Kids Get the Royal Treatment with Crowns & Coronets
In the eyes of many parents, their little girl is a princess and their little boy is a prince. Families are interested in providing only the finest for their children –– but what that means has changed in the last fifty years. As careful consumers, families not only want to provide beautiful, durable garments for their little ones, but also are mindful of the impact those purchases have on local economies. In addition, more consumers seek brands that focus on creating designs that are sustainable and eco-friendly. Helena Hubbard understands the desire to provide sophisticated designs that meet the values and ideals of an increasingly informed customer base. “We have seen an enthusiastic response to our commitment to handcrafting every garment in England,” explains Hubbard, the founder of Crowns & Coronets. She is committed to providing luxurious, natural clothing that makes every little prince and princess shine, while helping to preserve their “kingdom” for a new generation.
Crowns & Coronets pieces wrap children in gentle luxury. Clothing is constructed from fine textiles, including Tibetan yak down fiber, and an upcoming wool line is sourced from special breeds of British sheep. Yak down is blended with bamboo to create a lightweight fabric that is easy on children’s skin but can stand up to a few rounds of Tag. The emphasis on quality cannot be overstated: garments are handmade and production of the clothing supports myriad artisans.
While any piece from the collection would be a treat, customer demand has been particularly strong for children’s tops. “Our best-selling garments include the boys’ tank tops and girls’ antique ivory boleros are ideal for Christenings and weddings,” explains Hubbard, tacitly acknowledging a building trend towards more formal holiday and special-event gatherings. “Our short-sleeved striped dresses in rich red, blush pink, and sky blue have also been flying off the shelves, as well as our baby gift sets.” Boys can also step out in style in the midnight blue blazers or charming striped waistcoats. Crowns & Coronets clothing is designed for girls and boys, ages 0-6.
Crowns & Coronets 2014 spring designs are a marriage of sophistication and style. “Our spring collection is built around a larger range of antique ivory cardigans for boys and girls and ivory dresses for special occasions,” notes Hubbard.
