A quote from a client or journalist : “There is no getting away from the romance of Hucklebones, the whimsical childrenswear label for little girls aged two to eight, launched three years ago by the childhood sweethearts Zoe India Goldsmith and Dan Stockley. With a reputation for careful tailoring in silk, cotton drill and wool, the clothes look nostalgically back to the day when children’s clothes were not mass–produced, piled high, and sold cheap.” – Daisy Bridgewater for the Telegraph – April 2011.

Main materials used : Silks, fine cotton lawn and voiles. Lace, Jacquards and for winter beautiful wool fabrics.
Your trade show planning for next season : For SS13 we showed at Bubble London and Playtime Paris and will be at Playtime Tokyo too in August – For AW13 we are planning to do the same.
