve colours and details.
Gifts & Packaging
Can I send a GINGI order as a gift?
Absolutely. You can ship to any UAE address. Add a note at checkout or contact us on WhatsApp if you'd like help making it extra special. Our pieces arrive beautifully presented in GINGI packaging.
What are Pouch Bags?
Our Pouch Bags are drawstring bags crafted from leftover cotton fabrics from our clothing collections — because at GINGI, nothing goes to waste. Perfect for storing baby essentials, toiletries, or as a thoughtful gift add-on. Shop Pouch Bags.
