Girls clothes with transport/wild animal patterns

Hello,
Maybe Mumsnet can help me out! I feel like ages ago I came across a website selling girls clothes (as in traditionally girl cuts, so dresses, tunics etc not just unisex leggings and t-shirts) with car, truck, tractor patterns and also the kinds of animals that otherwise tend to feature more on boys clothes (don't even get me started on this whole thing with boys clothes featuring predator animals and girls clothes prey!!)
Now I can't find it anymore! Has anyone come across something like this please? A shop selling specifically dresses but with a wider range of patterns than you normally find?
Thank you MN

Lindex are good for this - they just have a childrenswear section with a mixture of girls and boys wearing different patterns and styles.

I think Frugi is the brand you are thinking of here. The gender stereotyping of children's clothing drives me bonkers too!

Some other brands that are pretty good at avoiding the 'cars are for boys, unicorns are for girls' trope are: Piccalilli, Kite, Duns, Maxomorra and Toby Tiger. They are all a little on the expensive side but the second hand market is great and you can pick up some bargains!

Interested in this thread?

I bought my girls grey jumpers with cars on the front. They were in the boys section at NEXT but I liked them. (They did not 😂)

Sorry should learn to read posts.

Oh no, that's too bad! 😅Maybe a good thing mine are too small to complain still!

Thank you everyone! It definitely wasn't Frugi or one of the other bigger brands like Lindex, Kite etc- more like a smaller niche website specifically set up with the purpose of supplying more emancipatory clothes for girls.

John Lewis I think just does kids clothes and so have dresses in the same print at t shirts etc.

Thank you! I saw there's also a transport theme as well as the dinosaur theme 😀

Thank you! What an awesome list!
The page I remember was specified aimed at girls I think, making dresses with tractor patterns etc rather than a full range of all non-stereotyped clothing. But I'm sure I'll find plenty among these options now- thank you Smile
