Tesco promises more diverse girls’ clothes after letter from 8-year-old shopper

 

Shopping for clothes for little girls isn't always easy.

With girls' sections in many stores awash with frills, florals and the colour pink, parents of tomboys often struggle to find things that their title ones will agree to wear. Now Tesco has pledged to offer a wider selection of clothes for girls after hearing from a young customer who was unhappy with what was on offer. An eight-year-old girl named Betsy was shopping for a raincoat with her mum Fiona in a Tesco store in the UK recently but couldn't see anything she liked. She wrote the retailer a letter and even submitted some of her own designs as suggestions. “Dear Tesco, I was quite sad when I went into your shop because…most of the rain coats were either pink or had puppies or kittens or flowers,” her letter read. “…Some girls might like that but some girls like me might not. “Here are some you could maybe use. I created them myself.” Mum Fiona tweeted the letter and in fairness, a representative for Tesco promised to look into creating a better range of coats for girls.

Hi there, that is a really great point that you daughter has made! I would like to pass this request on to the relevant team :). Personally I love Harry Potter myself :). 1/2

I really hope that in the near future we will have a much wider range of rain coat's available for girls! Thank you for making me aware of this and I hope that you both have a lovely evening :). Thanks- Lauren 2/2 https://t.co/py5Z991Bme
