Oxfordshire-based children’s clothing brand Little Ensemble is celebrating national recognition after being named a finalist in three prestigious business award programmes.
Founded by Toni Delli-Compagni, Little Ensemble is a sustainable, gender-neutral childrenswear brand known for its handmade capsule wardrobe pieces. The brand is now proudly shortlisted for:
– Ladies First Awards – Startup of the Year (Awards night: 5th June)
– UK StartUp Awards – Fashion & Beauty (South East Region) (Regional final: 24th June)
– Women’s Business Club Awards – Business Mum of the Year (Awards night: 3rd December)
Each of these nominations recognises Toni’s commitment to ethical production, community values, and making high-quality children’s clothing in the UK using locally sourced materials.
“I started Little Ensemble with one sewing machine and a baby napping beside me. To now be recognised across three national platforms is surreal — and a real vote of confidence in what small, independent brands can achieve,” said founder Toni Delli-Compagni.
Shoppers will be able to browse Little Ensemble in person at a series of pop-ups at
Dobbies Garden Centre, Belvedere Lane, Watling Street, Fenny Stratford, Milton Keynes MK17 9JH, on the following dates:
