Retro and vintage clothes for grown ups are available almost anywhere now. Janet, how did you get the idea of selling Rockabilly clothes?
I sold rock’n’roll/biker fashion and accessories on events and festivals for 5 years. In 2010 I found out that it was hard to find exclusive and friendly rock’n’roll/biker/hotrod shirts voor small childeren. If they were available, most of the time they were a small copy of the grown up t-shirt prints with titles like Hell and Death. That’s how I got the idea to start a kidsfriendly Rock and Roll brand. Friendly ‘Bikes , Cars and Music’ prints on friendly comfortable clothes.
Rockabillykids : A rock and roll inspired brand especially for kids.
Our love for bikes and the rock and roll lifestyle gave me a lot of ideas for nice prints. I added the ideas of my husband Clinton. For the complete rockabilly feeling we worked with a well known Dutch designer : Ger peters (specialized in Kustom Kulture Art). He converterd our ideas in great prints.
(His kids wear the t-shirts too now).

The clothes for kids had to be friendly and comfortable and so for the production of it we worked with small Dutch confection studios and they use as much as possible biocotton.
We wanted to make sure the clothes are being made FOR children and not BY children, so we have them made in The Netherlands. We are proud to say that the whole production of Rockabillykids is 100 % made in The Netherlands.
The collection is made in small baby sizes untill size 164. Mainly tops like T-shirts, longsleeves and workshirts. We are aiming at the European market for now. That is why we had the official launch of RockabillyKids®collectie at the stylish fashion event: ‘London edge’ in februari in Londen. You can read about it:

We had a lot of great reactions on that event and ever since, a couple of shops have contacted us to get our collection in their shops. In the meantime our clothes are available in shops in Denmark and Germany, and also in The Netherlands you can buy them in the online shop
