The grand launch on Sunday at Wuse II, witnessed parents alongside their kids throng the opening event to patronise and savour in the convivial atmosphere.
Speaking at the unveiling, The CEO, Mrs Rosemary Uwegba said her dealing in clothings started online, but now decided to expand by setting up a walk-in store for kids clothing.
“We observed that everybody doing clothing and luxury business mostly focuses on adults, so we thought of bringing something different, that’s why we brought in kids because the kids should not be left out.
“I was personally into shopping for adult clothes, when I got pregnant I started shopping for my twins, that was when I began to see the uniqueness of baby clothes, and so we decided to set up this store. My children are actually the inspiration behind this business.
Uwegba stressed that kids’ clothing is essential because they grow everyday, and their clothing needs to be changed as they grow. “We have fitting wears for the kids and all these items are all exclusive and nice products from different top brands.”
On the affordability, she said, “Our clothing are not really expensive, they are all affordable with high quality. We have got different prices for different age grades.
She advised premium parents to always ensure their children look as good as they look, by shopping for quality clothes for them.
Also speaking, Mrs Aisha Umar, who came with her kids, while taking a tour around the store expressed delight in the clothing stock and quality. “The quality is really good and the store is also beautiful. I love to make my children stand out in their appearance, so I’m happy to be here. I promise to frequent here to shop for my children.”
