Truffles Ruffles Puts Comfort in Fancy

By Emmi Kern

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. Their tagline is “comfortable enough for the playground but fancy enough for the party.” One look at Truffles Ruffles’ line will tell you that it’s all about durable, high-quality kidswear at a good value.

From delicately embroidered blouses to soft, printed leggings to fashionably festooned headbands, there’s something or everyone at Truffles Ruffles. In addition to the blouses, pants and sets available, there are also dresses for holidays and other special occasions. The colors tend toward pinks and lavenders with some black and cream additions. The craftsmanship and attention to detail make each piece interesting and unique, yet they retain a classic look that maintains the innocence of childhood.

Therese Jordan has been in the children’s apparel business since 1983. When her long-time business partner retired in 2011, Therese decided to found a whole new company and make a go of it on her own. She had a vision for the types of clothing she wanted to make available to her customers, and she was determined to find the right people to make her dream a reality.

With the help of fashion designer Carolyn Laporte, Therese creates the designs for Truffles Ruffles; a team of dedicated craftswomen helps the designs comes to life , adding sequins, embroidery, bows, and other embellishments that give the line its signature pizzazz. “We have an assertive marketing vision and plan on doubling our sales in 2014” says Therese. “We’re excited about the future and look forward to a robust year”.
