Our Story

Wear a smile! 

We are Vicki and Jim and we create fun, cool, bright, quality clothing for kids. 

We specialise in t-shirts that incorporate the child's name into the screen-printed design of the garment. We pride ourselves on using the best quality cotton jersey, from manufacturers who implement fair trade practices. All of our garments are hand-printed in our studio in Derbyshire.

Founded in 2006, we started out by printing personalised t-shirts on our kitchen table to sell at markets and fairs. Our personalised designs were an instant hit and after we took our business online we saw our little brand grow phenomenally. So much so that it almost crushed us in those early years! Today we are located in our lovely studio in central Glossop and we employ six dedicated members of staff. 

In 2009 we expanded our range to incorporate t-shirts for grown-ups which can be found at www.layereight.co.uk. We still have a complete hands-on approach to all of the processes involved in making our garments. We have built up a great relationship with our factories and every garment is still designed, printed and packed in-house.

If you would like information on our business or any of our products, or just want to say 'hello', just get in touch with us, we're always happy to help.
