DOTTE

dotte was created in 2020 to provide a solution to the fastest area of fashion, but we have rapidly grown into a progressive, fashion-conscious community of like-minded parents. By opening up thousands of children’s wardrobes with our family-to-family marketplace, we offer a simple one-stop-shop where parents can give their kid’s clothes a second life and earn money to reinvest in the brands they love – but also reduce their family carbon footprint and protect the planet.

For this fabulous festive pop up we’ll be bringing a range of sought-after independent labels and popular brands, including Mini Rodini, Bobo Choses, TinyCottons, Another Fox and more.

As well as rails of beautiful second hand garments to explore, there will be a craft station where children will use fabric scraps to create sustainable fashion accessories, explore self expression and get a chance to share their hopes for the future on handmade Christmas decorations.

On top of all this fun, dotte will be providing three creative and family friendly workshops on the theme of promoting sustainability  – one of our core missions!
