Featuring an earthly colour palette of cream, green, orange, and yellow, this collection includes everything from their signature knitted leggings and graphic tops to cosy hoodies, sweet dresses, booties, and even character-themed rucksacks.

Designed for active little ones, the pieces prominently showcase beloved characters like the Gruffalo and the clever little Mouse, making them perfect for everyday wear and outdoor exploring.

True to the brand's reputation, each piece in this collection is crafted from incredibly soft, skin-friendly cotton blends designed to withstand the rough-and-tumble nature of childhood. To keep parents happy, the durable garments carry proud ethical credentials—including OEKO-TEX certification—ensuring they are free from harmful substances while staying comfortable all day long. Available in sizes ranging from newborns up to older junior kids, this charming collection beautifully balances whimsical storybook nostalgia with practical, high-quality design.

Product FAQs

Yes! To take the stress out of change time, our tops (up to size 2–3 Years) feature clever contrasting shoulder snaps (poppers). This creates a much wider neck opening so you can easily slide the top over your little one's head without any tugging or tight squeezes.

Our tops are designed with a generous, relaxed fit to ensure kids have plenty of room to stretch, wiggle, and play. They generally run true to size with a comfortable amount of natural stretch. If your child is currently between sizes, we recommend sizing up to get the absolute longest wear out of the top.

To keep the colours bright and the brushed cotton feeling wonderfully soft, machine wash the tops on a cool, delicate cycle (around 30°C / 86°F). We recommend washing them inside out and letting them air dry flat. Please avoid tumble drying to protect the integrity of the fun graphic prints and appliques.
