About Us

Hi my name is Nell!

22 years ago I became a parent to a beautiful baby girl. Back in those days children’s clothes were pretty boring. There were only the basics, nothing exciting. As a woman interested in fashion, I wanted groovy clothes for my child and there was NOTHING on the market. I was working in a fabric store at the time, and I was seeing these wonderful fabrics and imagining all the wonderful things I could create.

So I started making new outfits for Zoe every week, I was having a ball. Ladies were going crazy and saying how cool everything was, so I started selling them in the fabric store. As fast as I made them they flew out the door, so 5 years later I decided to go into business. I found my little shop on Colombo St and I have been sewing up a storm for the past 15 years. It has been a dream come true and I’m loving it more than ever. Seeing all the wee ones in their outfits gives me such a thrill and I'm so happy that it’s been a great success.

At Little Miss and Little Mister we produce top quality New Zealand made garments for newborns to 6 year olds. And 15 years on, I am still creating new styles, new fabrics and new twists extending my range. I think keeping styles simple and easy-to-wear is crucial because it suits our busy kids best. So I plan to keep groovy gear coming season after season and I look forward to dressing your wee ones for the next 10 years !

We are also excited to receieve photos of your kids in our garments so please either bring them in to us or send them either by post or email. We are proud of our collection of photos in store and now have a page on our website for them.
