Rosie Fisher
In 1979, a young woman named Rosie Fisher had the vision to create a brand for children’s furniture and accessories, pairing quintessentially British design with the very finest standards of craftsmanship. Her ethos was driven by a belief that the ultimate gateway to luxury is dreaming creating pieces that stimulate the imagination of children and parents alike. The artisans behind her creations were affectionately known as “Dragons,” giving rise to the brand’s beloved name. British designs with high-quality standards and the fine art of craftsmanship. Her design ethos was fueled by the idea that the ultimate gateway to luxury is dreaming - creating designs that stimulate the imagination of children and parents alike. The artisans meticulously crafting Rosie’s creations were affectionately referred to as “Dragons,” inspiring the brand’s eponymous name. Since its inception, Dragons of Walton Street has been driven by its vision to inspire life’s most meaningful journey - childhood. Today, that same spirit of imagination continues to shape every piece, celebrating a timeless legacy of wonder and creation.
