The first Trotters opened its doors in October 1990 at 34 Kings Road, Chelsea, London, SW3.  We remember it well as crowds formed outside the doors awaiting the great moment. 

What was and still is so special about Trotters?  Trotters was the first store dedicated solely to children.  Catering from top to toe and offering a fantastic range of clothes, shoes, books and toys, the store also boasts a magnificent hairdressing department.  It truly is a one-stop shop and there is always a buzz about the place.

Originally concentrating on the 0-8 age group, customer demand has led Trotters to increase this to 0-11 years.  New ranges are introduced all the time as Trotters sources the best from all over the world.  Prices are highly competitive and as there is no VAT on childrenswear in the U.K., Trotters has become a mecca for overseas visitors. 

A second store opened in April 1992 at 127 Kensington High Street, London, W8.

Trotters was founded by Sophie Mirman and husband Richard Ross.  Sophie has won many awards including ‘Business Woman of the Year’, ‘Marketing Woman of the Year’ and ‘Motivator of the Year’.  As a team, Sophie and Richard were involved in the establishment of the ‘Tie Rack’ in England and went on to create ‘Sock Shop’ and thereafter Trotters.
