Who are we?

Here at Great Pretenders, we are a small but dynamic group of people (and an occasional dog or two!) We have designers with a love of children, fantasy and fabric. Talented cutters and sewers who bring designs to life. Reliable shippers who keep it all-straight and make sure the right products get to the right places. Plus, an amazing administrative group who dot the 'i's and cross the 't's. Our team shares a passion for children, toys & female entrepreneurship.

More than just a costume brand, we are on a mission to inspire & empower children to explore their creativity, embrace their individuality, and unleash their imagination.

Our Commitments:

Childhood - We at Great Pretenders believe that Dress-Up is so much more than just putting on a costume. Through pretend play kids develop their imagination and creative thinking skills. Pretending develops communication skills and an outlet for expressing feelings and fears. We keep in mind the difficulties disabled children may face when finding dress up and strive to design products for all children.

Quality - All of our products are easy to care for and often get passed down to younger siblings because of our quality! With maximum sizing flexibility and simple machine washing instructions, it's easy to get the best value for your pretend play costumes.

Safety - As a manufacturer of children's products, we take safety very seriously. We test our products to global standards for heavy metals, use and abuse & all other regulatory requirements for Canada, North America, Europe and beyond! In addition, please rest assured: our costumes are safety tested for flammability, so your dragon can breathe as much fire as they want!

Sustainability - Great Pretenders is dedicated to preserving the planet through environmentally responsible business. We are dedicated to preserving the planet by seeking greener ways to conduct our day-to-day business, and are also very open to ideas for how to improve.
