DISCOVER OUR BOOKSHOP

CLOTHES WITH PERSONALITY

We carefully source beautiful products for children to play with, read, wear, collect, learn from, climb on, chew, whack, build, knock over, count, nurture, laugh at, throw, catch, pull along, push along, assemble, dress up, wobble, stack, cuddle and be inspired by.

With a range of toys, books and clothes that are inclusive and empowering, we can help support kids in feeling great about being their own unique selves. Celebrating individuality, diversity and design, all without harming the planet.

We are an independent business made of a small team of passionate individuals who care deeply about this shop and it's ethos. We know representation matters, and the toys, clothes and books that children have access to can help them express themselves. We understand that reinforcing stereotypes can limit the possibilities and interests of our children, which is why all the items we chose are perfect for any little individual.
