Not a huge selection, but I adore what this UK brand does: http://www.belleandboo.com/clothing-c-46.html


For older little girls with a vintage feel, http://www.ilovebreadandjam.com/


But, my personal absolute fave is Aussie brand Oobi - you can get them via this Aussie online shop but I am sure there are also some UK based stockists which a google search may uncover: http://www.littlestyles.com.au/store/pc/dresses-and-skirts-c15.htm


If on more of a budget, Zara does some fabulous stuff, as does H&M.

The clothes from Bonniebaby.co.uk are beautiful quality, soft and very unusual. They are easy to get on and off and perfectly made and presented. They are the kind of thing that you hand down as heirlooms. This is a UK company, but the quality is similar to fabulous French babywear labels.


They are not too pricey, but worn by Gwyneth Paltrow's kids etc. I have been asked to review the clothes off that site for my blog and all the pieces that they sent were just stunning.

I always forget about John Lewis for clothes, but they have a good selection with quite a few different ranges (including their own stuff which can be lovely). My daughter had some lovely things from Joules which JL stock as gifts when she was born- they do some very cute babygrows, with unusual designs/patterns on them.


I always like JoJo Maman Bebe and petit bateau (the latter being slightly more traditional I think).

    • But all those examples sell a wide variety of things,  and mostly they are well spread out along Lordship Lane. These two shops both sell one very specific thing, albeit in different flavours, and are just across the road from each other. I don't think you can compare the distribution of shops in Roman times to the distribution of shops in Lordship Lane in the twenty first century. Well, you can, but it doesn't feel very appropriate. Haa anybody asked the first shop how they feel? Are they happy about the "healthy competition" ?
    • ED is included in the 17 August closure set (or just possibly 15 August, depending on which part of the page you trust more) listed at https://metro.co.uk/2025/07/25/full-list-25-poundland-stores-confirmed-close-august-23753048/. Here incidentally are some snippets from their annual reports, at https://find-and-update.company-information.service.gov.uk/company/02495645/filing-history. 2022: " during the period we opened 41 stores and closed 43 loss-making/under-performing stores.  At the period-end we were trading from 821 stores in the UK, IoM and ROI. ... "We renogotiated 82 leases in the year, saving on average 45% versus the prior lease agreement..." 2023: "We also continued to improve our market footprint through sourcing better store locations, opening 53 and closing 51 stores during the year." 2024:  "The ex-Wilco stores acquired in the prior year have formed a core part of this strategy to expand our store network.  We favour quality over quantity and during the period we opened 84 stores and closed 71 loss-making/under-performing ones."
    • Ha! After I posted this, I thought of lots more examples. Screwfix and the hardware store? Mrs Robinson and Jumping Bean? Chemists, plant shops, hairdressers...  the list goes on... it's good to have healthy competition  Ooooh! Two cheese shops
