About Us

These delightful items are designed by Annette Higbee. Anna Bouche is the trade name used by Annette; she has designed children's clothes since 1975.

In 1986 she was selected by H.L. Rockinghorse of Boston to design their own label of children's apparel. This incredible experience led her to use classic designs, the best fabrics and European sizing (larger and truer to age than most).

Many of these items have traditional flavors, country flairs, and tinges of Victorian and Continental styling.  These designs, sizes, fabrics and construction techniques have passed the test of use by thousands of children over the years.

Annette had formal training at Brigham Young University. She and her husband and children presently live in North Logan Utah.
