Their quality and cut makes them stand out from the high street and so many have such great stories to tell - be it the makers or the face behind the brand.

Don't Grow Up

I love discovering small, independent brands on social media and was really excited to see such amazing prints from Polish kids brand Don’t Grow Up on there. They are fairtrade and use organic fabrics and I like their ethos of staying a kid at heart. Their nautical prints - think mermaids, sailors submarines and fishes - are really fun and the shapes are modern and comfortable.
