Little Darlings was founded by
Paula Finnerty and Julian Carter in 1987. Paula is
now recognised as being ”one
of the most influential of UK childrenswear designers”.
Aged just 18 she won the Prince of Wales award
for design, and from this the business quickly
flourished.
At 19 Paula was commissioned to create outfits
for the British royals William and Harry and later, an assignment
to design a new wardrobe
for the Crown Prince of Thailand’s daughter led her to her
being flown to the Royal Palace in Thailand.
Many personalities including Jamie and Jools Oliver,
Carol Smiley and Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen all choose Little Darlings
for their
kids.
Little Darlings is now renowned for its
stylish collections of girls clothing and christening wear which
are sold worldwide. Little Darlings
success is undoubtedly attributable to it’s uncompromising
dedication to creative design, quality production and customer service. 
Brands marketed are Little Darlings fashion, Little Darlings Christening/Communion
and Sulk. (Visit sulkclothing.com and christeningwear.com for more

Carter is managing director of Little Darlings and has directed
the commercial development of the business
since 87 to it’s
strong financial position today.
