Thank you to all our wonderful Isobella & Chloe supporters for voting us as the Best Dresswear brand in the 2014 Earnie Awards for the third year in a row! Here are pictures of the Curly Girls team accepting the award at the Awards Ceremony held at ENK NY on October 20. It was great celebrating with all the winners and nominees.

Earnshaw’s has a long, respected history in the children’s business with more than ninety-five years of editorial coverage and support for the children’ wear business. Thank you for continuing to invest in the Earnie Awards, an industry tradition that we look forward to every year!

This Earnie award is earned and shared by all of us. We appreciate the recognition and motivation the Earnie Awards provide for the Isobella & Chloe team to continue to grow, learn and enhance our business and consumer relationships. Our success is a reflection of the success of our retailers. Helping our retailers increase their sales is a serious responsibility for us and we look forward to a mutually-beneficial future together.

Several years ago, our family bought Best of Chums, known for its clever and whimsical knitted gift sets, booties, tees and hats. Although Best of Chums International remains our corporate banner, our vision for our girls’ apparel is now centered around dresses for both informal and special occasions and swimwear, both under the Isobella & Chloe brand name.

Many are curious about who Isobella & Chloe are to our business. Actually, we chose these girl’s names as a fictitious, yet symbolic namesakes the essence of our brand. At the time, I thought the names were just pretty names for our beautiful dress collection. But as the years have passed, I realize that our brand name reminds me of sisterhood, girlfriends, families and how all children grow up expressing their individual gifts, talents and most of all, unique personalities.

Isobella & Chloe universally connotes to me a girl’s diversity of interests, activities and most of all, families. To some, “Isobella” may sound sophisticated, fancy, polite, elegant and a bit mysterious. While “Chloe” reflects a mirror opposite defined by fun, sweetness, adventure and natural beauty. Whatever the interpretation, Isobella & Chloe the brand celebrates the unique personality of every young girl. Our dress collections reflect this diversity with a combination of everyday casual wear and beautiful dresses that become part of life’s most memorable days and nights.

Our active wear is designed for daily comfort, school day activities and casual indoor or outdoor adventures. While our fancier lines are crafted with unique finishing touches and fabrics perfect for special occasions, holidays, family gatherings, parties, afternoon teas and portraits.  We even celebrate sisters, with coordinating styles that both complement and contrast both the similarities and differences among siblings.

Isobella & Chloe.  Growing up through the years is a lot of what we have in common, while the path we take makes us who we are, standing apart from the crowd.

Isobella & Chloe.  Belief in the importance of family. Recognition of girls learning from and living life to the fullest.  Liking how they look and loving themselves everyday, anywhere . . . expressing and celebrating self esteem and their unique personalities.

Share with others about the sisters and daughters in your family and the many ways you are both the same, and different.
