English Mail Order Catalogs with Boys Clothing: 1925


Figure 1.--These are some of the part suits offered by Rowe of Bond Stree, we believe in 1925. We know it was in a Rowe catalog. One source describes how important Rowe was, "The company for several decades set the standard for children's clothes." The page had a brief description of the various suits, but only two more illustrations.

We have so far found very little information on English 1925 ctalogs. We knlow that there were sevral publihed, but our English sources are not as good as our American sources and we think that there wrre more American catalogs as well as more pubications with adveryisements. So far all we have from 1925 is a book published by Rowe of Bond Street. The book itself is not dated, but we believe was published in 1925. This was a high-end London retailer and some of the fashions were only worn by well-to-do children. The book includes information on smocks and creepers, blouses and tops, party suits, school suits, and other items. In addition to the sales offering, the illustrations picture other items as well. We hope to eventually obtain information more main-stream retailers as well.
