Then and Now: The Heart Behind Lolly & Laddie’s Growth

It’s hard to believe how much has changed since Lolly & Laddie first began. When we opened our doors, we were a small dream fueled by a big love for cozy pajamas and meaningful designs, and a whole lot of late nights, learning curves, and coffee. ☕

What started as a handful of prints and a small circle of customers has grown into something far beyond what we could’ve imagined. In just a short time, we’ve seen this community expand into thousands of families across the country, each one becoming a part of our story.

Our Growth & Milestones

Since opening, we’ve gone from small batch orders to full scale preorders, with each collection more exciting (and more organized!) than the last. We’ve moved through manufacturers, learned what works and what doesn’t, and fine tuned every detail, from fabric quality and sizing consistency to packaging and shipping speed.

We’ve also grown beyond our website, expanding into Painted Tree locations where customers can see and feel our products in person. What started as one booth has turned into several across multiple states, something we once only dreamed about.

Behind every change has been a clear goal: to make Lolly & Laddie better for you. Whether it’s improving turnaround times, offering new styles like adult joggers, sleep bags, and twirl dresses, or adding detailed size charts and preorder updates, each step has been about building trust and delivering something we’re proud of.

The Heart Behind It All

Even with all the growth, our heart remains the same. Lolly & Laddie was built on love for family, comfort, creativity, and connection. We’ve always wanted to create more than just pajamas; we wanted to create pieces that tell stories, spark joy, and become part of your family’s memories.

This community has reminded us that small businesses can still grow with kindness. You’ve celebrated with us, encouraged us through challenges, and helped us become what we are today.

Looking Ahead

As we continue to grow, we’re focusing on balance, keeping the heart and authenticity of a small business while expanding in ways that make sense. That means partnering with trusted manufacturers, exploring new collections, and finding more ways to give back — something that’s always been at the core of what we do.

There’s still so much more we want to create and share. And if the past months have shown us anything, it’s that with this community by our side, there’s no limit to how far Lolly & Laddie can go.

Thank you for being part of this journey, whether you’ve been here from the very first preorder or just placed your first order this week. Every like, comment, purchase, and kind word has played a part in helping us grow, and we’ll never stop being grateful for that.

Here’s to all we’ve learned, all we’ve built, and everything that’s still to come. 💕

With love,
Lolly & Laddie Boutique
