Classic Children's Clothing
Little English designs upscale, classic children's clothing so that your children can be well-dressed as children. While we do have items that showcase traditional smocking and hand-sewn French knots, we are constantly trying to breathe life into these clean designs for today's modern world. We've achieved this by sourcing new fabrics from London, Spain, and even designing our own.
For the Spring 2018 season, we introduced a new motto for LE: Timeless Styles - Fresh Fabrics. We were really excited for this new way of thinking as it allowed us to further our designs to be relevant & slightly fashion forward with color trends and prints.
One thing that we know is true- classic children's clothes will never go out of style. The traditional peter pan collars, the sweet gathers that create movement, & the darling bubble leg looks are here to stay- And we like it that way! After all, they are only little for such a little while.
Childhood is short. Dress them as children.
