About Us

Little Darlings childrenswear of which SULK is one of the brands was started by Paula Finnerty and Julian Carter in 1987. Paula is now recognised as being ”one of the most influential of UK designers”. Aged just 18 she won the Prince of Wales award for design, and from this the business quickly flourished.

At 19 Paula was commissioned to create outfits for the British royals William and Harry and later, an assignment to design a new wardrobe for the Crown Prince of Thailand’s daughter led her to her being flown to the Royal Palace in Thailand.

Many personalities including Jamie and Jools Oliver, Carol Smiley and Lawrence Llewelyn-Bowen choose our products for their kids.

SULK is now a leading tweenage brand giving parents and their children the choice of stylish beautiful clothes which kids like to wear and parents approve of. The success of SULK is undoubtedly attributable to it’s uncompromising dedication to creative design, quality production and customer service.

Julian Carter is managing director of Little Darlings and has directed the commercial development of the business since 87 to it’s strong financial position today.
