In the few years since its launch, Apolina has gained a cult following. The nostalgic, embroidered dresses, tunics, bloomers and bonnets are timeless. They’re perfect with chunky knits and wool socks on colder days.

Crochet Revival

Crochet has made a comeback this spring, in clothing as in décor. Misha + Puff’s hand-knits for babies and children are the most desirable, with the finest attention to detail. Not to mention the faded candy colours and retro-inspired styles – they’re easily the prettiest we’ve seen so far.
Best of British

Hollyz is a British-born brand producing a wide range of clothing and accessories that add sparkle to the everyday. We love the cashmere and fine wool-blend Alice Cape, guaranteed to make any little girl feel like a princess. £102;
Dream Jeans

We made a beeline for this newly launched denim brand at a trade show earlier this year. Sustainability is at the heart of the business – and everything is made from vintage Levi’s because they’re the softest denim. £26;
