Why We Don't Mind Being Small...

It is a busy, fast, competitive world full of big fish and little fish. Here at the Briar Patch, we do not mind being a happy little fish.

Our shop is in business its 10th year, surviving current recessionary challenges without compromising our business philosophy.

Even with our beginnings as a storefront retailer, we have maintained a retail presence longer than any other online specialty purveyor of flower girl dresses and boys suits.

The Briar Patch continues to select its own collections of flower girl dresses and boys suits personally. We also answer customer service inquiries personally through email and telephone. Our dresses are not stored in a warehouse on a busy industrial street. Each and every beautiful flower girl dress is handled personally, inspected personally, and then packaged for you by one of our own caring staff. We do not outsource customer service, the front of our building is a beautiful children's boutique, created out of a sincere love for quality craft, beauty, and of course, children. We do not rely on an outside order fulfillment contractor to handle your special order. We are careful to recycle all we can; we maintain our storefront building so that it is a joy to behold by school children across the street. We do it all ourselves because we believe in small business, simple pleasures, and small people (they are our best customers)!

After all, "it is nice to be important, but more important to be nice." (anonymous quote)
