The Fox in a Box brand is aimed at girls and boys aged 2 – 11 years and incorporates funky, colourful fabric in classic shapes.

‘Fox In A Box’ is new children’s nightwear brand created by Nigel Payne and Harriet Kemp of Jeptex Ltd. Nigel Payne is the owner of Jeptex, a UK Nightwear Manufacturer based in Derby, established over 50 years ago. Harriet Kemp is the Head of Design. Our nightwear is made of 100 % woven cotton with sparkly buttons and generous frills. Garments are produced in-house in the Derby factory by an experienced team of seamstresses and cutters.

The beginning

After searching for 100% cotton children’s nightwear online for her daughter, Harriet realised there were limited options available, especially in woven cotton. The available prints were neither cool nor inspiring. A gap in the market was identified and a plan was hatched.

After sourcing funky prints in soft cotton, Harriet went to work recreating traditional nightdress styles with a generous cut for added comfort. The name Fox in a Box was inspired by a long-lost fox teddy, found eventually in Harriet’s loft, hidden in a large wooden ottoman.
