'Nippers' is a children's clothing company based in Edinburgh, Scotland. Its owner Karen Mackay started the company in 1987, coinciding with the birth of her first child, which was when she realised that there was a gap in the market for designer childrenswear at non designer prices.

Initially Karen produced a few designs using fabric found in local shops,working from home on a borrowed machine. These designs sold to friends and then via local craft fairs.

Although she no longer has to borrow a sewing machine the original ethos still stands - to design, manufacture and supply designer childrenswear at affordable prices.

Fabric is sourced worldwide with special care and attention being paid to durability and design.

Nippers has its own retail outlet in Edinburgh where you can browse through their selection of childrenswear with collections from;

Bob & Blossom, Oh Baby London, No Added Sugar, Green Baby, Bonnie Baby, Starchild, Earth Friendly Baby Toiletries and of course 'Nippers' own label.

You can now also find 'Nippers' childrenswear in
