A cozy faux fur collar and epaulets ensure that this topper is a mix of all her favorite things!

Lined in a gorgeous rainbow butterfly print designed especially for us by artist and illustrator Matthew Langille, your little girl will feel like they just stepped out of their favorite dream this holiday.

Little Goodall has been creating beautifully crafted children’s clothing to inspire creativity and play since 2010 when artist and designer Molly Goodall† found herself† frustrated by her then two year old son who refused to wear the hoods on his coats. Searching for a creative solution, she designed and made the original Ferocious Felt Lion coat to inspire him to put his hood up in the cold.†
