My name is Emma - and I own The Little Clothes Show in Alton, Hampshire, a little corner of loveliness selling some wonderful clothes for children.
Now, I don't profess to know the world about Children's clothes - but I know what I like and I can see what what my own children prefer.
I hope that I can use these ideas to good effect in my shop and online.
I would like to use this blog space in order to promote good clothes for kids. Positive, attractive designs and top quality manufacture.
I want others to see some of the ideas that I have and I want to learn from others; from parents; grandparents; guardians and the kids themselves what it is that they like. What brands and designs they would recommend to others and why.
I want to provoke a debate on the state of bulk produced, mass imported clothes from companies and manufacturers who, shall we say - have a less than attractive record in the general treatment of the people they employ.
I want to know whether in these difficult times, whether price or quality is the most important driver in the consumer purchase process.
A good quality garment may cost much more than a cheap piece of clothing bought from a 'stack em-high' but it will last so much longer.
With this in mind, will people ever get back to the idea of 'hand me downs' or is this going to be forever a dirty phrase, associated with poverty and with a mean and thrifty undercurrent?
Surely, in this changing world, a little thrift might go a long way.
I am very interested in your views and opinions.
