How it all began

Hello, I’m Maia — mum to three energetic little boys under five.

As a busy mum, I struggled to find children’s clothing that was both stylish and practical. I wanted pieces that looked good, felt comfortable, and kept up with their everyday adventures from crawling, climbing, running, snuggling, and everything in between - while still being easy for parents to manage. I kept coming back to terry-towelling: a fabric that is soft, breathable and wonderfully versatile. For me, there's also a sense of nostalgia with towelling that instantly brings back the simple days of childhood.

I wanted reliable staples that we could reach for everyday, whether we were heading out for a playdate or winding down after a busy day. A clothing collection that suited our lifestyle: playful, active, and a little bit messy.

That’s how Tots in Towelling was born -inspired by real parenthood, the nostalgia of simpler times and the unstoppable energy of small children.

We’re proud to bring you premium towelling clothing, carefully crafted in Portugal and made to endure childhood’s daily adventures.

I hope you love our first collection, there’s so much more to come!

Lots of love,

Maia Buttleman
