I prefer the name Trenz to Qute as I think boys would not like to go to a shop called Qute. My daughter likes Funkytown.

From speaking to parents yesterday there appears to be a shortage of clothes for children once they get past about 8. School clothes for the seconday age are impossible to get. Parents seem to want basic and affordable clothes (jeans, tops, etc).

The girls (9) that I was speaking to were wanting skirts and dresses, and make up, jewellery. So the stock that you will be getting seems to fit well.

Cheers

I think we should step back in time, teach kids some values and make them wear what is provided for them by their parents. This global infatuation with brands and celebrity has got so out of control. School uniform is a great way of cutting down on bullying by reducing the chance of a kid being ridiculed because they dont have the latest 'LABEL'.

Great idea, why don't you sell clothes that are made in Kintyre. General has made a very important point re, child exploitation in sweatshops.

No I don't have teenage kids, but the damage is already done by the teenage years.
Maria Von Trapp had the right idea. Get the old curtains, turn them into play clothes and get the kids away from the telly and have them running around Bengullion with a song in their hearts. Ah, to be young again. :wink:

Don't really know, however if a shop started with that intention, then you could start a cottage industry.
