Kidly joins Next’s online platform to propel growth

By Nagasunder in UK Business News, posted October 29, 2022

Kidly, an online retailer for children, has added its name to the list of brands selling on the Next ecommerce platform.

James Hart, a former Asos ecommerce director, founded Kidly in 2015.

The retailer will make its first foray into selling outside of its own channels by offering a curated edit of its own label collection on the Next platform.

Best-selling lines from Kidly Label's autumn/winter 2022 collection, including daywear, sleepwear, footwear, and outerwear, will make up the initial collection.

Kidly will benefit from the partnership's increased brand recognition, increased sales, and access to new international markets.

Hart said: “This partnership represents an exciting next step in the growth of Kidly Label. This is the first time our products are available outside the Kidly ecosystem and we are thrilled to be partnering with one of the UK’s best-loved retailers.
