Trotters was founded by Sophie Mirman and her husband Richard Ross, when they opened the doors to our first store in October 1990 on King's Road in Chelsea. Now in our 25th year, we have expanded to six stores, and a website from where we sell to customers worldwide. We were the first store dedicated solely to children. Catering from top to toe and offering a fantastic range of clothes, shoes, books and toys, the stores also boast a magnificent hairdressing department with a giant fish tanks. It truly is a one-stop shop and there is always a buzz about the place. Originally concentrating on the 0-8 age group, customer demand has led us to increase this to 0-10 years. New ranges are introduced all the time and we source the best products from all over the world. All of our clothing is exclusive to Trotters and you won't find it anywhere else. Prices are highly competitive and as there is no VAT on childrenswear in the U.K., we have become a mecca for overseas visitors. As a team, Sophie and Richard were involved in the establishment of the Tie Rack in England and went on to create Sock Shop, and thereafter Trotters. We are still very much a family-run business, with their daughter Natasha now working in the business as well.
