SHIPPING CHARGES - Our maximum charge for non-urgent UK orders under £60 is £4.95 (we will charge less if the item costs us signficantly less to send).  For Special Delivery 1pm or UK orders >£60 the maximum charge is £8.95 (any orders sent Special on Fridays for Saturday delivery incur an additional £3 charge).  Again, if the package is light in weight, we may* charge only at cost and this deduction will be made on shipment.   UK full-price orders over £100 are sent post-free*.  All deductions are discretionary for customers not paying by Paypal, and are made when we finalise your payment.    Overseas shipping prices are estimates and we will advise you of the actual cost - which could be lower or higher than shown.  We will inform you if the cost will be higher before processing your order.  If you qualify for free postage, this is based on retained goods and we reserve the right to deduct our postage costs, should you return a substantial part of your order for refund.

Cotswold Kids offers quality, classic baby and children's fashion, from birth to 8 years, and special occasion wear from birth to 10 years. 

There is something for everyone, with beautiful baby and children's clothing from classic English labels Hunter, Sarah Louise and Lucas Frank, French-inspired British brand Emile et Rose, and the renowned Mayoral, famously from Spain.

New baby gifts include gift-boxed outfits by Emile and Rose, toys from Jellykitten and Jellycat, Merry Berries strawberry-shaped hats in 100% cotton, cupcake and strawberry bibs from Beauty and the Bib, SockOns, to keep baby's socks on, DribbleOns to keep little dribblers dry, and the stylish Callaghan Jacks bandana bibs, pram blankets, cot blankets and taggie-style comforters, all hand-made in England!

Dressing Up Costumes

The new Travis dressing-up catalogue will be loaded on our website soon, offering a wide range of dressing-up outfits, from fairy dresses, princesses, mermaids and ball-gowns for girls, to knights, wizards and pirates for boys, several up to age 11. 

There are some cute outfits for toddlers too, including an adorable bumble-bee and ladybird. And you'll find some great accessories to match: the must-have wands and party shoes, and some of the outfits, like the pirate, come complete with extras such as hat and cutlass!

Christmas and Hallowe'en are well covered, with some truly fantastic costumes for parties and Trick or Treat, much better quality that you would find on the High Street -costumes that will last and not fall apart. The sequinned ball-gowns are so special that many brides choose them for maid-of-honour, bridesmaid or flower girl dresses, and the matching bags make a great gift.

Our dressing-up range is usually available by mail-order only, but we are happy to order any style for collection from our Witney-based store, if you prefer.

More birth and christening gift ideas

The new Enfant collection from Repeat Repeat brings christening mugs, bridesmaid mugs, egg cups, keepsake boxes, my first curl box, photo frames and piggy-bank money boxes, in English porcelain, in various designs, including Little Duck, Tweet and Precious.  Coming soon to the website!

Plus limited availability on The Humphrey's Corner range of collectable ceramics by Gund  - My First Birthday photo frame and Humphrey room plaque.  Plus Baby Jack night-time miniature figurine.

More Fashion

We specialise in ranges that that cater for traditional tastes in baby and children's clothes, including Sarah Louise, Dani, D'arcy Brown and Mayoral. Although there are fashionable elements, these labels are renowned for their timelessness, quality and value. Sarah Louise always has a range of beautiful smocked dresses, some available as sets with frilly pants, and we also stock the Sarah Louise frilly pants in white, ivory and pink, to match most outfits. Sarah Louise has a fantastic catalogue, and although it is not possible to stock everything at Cotswold Kids (our current Sarah Louise stock is usually on our website), customers are invited to look at the Sarah Louise website www.sarah-louise.com and, subject to availability, we would be happy to order any item for delivery to you usually within one week. We can also add you to our mailing list and ensure you receive each new season's Sarah Louise and Dani catalogues.  Contact the shop direct if you need more information.  As well as the traditional smocked dresses, Sarah Louise always has a fashion range each season, and is famous for its tailored winter coats and party dresses, as well as christening and first-communion wear; there's also a range of bridesmaid dresses and Noel Bryan suits or trousers and blazers, with shirts, ties and waistcoats for boys. Again, see the Sarah Louise website.

Sarah Louise is a label that is particularly famous for smocked dresses, but it's not just dresses in their collection - you'll also find rompers for boys, skirt & top ensembles and fantastic knitwear too.  So you'll  be sure to find something for your little princes and princesses!

Another label famous for traditional clothes for boys and girls is Pretty Originals. We hold a limited amount of stock of the baby shoes, and, like Sarah Louise, you may check out their website www.prettyoriginals.co.uk and we can order on your behalf.

Little LInens offers classic summer shirts and shorts for boys, plus cotton-knit tank tops, and gorgeous dresses and knitwear for girls, up to 13 years of age. 

Hand-knits from Nepal by Club Himalayan, including cotton cardigans and jumpers which are suitable for wear all year round.  A new winter collection of hand-knit wool cardigans and hats lined in fleece, with matching scarves, gloves and mittens.  Fair trade goods.

If you can't find what is described above on the website, email us and we'll let you have more information a.s.a.p.

At the end of each season it's sale time! Of course, we can't guarantee a huge choice, as many people choose to buy their favourite items early in the season, to be sure they get what they want for their children.  However, the Sarah Louise sale, the Dani sale, the D'Arcy Brown sale and Mayoral Sale usually start at the same time - with reductions mid-season and clearance sale towards the end of each season. So for cheap Sarah Louise smocked dresses, cheap D'Arcy Brown, cheap Mayoral and cheap Dani clothes, come to Cotswold Kids at sale time.  The Pampolina sale and general kids fashion sales usually start at the same time.  For Sarah Louise bargains, cheap cashmere children's coats, Mayoral baby sale and designer childrenswear sale of Pampolina and cheap christening gowns, come to Cotswold Kids and you'll get a great price, if you shop at the right time, or look out for special promotions in our christening wear sale.

Choosing Kids Clothing - Tips and Hints

When we become parents we take on a mountain of responsibilities and one of these is choosing clothes for our children. Long gone are the days when our only sartorial concern was how to dress ourselves, as parents are not only responsible for their own wardrobe, but also their children`s. Unfortunately, any parent will be able to confirm that clothing children can be a tricky business, as not only do children need different things from their clothes than adults, but they also have a (rather inconvenient) tendency to grow out of them pretty quickly! With that in mind, here are a few handy hints and tips to keep in mind when buying clothes for your little ones…

If you are buying clothes for infants who are at the crawling stage, then durable items are a must (particularly around the knee area!). For little boys trousers made of materials such as cord or light denim are ideal, as these are robust materials that will be able to endure crawling. A good example of an ideal pair of trousers for crawling toddlers are the cord trousers. When it comes to little girls, many parents like to put them in dresses, however this is not practical for crawling and can prove both uncomfortable and frustrating for an active toddler. Instead playsuits such as the Hatley pink bears hooded all-in-one playsuit are ideal and just as cute!

Once toddlers are walking the things they need from clothing are very different, particularly when they are potty training. Boys are best of wearing separates during potty training, as this will make removing clothes much easier for them. Mayoral boy`s pinstripe Bermuda shorts worn with a t-shirt or jumper, for example, is ideal. When dressing little girls, dresses such as the Sarah Louise pinafore dress are ideal for the potty training period, as they are practical as well as looking rather sweet!   Dungarees are great for boys and girls alike, but are often difficult to source.

Another important factor to remember when buying children`s clothing is the pattern, print and colour of the item. However lovely white and pastel shades may appear on the hanger, customers worry they`re likely to become spoilt very quickly.  This is why we recommend Sarah Louise in particular as a brand, as the fabrics they choose are easy-care and wash time after time, always coming up like new.  Some parents would instead opt for deep or bright colours and bold prints, such as a Ruth Lednik stripey hooded sweater for boys. It is equally important to take materials into consideration – children`s clothing should be practical and durable, so we avoid anything that needs to be dry cleaned, except of course for the classic Sarah Louise cashmere coats and reefer jackets! Opt for simple, classic designs – this will make clothes more comfortable for your children to wear and make will certainly make it easier for little ones to learn how to dress themselves.

When choosing what footwear to buy your children practicality is imperative, which is why Hatley rain boots are such a great choice for little boys or little girls! Ideally buy shoes that fit but that allow a little room for growth if possible and avoid anything that will be difficult for little ones to get on and off their feet. Lastly, make sure any shoes you buy your children fit them comfortably, as they`re likely to refuse to wear anything that pinches their toes!
