history of Trotters

In the Beginning

What was and is still so special about Trotters?

Back to About Us

Founded by Sophie Mirman and husband Richard Ross, 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.

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 with a giant fish tank. 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 0-10 years. New ranges are introduced all the time as Trotters sources the best from all over the world. All of our clothing is exclusive to Trotters and you won’t find it anywhere else. Prices are highly competitive and as there is no VAT on childrenswear in the U.K., Trotters has become a mecca for overseas visitors.

Our second store opened in April 1992 at 127 Kensington High Street, London, W8 and subsequently, stores have opened in Northcote Road, Turnham Green and outside of London in Guildford. In the Autumn of 2010 we opened our doors globally with the launch of our new website! To see all our store locations, please click here.

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. Sophie has won many awards including 'Business Woman of the Year', 'Marketing Woman of the Year' and 'Motivator of the Year'.
