HUGE February and March!

KIDS IN STYLE:

How does time fly so quickly? In just two weeks now we head up to Sydney for a rather busy selling period.

Magnolia Square - SYDNEY:
For the customers, following Kids In Style, we are sticking around in Sydney with our pop up shop present at the first Magnolia Square for the year - Paddington Town Hall 25th - 2th Feb.




Then a mad rush home to finalise and deliver our Winter 2011 orders! A couple of sneak preview pictures:







Magnolia Square - MELBOURNE:

Followed up by another pop up shop present at Magnolia Square in Melbourne - St Kilda Town Hall, 3rd to 6th March 2011.

Changing Times, Kids In Style and Christmas SALE........

Well, we are gearing up for big changes at Little Chillies.......

Christmas Sale

Firstly...... After a little website neglect, we have finally updated our shop with all of our available products and are having a Christmas Sale - 20% off everything! :-) Bear with us while we update the pricing on the website (such a slow process!). Customers at our recent markets may have already noticed our sales! It's time to clear out the old and make way for the new, which leads us to the change......

Manufacturing

Up until now, we have handcrafted very small quantities (a few items of this and that) and enjoyed making garments with a variety of beautiful quilting fabrics :-). But we are very excited about shifting our little hobby's direction and taking a business approach. Over the course of this year, Little Chillies has been working with a fantastic pattern maker in Sydney, sourcing our fabrics from local textile companies, started working with a local manufacturer in Melbourne, and are now finally entering the world of selling wholesale.

Sizing

At present we have been handcrafting up to size 2. As of 2011, with the benefit of pattern maker grading and an external maker we will be extending our size range up to size 4 :-)

Kids In Style

Very excitingly (and similtaneously stressful ;-)) we will be attending our first trade fair in Sydney during Feb 2011, to show our first collection (Summer 2011) for wholesale. It's a little while yet before the customers get to see the new Little Chillies, but very soon we finally give the retailers a taste of what we have been brewing. We will finally feel like a real label!

Closing for Christmas Holidays

We will be closing down for Christmas for a two weeks over Christmas between 22nd December to the 9th January 2011. So if we don't respond to your emails during this period, we will get onto you as soon as we are back on the 10th January 2011.

Merry Christmas,
Little Chillies.

In the Media and Blogs......

We always love a bit of Little Chillies promotion! We have been featured in a couple of fabulous Magazines over the past two months. We had a page in the 25th edition of Studio Bambini (Let's Shop) and had a mention or two in LittleONE baby (a divine Magazine) and also in My Child.

Happy 25th Birthday Studio Bambini, you have such a fabulous magazine :-)


Our French Floral Outfit was featured in summer 2010/11 My Child Edition.




Our Party dress in Teal and matching Party Shoes were modelled by a bub in LittleONE baby. We think the outfit may have swallowed the poor little thing!



LittleONE baby also featured our Roller Girl gift pack, which includes a cute Kimono, pair of shoes matching shoes and soft toy (elephant or Owl).




Thanks also, to Handmade Kids for another lovely feature on our 2010 Spring/Summer Collection :-) Check it out:
