Roald Dahl-inspired clothing range for kids from Boden

By Leave a Comment

metroThere is now a limited-edition children’s range of Roald Dahl clothing.

The clothing features styles inspired by the likes of James And The Giant Peach, Matilda, The Twits, BFG, Charlie And The Chocolate Factory and Fantastic Mr Fox. So, pretty much all of them.

The range, which comes courtesy of Boden, is here to celebrate Roald Dahl’s ‘bonkers imagination and British sense of humour’.

Boden feels Roald Dahl’s stories and characters offer encourage ‘a bit of troublemaking’ – and that’s what they hope to channel through their children’s clothing.

Having joined forces with the Roald Dahl Literary Estate, Boden are taking illustrative details from the much-loved children’s books and portraying them through their own materials.

Sadly, the range is available to US customers only

Children’s wear designer Rachel Riley (and Princess Kate‘s go-to label for Prince George) is introducing a new Eloise-themed collection to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the beloved children’s stories.

From sparkling dresses to whimsical pajamas, Riley has incorporated Eloise’s fun-loving spirit into every piece.

“There’s quite a lot of pink!” Riley tells PEOPLE over afternoon tea at the Plaza Hotel in N.Y.C. “And I love the prints because they’re very creative. I love the idea of taking something inanimate and making it something that can be worn.”
