Trotters was founded by Sophie Mirman and her husband Richard Ross in October 1990 when they opened the doors to our first store on King's Road in Chelsea. Catering from top to toe and offering a fantastic range of clothes, shoes, books and toys, the stores also boast a magnificent hairdressing department with giant fish tanks. It was the first store of its kind to be dedicated solely to children.
The business has since grown to six stores in and around London, with a website that sells to customers around the world. However, the ethos has never changed and Trotters remains somewhere where children are always excited to go.
All of the clothing ranges are exclusive to Trotters, and quality and provenance are key to what we do.
Their daughter, Natasha, now works in the family business as well as the company COO.
Prior to setting up Trotters, Sophie and Richard were involved in the establishment of the Tie Rack and then went on to create Sock Shop.
