I’ve become rather aware I may be sounding like a bit of a stuck record, banging on about our imminent move from London to California. I mean, it’s kinda hard not to talk about it, given that it has practically taken over my daily existence for the past few months!

It’s a great time to take a pause, and take an objective look at the business. The collection has organically grown over the last year to reflect the demand and feedback I have received about Muklet. When I started just over a year ago I designed and produced Kidswear from age 2-7 years. That has now grown to include apparel from birth through to XXL Adult!

I confess to not yet … Continue reading Finding my Blog & Instagram Voice, and not being a d•@k
A couple of weeks ago we had one heck of a 7 days at Letterman Co HQ. It started with an email from Vogue asking if I’d like to put an advertorial in their October issue, which would feature a handpicked selection of clothing, toys, accessories and furniture for children and babies. With only a day to decide whether to go for it, I called … Continue reading Riding the highs and lows and navigating social media
