đ§”âš Jackalo Update: Navigating New Tariffs with Purpose + Resilience

Published on Apr 8
đ A Challenge Weâre Rising To
New U.S. tariffs on imports from Indiaâ26% on top of the existing 16.6% tariffâare putting pressure on our margins. But at Jackalo, we donât cut corners. We double down on our values:
â High-quality
â Sustainably made
â Built to last
We partner with certified-organic factories in India because theyâre among the few that meet our rigorous standards. There are no U.S. factories currently certified for organic childrenâs wearâso adapting without compromising is our mission.
đȘ How Weâre Responding (and Staying Ahead)
â Strong Inventory Position
We have a solid amount of inventory, giving us room to breathe. Weâre focusing now on restocking bestsellers and a few new stylesâno panic, just smart planning.
đ§” Managing Production with Intention
Weâre collaborating with our factory partners to explore cost-saving solutions. Our goal: keep things moving without sacrificing quality or values.
đ Circularity Isnât a BuzzwordâItâs Our Backbone
Our TradeUp program gives families credit for sending back outgrown clothes, which we renew or responsibly recycle. Itâs good for the planet and our bottom lineâespecially when new production gets more expensive.
đ Exploring New Paths
We will likely test small-batch and nearshore manufacturing for lower-cost items. While core pieces like pants are still best made with our India partners, weâre actively exploring flexible, lower-impact production options.
đ Why This Moment Matters
Weâre not just adjustingâweâre advancing. Tariffs challenge the way we operate, but purpose at Jackalo is bigger than tariffs: to fix whatâs broken in the kidsâ clothing industry.
With your support, weâre building a resilient, responsible, and scalable business. One thatâs future-facing and fiercely mission-driven.
Letâs change the gameâtogether.
Join us in building the future of kidsâ clothing.
