Pumpkin Patch

I've been a mum for nearly 6 years now, and I've been shopping at Pumpkin Patch for almost all of that time - it didn't take me long to find out that shopping for children's clothes can be harder than you think. If you have girls everything can be a minefield of pale pink and little else, boys clothes can be quite samey and for both sexes I often find ranges in many stores rather too grown up for my liking. I don't want to spend a fortune on my kids' clothes but I do like them to have a few nice things for best - I think I am probably still scarred from a childhood in the 70's - the clothes weren't the best in that time, but mum, goodness some of your choices were ...  Read the complete review

I first came across Pumpkin Patch while on a shopping trip in Leeds. I popped in for a quick look, since babywear shops seem few & far between. I was really tempted to buy a few items, but since my 20 week scan was a few weeks away (and I planned on finding out whether baby was a he or a she), I forced myself to leave empty handed & vowed to return again. Shortly after, a branch of Pumpkin Patch opened in my hometown. I have since seen many branches of the store (on my further afield shopping trips) aswell as concessions within larger department stores. I can only assume that the company (from Australia) is now taking off in a pretty big way ...  Read the complete review

Pumpkin Patch shops are few and far between in my experience, but luckily we have one fairly nearby. I love a lot of the clothes but the shop itself it not great. Clothes are too crammed in, so that often you can only see the end of them on a rail rather than being face-on with the cutsomer, so often you feel as though you are digging around looking at items which is not usual in a baby clothes shop. There seems to be too much crammed into too small a space. Also, if there is a sale on it is never clear where the sale stops and the new lines begin which again just adds to the overcrowded feel of the store. I love Pumpkin Patch clothes. They are more pricey ...  Read the complete review

Our local Pumpkin Patch is actually a concession within the much larger Jenners store, so I don't imagine it provides the full range of items they stock, but rather a selection. They cater mostly for babies and younger children, but do cater for up to 13 years I believe. Their clothes are of wonderful quality, and are always slightly different, and stand out a little. They use good qulity material, and lovely designs. I find their little girls clothes are particularly gorgeous, with the most beautiful little party dresses! As our store is within Jenners, if is obviously expected to be quite expensive, but I suppose the old saying - you ...  Read the complete review

My Mother-In-Law took me into Pumpkin Patch when I was pregnant and ended up spending a fortune on baby clothes! Pumpkin Patch do a wide range of both baby clothes and older girls and boys clothes which are all very reasonably priced. They also often have sales on where you can pick up the clothes very cheaply. Pumpkin Patch also do a small selection of maternity wear but I seem to remember this being very limited and quite expensive. The clothes in Pumpkin Patch are of excellent quality and, because there are not any of their shops in our immediate area (our nearest store being around 50 miles away) my little boy is able to wear ...  Read the complete review
