Mob Meets Funk the Family founder - Lucy "Elle J" Small
Our SS17 collection is a heavy nod to the music that shaped us as kids in the 70's and 80's. We are firm believers in inspiring the kids with music and now the days are getting longer, summer is on the horizon and the kids are getting itchy feet, it's time to get planning for the music festival season! Brighton & Hove, where The bonnie mob call home, has always been a hub for the musical and artistic, we are always spoiled rotten when it comes to big name artists gracing our doorstep. And this goes for the family friendly options too..the kids definitely don't miss out on their share of well known artists, performers and authors coming down to inspire them. So this summer is no exception...
