Quiggles Kidswear was developed
in a small town on the North Shore of Long Island. We began as family and
friends were having children and baby gifts were being created. After becoming
pregnant myself, with twins, I was confined to bed rest, Bored with TV
and books, I drew, thus the full blown development of our line. After creating
many designs, researching garment manufactures and garment dye houses,
our line was ready for manufacturing and wholesale distribution. The third
floor of our Victorian home was transformed into a studio workshop and
playroom. As the girls would play I would work, all happy together
at our respective "jobs". We continued to distribute our goods to boutiques
nationwide via sales reps attending various shows.
At the birth of my third
child, Quiggles came to a halt, as I joyfully focused more on family than
business. During the summer of 1991 we moved off the Island to a quaint
town in Upstate NY, and I was able to return to my business. We began marketing
our clothing via other channels. We visited Craft Fairs, which proved quite
successful. We started attending a Saturday market in Woodstock. Eventually
we found more and more such markets and additional craft fairs. Today we
are in some of the largest and top ranked juried fairs throughout New England.
We attend 25-30 shows each season, and we also distribute to boutiques
everywhere.
Now we'd like to make this
same fine 100% cotton, handpainted children's clothing available to everyone
via our website. Visit our other pages to view a selection of our clothing.
If you have something special in mind or simply have a question, please
don't hesitate in sending an email. We look forward to serving your children's
clothing needs! |
