Maisonette bets on tweens with launch of neon rebels

As children transition into their pre-teen years, parents face a challenge finding age-appropriate clothing. Brands that once catered to tweens, like Delia's and Limited Too, disappeared with the rise of e-commerce. Now, online marketplace Maisonette is addressing this gap with Neon Rebels, a new destination for the 7-14 age group. Neon Rebels features over 100 brands spanning apparel, accessories, beauty, and lifestyle products. The platform aims to bridge the divide between what tweens want to wear and what parents deem suitable. This demographic's spending power is significant, with the global children's apparel market valued at $225 billion. Millennial parents, whose own children are now entering their tween years, are a key target audience. Stores like Walmart and Target are also recognizing the tween market's potential. Neon Rebels offers a curated selection, including brands like Pleat and Roller Rabbit, reflecting tweens' evolving identities. The initiative acknowledges that tweens desire to feel older without being prematurely sexualized. Maisonette's marketplace model allows for flexibility and adaptation to fast-changing tween trends. This approach offers parents more suitable options for their daughters' changing wardrobes.
