About Little Darlings

Little Darlings was founded by Paula Finnerty and Julian Carter in 1987. Paula is now recognised as being "one of the most influential of UK childrenswear designers". Aged just 18 she won the Prince of Wales award for design.

At 19 Paula was commissioned to create outfits for the British Royal Princes, William and Harry and later, an assignment to design a new wardrobe for the Crown Prince of Thailand’s daughter led her to her being flown to the Royal Palace in Thailand.

Many UK celebrities including Jamie and Jools Oliver, Carol Smiley and Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen all choose Little Darlings for their children.

We think Paula's designs are particularly special, starting a new sheet for each design, cleverly applying the chosen fabrics and trimmings to best effect, and designing right down to the smallest detail. On closer inspection of her stylish designs you find the little extras which lift her designs on another level.
