Behind the Seams
At Little Hotdog Watson we take a holistic approach to designing our kids hats. Considered design with creativity at its heart. We’ve been sharing this journey from day one taking our customers behind the seams of how we create, research and do things differently.
We produce intelligent kidswear with smart design. Kidswear that allows children to express themselves, explore outdoors, and claim the world as their own.
Design Practise
We are hat specialists. We don’t make lots of different products. We make hats and we do it well. We always start with a question - how can we make it better.
Next we research new fabrics, technologies and processes before beginning with owner Emma’s pencil doodles and fabric draping. From traditional methods to digital ideation everything is thoughtfully considered.
Original Design
Our bold prints are exclusively designed by us, for us. Each design is unique and will not be found elsewhere. This takes time but we believe it’s one of the ways we change the current narrative surrounding gender stereotypes in children’s clothing. No pink for girls and blue for boys here, cool prints for cool kids. More recently we’ve been using our platform to encourage and support new creatives with our House of Hotdog initiative.
In the Details
Our hats do more than sit pretty. Each element of the hat from the lining, the thread, the sticker that holds the barcode is planned. Details count, the exact number of stitches, the perfect tension on the sewing machine, the weight of a lining all adds up to a more comfortable product that lasts longer. These details become more evident when you see our products in action.
Performances
Une qualité supérieure, c’est bien plus qu’un tissu formidable. Nos chapeaux sont durables car nous ne faisons aucun compromis sur nos techniques de fabrication.
Nous effectuons un contrôle visuel de chaque étape et chaque élément. Nous procédons à des tests de performances et à des essais utilisateurs rigoureux. Nous prenons notre temps avec chaque produit. Nous envoyons nos chapeaux à de vraies familles pour qu’ils soient également mis à l'épreuve. Ceci démontre que nos chapeaux savent résister à une utilisation par des familles.
L’usine
L’usine de chapeaux de Beijing est petite mais très efficace. Elle investit depuis 25 ans dans la formation et les équipements, et elle est devenue la meilleure de sa catégorie.
Notre tissu est confectionné à Shanghai en utilisant 75 % d'énergie solaire et d’eau recyclée dans une filature ultramoderne.
Nous effectuons un contrôle rigoureux des conditions de travail et environnementales avant de travailler avec toute usine.
House of Hotdog
In 2020 we launched House of Hotdog an initiative to give young creatives a platform to encourage creativity in younger generations showcase their talent.
The ‘Design a Hat, Win a Hat’ competition has seen children worldwide get creative designing hats for winter and summer. In 2021 we added an adult arm to the challenge supporting new design talent, collaborating with graduate Harriet Morgan for her first commercial work.
Keep an eye out for our annual competition.
