About Fox In A Box

‘Fox In A Box’ is new children’s nightwear brand created by Nigel Payne and Harriet Kemp of Jeptex Ltd. Nigel Payne is the owner of Jeptex , a UK Nightwear Manufacturer based in Derby, established over 50 years ago. Harriet Kemp is Head of Design. The Fox in a Box brand is aimed at girls and boys aged 2 – 11 years and incorporates funky, colourful fabric in classic shapes. Our nightwear is made of 100 % woven cotton with sparkly buttons and generous frills. Garments are produced in house in the Derby factory by an experienced team of seamstresses and cutters. The beginning After searching for 100% cotton children’s nightwear online for her daughter, Harriet realised there was limited options available, especially in woven cotton. The available prints were neither cool nor inspiring. A gap in the market was identified and a plan was hatched. After sourcing funky prints in soft cottons Harriet went to work recreating traditional nightdress styles with a generous cut for added comfort. The name Fox in a Box was inspired by a long lost fox teddy, found eventually in Harriet’s loft, hidden in a large wooden ottoman. How Mr Fox came to be there, no one knows? Read their story
