There was so much emerging talent at Dot to Dot that it made our job of selecting The Ones to Watch very difficult but what a lovely day walking through the show talking with the exhibitors and looking through the collections. So many were producing at their country of origin (in this case mainly the UK), which is great to see. So without further ado here are our Pirouette One to Watch winners from Dot to Dot London for ‘Children’s Fashion & Accessories’ and ‘Children’s Design’ …
The Pirouette One to Watch Dot to Dot
Winners
Children’s Fashion and Accessories
Mini Stitches
So much more than a beautiful brand Mini Stitches is part of the charity Stitches in Time providing women struggling to overcome personal issues and long term unemployment by empowering the ladies with skills to enter the workplace. This exciting label is testament to their initiative and hard work.
Children’s Design
Owl and Dog playbooks

Is it a book, is it a dinosaur, is it bear? No it’s a playbook…somewhere between a book and a toy. Owl and dog playbooks are designed to be read and used creatively. They are clever, fantastic fun and beautifully designed for children.
We will be posting about these worthy winners along with some of the others fantastic brands we encountered in the very near future.
