Our Story

The idea of TotsShop was born in early 2024. I was working from home one day, building an online clothing store for a client when my 5-year-old saw my laptop and asked what I was doing. I explained that I was creating a shop online where people could buy clothes. Inquisitive as always, he watched me working, asking questions about how it worked and after a short while, asked if he could design some clothes too. I showed him how it worked and let him chose everything from the designs, to the colours, to the names of the products. Over the next few weeks he kept asking to make more and more designs and started asking if anyone had bought any of his clothes yet. Never wanting to be left out, my 2-year-old also took an interest, sitting on my lap, telling me what she wanted to design and watching me do it for her (often telling me I was doing it wrong).

 

Before long, we had a good collection of designs from both kids. I told them I was going to make a shop so people could buy them online. I asked what they wanted it to be called and my eldest came up with the name "TotsShop" - and just like that, this fun little activity for them became so much more.

 

Our Mission

At TotsShop, we believe in nurturing creativity and entrepreneurial spirit from an early age. Our mission is to empower kids by turning their imaginative designs into unique, high-quality clothing. As a business created by kids, for kids, all profits go directly to the children of our owners, providing them with an opportunity to learn, grow, and manage a business of their own. We aim to inspire confidence, self-expression, and a sense of ownership in every young mind involved.
