Caramel is a modern success story founded by Eva Karayiannis. Launched in London 1999, it set out to push the boundaries and embrace a more creative approach to childrenswear.

At Caramel, each item is designed with passion and the utmost attention of detail: the garment silhouette, the cut, the fit, just the right sort of lining or even buttons are all highly considered. Quality is never compromised and we constantly strive for excellence. Our clothes are timeless and become much loved, worn-in wardrobe staples that are handed down and shared between family and friends.
