About us
mama owned, made with love in hove
The business was born in 2020 by London College of Fashion alum, Britt. She embroiders each cardigan by hand in her home studio by the sea which she shares with her partner, daughter Rui and sausage dog Alan.
The Little Worne Store has grown to be a must-have in the baby fashion space. Hand embroidered pieces are treasured forever in the form of hand knits, Christmas stockings and blankets.
Frequently Asked Questions
Ordering
I offer a few hand embroidered options;
1- hand knits; these are my own stock that are usually one of kind and uploaded every 1st Thursday of the month @ 8pm. They are hand knitted in the UK and a preview goes up of stock by Wednesday evening. Links and dates will be on Instagram. These items tend to sell out quite quickly.
2- send in service; this is a knit you send to me that I then embroider and send back. If sold out new slots are uploaded every 1st Thursday of the month @ 8pm. Perfect if you already have a knit or if you want matching knits for siblings etc. This service doesn't sell out quite as quickly as the hand knits.
3- mini send in service; this is for non knitted items you want emrboidered with smaller name embroidery. Perfect for the front of any garment. We love it on collars, front of knits, sweatshirts, t-shirts, hats, wool jackets and scarfs | No age or size limit but please only soft clothing. This service tends to always be in stock.
4- collaborations; we do lots of reocurring collabs with amazing female businesses like Hunter + Rose, Rosie Sugden cashmere and Isla and Fraser - to keep upto date please follow on instagram or sign up to the mailing list on the home page. These tend to sell out on the night but have plenty of stock so if you're on time you should get the knit you want no problem.
5- seasonal knits; we always have new products for the upcoming season like initialed bunny, santa, pumpkin, strawberry and christmas pudding hats. Again, best to keep upto date with new releases via the newsletter or instagram
Firstly, sorry there's nothing left in the store, knits don't tend to hang around long but I restock items the first Thursday of every month at 8pm (UK TIME.) Check instagram for restock updates the next date will be in the bio. I also do collaborations and pre-orders so make sure you're signed upto the mailing list for annoucments!
You can only order through the website when I restock - most hand knits are one of a kind and listed as it's own product on the store. you choose the knit you like and add your name in the personalisation box along with embroidery colour etc. From there I hand embroider and post to you!
The site does not save baskets! If you like something I really recommend buying it quickly. If it sells out sadly it just was a popular item and someone piped you to the post but never fear there will always be new items in a month!
Collaboration projects tend to sell out slower than hand knits so if you're having no luck I recommend being on time to one of those restocks and I'm sure you'll manage to nab a dreamy piece!
