Heirlooms in the Making with Little English

“It’s beautiful to take a step back and let the child stay the central character.”

In this episode, I sit down with Dunn Latham, President and Designer of Little English, the children’s fashion and lifestyle brand founded by her mother, Shannon, in 2004. What began as a collection of traditional hand-smocked layette has grown into an upscale, full-service apparel and accessories line, carried by Bergdorf Goodman, Neiman Marcus, Nordstrom, and Maisonette.

Dunn shares how she carries forward the family legacy, honoring not only the heirloom-quality garments the brand creates but also the ethos and spirit of Little English itself — a company that has been lovingly passed down and continues to shape the traditions of childhood, celebration, and thoughtful living. From crafting “forever quality” clothing meant to be treasured and passed down, to inspiring milestone moments like baby showers and first birthdays, this conversation blends nostalgia, style, and intentional living.
