Thought of by many as the first major fashion outlet for tiny
tots, Mothercare stores opened in 1961 to great public interest.
Although not from the babies themselves, who continued to gurgle
and soil themselves as normal.
Mothercare became popular with, erm, mothers for pioneering easily
laundered fabrics and bringing a bit of style to kids clothes at
reasonable prices.
Mothercare UK now supplies goods through their stores and mail order
to customers from 130 countries.
