Founded in the year 2000, Bob & Blossom pre-dates (and arguably inspired) so much of what we now see as ubiquitous in the field of independent kids fashion. Currently operating from a small but perfectly formed shop on London’s achingly trendy Columbia Road (of Sunday morning flower market fame), the brand does a fine line in what you might call “beautiful basics”.

Breton tops, cotton tees, easy-fit grey marl sweatshirts, dinky trousers – many enlivened with simple prints in pretty colours, or else with cute slogans like “Believe in Magic”.

One speciality is the tutu, returning for AW18 in flouncy, foamy peach and coral chiffon, with an elastic waist (for comfort and convenience) and a shiny satin bow (for sheer sass). It’s the ideal iteration of a product that’s all too often fudged or needlessly tweaked, and little princesses will love it. Put it all together and you have a one-stop shop for both everyday casuals and glamorous finishing touches. Add the brand’s range of pretty accessories to the mix and you hardly need to shop elsewhere. It’s great for gifting, too – they even create their own line of gold-spot polka-dot gift packaging.

If you would like to win a pair of Bob & Blossom tutus for you and a friend, take a look at our competition which ends on the 4th of September.
