High-end fashion designer Stella McCartney released a new Donkey Collection for babies, toddlers and kids -- a line of unique pieces that are all perfect for the summer.

The new line features the brand's famous high-quality materials, hand stitching, unique design and bold patterns. Focused mainly on donkeys, the collection includes simple pieces such as printed sweaters, long-sleeved shirts, shorts and onesies. The line also features bold denim jackets, jeans, overalls and shirts that feature streetwear-inspired designs, like tattered fringe edges and an adorable blue two-toned colorway.

Stella McCartney's new Donkey Collection is available online with prices ranging from $59 to $125, with a lightweight and comfortable design for stylish children to wear all summer.
