Our story
Charlie Crow began on the principle that there’s no limit to a child’s imagination! It all started with parents of children who loved to dress up. The company opened their first fancy dress shop in 1984, became a Limited Company in 1994, and never looked back!
Charlie Crow has been family-owned and operated ever since. At Charlie Crow, we design, manufacture and distribute costumes for children worldwide and continue to offer innovative, sustainable designs that leave space for a child’s creativity.
We proudly announce that since 2024, Charlie Crow outfits have been made from recycled polyester derived from plastic waste. Our costumes are all recyclable.
We have reduced our use of plastic and packaging to a bare minimum, and all packaging is recycled and recyclable.
We are committed to making safe, durable and practical outfits that ensure children can play and be anything they want to be. We believe pretend play, where children become someone or something else, is a natural way to stimulate social development through cooperation and taking turns. We aim to provide costumes that allow children to act out stories and learn through play.
