About Little
Little was founded in 2015 by Angela and John Foddrill, owners of women’s clothing boutique Bliss since 2002. Honoring the magic of childhood, Little offers high-quality, beautifully made children’s ware that inspires joy.
When it comes to style—there is no fresher perspective than that of a child. To encourage individuality, Little offers premium children’s brands and clothing, toys, and furniture that are playful, timeless, and unique. Whether your young one gravitates towards soft stripes, field tents for indoor camp outs, or gold-flecked tutus, Little provides a curated, one-of-a-kind shopping experience for the whole family.
Little—make childhood magic.
Our Values
At Little, we believe that all children, regardless of race or gender or ability, deserve to experience the magic and wonder of childhood. We also believe that one of the greatest gifts we can give our children is an environmentally sound future. That’s why we hand-select ethical slow-fashion brands known for their premium quality, timelessness, and ability to be passed on.

We are so excited to announce the re-opening of in-person shopping at Little! Our new store at 38 Exchange Street in Portland, Maine is just two doors down from Little’s original location (now the home of our sister store, Bliss). The store has been beautifully designed and features high ceilings, skylights, a vintage fireplace, and–of course–all the brands you know and love, plus some new favorites! This new space is sure to give our customers more of the Little experience you have come to love, and we can’t wait to see you there!
