Early life and family

Biography
[edit]Désirée von Hohenlohe founded Les Petites Abeilles in 2013, and aimed to reintroduce more traditional designs in childrenswear. In April 2014, Prince George of Cambridge wore a smocked sailboat romper from Les Petites Abeilles during a royal visit to Australia and New Zealand. This created an instant buzz that Désirée von Hohenlohe and her husband were not prepared for, as they had no sales distribution and only a Facebook page to communicate. In March 2017, Les Petites Abeilles partnered with Yoox to launch a line of childrenswear.[4][5]
