Many parents know the feeling: You take your little girl to a party in a cute and frilly dress, only to find that she and her friends are more interested in crawling around on the floor pretending to be dinosaurs than they are in sitting demurely for photo ops. Kids will be kids, and get-togethers are meant to be fun after all, so it makes sense to choose some clothing pieces that kids can wear to events, but that can also stand up to normal wear and tear. Truffles Ruffles is a children’s clothing company that offers a variety of pretty, feminine dresses, pants, sets and accessories for little girls.

Kidwai spent time trying to find the boys’ counterparts for all the great designs and variety available for girls. Coming up empty was frustrating — and Kidwai found that many others were expressing the same feelings. It was then she realized that she could use her own strong sense of style and marry it with top-of-the-line textiles to create clothing that many other families would also want.
