BODEN X ROALD DAHL COLLECTION

If you’re not already addicted to Boden’s original, exquisitely made, quirkily detailed children’s clothes, 1) where have you been? and 2) you’re in for a treat. Their girls’ and boys’ clothes prove that ‘casual’ and ‘party’ are states of mind and it’s cool to be different. Their baby clothes are so soft, charming and practical they’ll make almost anyone broody (apologies). And their 365-day return policy speaks for itself. Make space in those wardrobes, people…

Boden’s newest capsule collection for girls and boys is inspired by six of Roald Dahl’s stories: The BFG, Matilda, Charlie and the Chocolate Factory, The Twits, James and the Giant Peach, and Fantastic Mr. Fox. And with such hearty source materials, the assortment on display is definitely not lacking in whimsicality and, most notably, range.

In the collection we see baseball shirts, T-shirts, skirts, shorts, blazers, day dresses, party dresses, overalls and so much more. But as commonplace as the silhouettes are, the prints, colours and appliqués are so unique to the far-flung adventures, supernatural scenarios and colourful cast of characters created by Dahl. His literary works stand the test of time, enchanting families of various backgrounds and ethnicities—sentiments that can be applied to this capsule line.

The collection is available in sizes 2 to 12 years old and is available here.
