Tropel Kids makes bold, sculptural childrenswear designed to make the everyday feel extraordinary.  Made in the UK in small batches, our clothes are comfortable enough for everyday play, but never ordinary.

​

We use mostly 100% cotton for comfort, durability and breathability, with the majority of our fabrics milled here in the UK. Every piece is made by a small, ethical UK manufacturer, a family-run, all-women team who share our values around quality, sustainability and making things with real care.

Hello! I’m Ana, founder of Tropel Kids. My background is in industrial and furniture design, so I’ve always been drawn to colour, shape and function. In 2020, during lockdown, I taught myself to sew as a way to stay sane and stay inspired. As a mum of two, I quickly became the resident fashion designer of the household, dreaming up bright, playful pieces for my kids that made everyday dressing a bit more fun. Then one day, while we were out at a restaurant, a woman complimented my children’s outfits and added, “It’s so nice you let them wear fancy dress out.” 

I smiled, but it got me thinking: why shouldn’t everyday clothes feel extraordinary?

​

That moment planted the seed for Tropel Kids, but the brand didn’t happen overnight. It took two years to bring together the right fabrics, makers and ideas and create something that felt genuinely worth putting into the world.

Today, Tropel Kids is all about sculptural comfort, creative freedom and joyful self-expression. We make bold, wearable clothes designed to be lived in, loved and passed on.

No beige basics. No fast fashion. Just joyful, well-made clothes for small people with big personalities.
