HANSAE-MK, a leading Korean fashion company led by co-CEOs Ji-won Kim and Dong-hwan Lim, announced on March 10 that its American kids denim brand Levi's Kids is introducing the 360 Banana Pants, designed with children's active movement in mind.
The 360 Banana Pants are a kids denim product developed to reflect the lifestyles of highly active children. Soft-touch denim and a relaxed silhouette help the pants maintain a stable fit during extended wear and active daily routines.
The '360' in the product name represents all-direction mobility, allowing children to move comfortably through actions such as running and sitting. 'Banana' refers to the curved, three-dimensional pattern structure designed around children's body shapes and movement.
Unlike the straight side seams commonly found in kids denim, the product uses curved side-panel construction. The fabric is designed to follow the body naturally while walking and moving, supporting flexibility around high-motion areas such as the knees and hips. The structural design goes beyond visual detail to create a three-dimensional silhouette that delivers both function and style.
The pants are available in medium blue and dark blue, both of which can be paired with a wide range of tops. Styled with a denim trucker jacket or denim shacket, they create a trend-focused denim-on-denim set-up, while also coordinating naturally with casual pieces such as graphic sweatshirts for everyday wear.
Levi's Kids plans to use the new product to strengthen its kids denim lineup with designs that consider both mobility and style. The brand will expand around silhouettes preferred in the Korean market while carrying Levi's global denim heritage into the kids line to maintain a consistent brand identity.
HANSAE-MK CEO Ji-won Kim said, 'The 360 Banana Pants combine structurally engineered comfort with all-direction mobility to accommodate the full range of children's movement. Drawing on Levi's Kids' denim technology and design expertise, we will continue introducing denim products that children can wear comfortably in everyday life.'
