In the loop... with Coral Atkinson
In the first of our new series "In the loop...", we spoke with Coral Atkinson, mother of three and owner of decor brand Velveteen Babies (we're in awe!), to find out how long she's been shopping secondhand, her fav brands, and the one item in her kids wardrobe that she couldn't live without.
Tell us a little bit about you...
I live near to Harrogate in North Yorkshire. I own and run a kids room decor brand called Velveteen Babies alongside raising my three children: Felix 9, Barnaby 7 and Willa, 4.
Why were you excited to join dotte?
I’ve always loved knowing that my children’s outgrown clothing gets to be enjoyed by someone else, and equally I’ve always loved finding pre-loved gems for my children from favourite brands over the years- dotte makes finding things and selling the things we’ve loved so much easier! The ethos of reducing waste and circular fashion is really important to me too.
When you look in your kids wardrobe, what brands do you see?
Bobo Choses, The Middle Daughter, Mini Rodini, Zara, Cub and Pudding, Beau Loves, Repose Ams, Main Story!
What's your favourite piece?
Willa’s Bobo dress!
And...what's your kids favourite piece/s? The thing they'd always pick.
A comfy dress or a slouchy tee and leggings.
