Description
After having their children Ros Badger, a knitwear designer, and Elaine Scott, a businesswoman, quickly realized that there was a demand for well-made, stylish children's knitwear. Ros had worked for many years with leading fashion companies, designing and producing hand knits for, among others, Betty Jackson and U2. Elaine ran a knitwear company in the 1980s and has worked as an accounts manager for other design companies. As Little Badger they launched their first mail order catalogue in Spring 1996. With Little Badger, these two talented women have combined their experience to create a unique style. Their influences range from contemporary fashion trends to 1940s and 1950s knitting patterns and from the outset they have used only the best quality natural materials in their designs. Ros's knitwear make great play of updated traditional knitting techniques combined with a modern colour palette.
