My number one stop for children clothes, the BEST customer service and I believe you can tell alot about a company by their customer service. I had a very small issue which was not even an issue but dealt with so professionally. I will continue to shop with Trotters for many years to come and always recommend. 5 stars!
I visit Kensigton high Street very bad customer service the have trust issue I bought 3 shoes and toys and lollipops the whole I’m paying the ask me 4 times if I saw the second pair off the shoes and the lady she’s been after us all the time as I’m thieves I spend £125 but the team there very bad as the ask if I paid for one extra lollipop I told the staff I will never take anything whit out payment the should look in the person haw looks the don’t care about client or service everyone the treat the client in very bad and the don’t what the do
Have bought several items for my grand daughter from here online, especially the hair bows which are good quality and made to last.
Ordered her shoes too and mum was thrilled as was my little grand daughter.
Lovely range of colours great for special occasions and well made even offering a measuring service, for shoes. During the pandemic we ordered a shoe gauge which came promptly and was useful for ordering online.
Lovely packaging great service and quality products. Shall return.

Ordered the Annabella Bow Dress for my granddaughter. The dress is beautiful and It was delivered quickly. The material is really good. They even sent a complimentary sweet with it.
Have ordered more dresses now.
Waited 7 weeks for an order. Sent a few emails. Heard nothing back at all. Finally got a call today saying they apologise it’s still in their head office they haven’t sent it out yet!!! My friends baby is now too big for the order I had bought!!! Apparently they’re doing a refund...doesn’t really help me waiting 7 weeks, my friend not getting the present and now having to make another order somewhere more reliable. 2 hours of my life wasted!!!!!
Trotters is a scam! On November 24th 2020 I placed an order on Trotters online for holiday gifts for my son. When on December 4th I had still not received my order I contacted customer service who said the package was lost and took upwards of ten days and countless emails to finally offer to send me a new order, and nothing else, even though it would be too late for the holidays. I accepted this offer and 12 days later have still not received anything and have had no response from customer service. I took a chance on a new company who charged my credit card for my purchase and never sent any goods. My son did not receive his holiday gift and Trotters went silent. This company is clearly participating in some sort of large scale scam and are criminal. Do not purchase on Trotters, there are so many other reliable, luxury UK clothing based sites I have purchased from, Pepa and Co. and Childrensalon for example. Trotters will take your money and disappear!
Bought adult shoes. Great service and lovely items. Only reason they didn’t get 5 stars is that it’s a little tantalising and misleading to show certain styles and colours as available in grown up sizes and they’re NOT in the largest size. Took 2 emails for them to admit they weren’t ever available in certain colour ways and the size I needed (as by their own admission they come up small), although it appeared so online
