I thought this a good opportunity to re-introduce myself and my little brand to our newer followers; I’m Anna, the woman behind Raph & Rose. Day to day I wear many hats, Wife, small business owner and Mother to my head-strong toddler Philippa who is equal parts my biggest inspiration, cheerleader and distraction! Although I launched R&R a while before Pippa arrived, it wasn’t until she was born did it became apparent to me the huge hole in the clothing industry for mothers like myself who not only want fun, bright, colourful clothing that children actually want to wear, but to have clothing that doesn’t reinforce age old gender stereotypes to the next generation of tiny humans. And this is where my mission statement and true passion for what I’ve been working on was was truly founded.
To project a message that there is no such thing as girls clothes and boys clothes and that kids should be able to wear what they feel confident and comfortable in, to be free, to play, to learn and to grow without restriction or boundaries.
So with that as my simple guiding principle, I design, make and package everything here in my home workshop in South Oxfordshire. Every single item is made with love and with care, in the hopes that your little ones love dancing, jumping and climbing in these pieces, just as much as I love making them! 🌟
