A little lesson

We recently asked our Facebook fans to tell us what they thought the difference between Peaches 'n Cream and Molly & Millie was. We got some very good answers, but here is a little bit more information to help you understand our brands!

Peaches 'n Cream is our oldest and original brand, and is turning 65 in March of 2011! The Peaches 'n Cream brand has been in the same family for all of those years--- under a couple of different corporations. Back when the Peaches 'n Cream trademark was owned by May Apparel, John May formed his own corporation with partners in Mexico, who could do the manufacturing. Together they started a line called "Kidz Cloz", which was the beginnings of what we now call Molly & Millie / Wally & Willie today. The look of the line as well as the name changed over the next few years, but always with the intent of designing and manufacturing a toddler/preschool playwear collection with bright knits and with appliques for interest. We own all of these brands, they are all manufactured at the same facility, and all of the fabrics for Molly & Millie and Mallory May are manufactured in the US, keeping our quality high at a great price!
