A few weeks ago I had the pleasure of hosting a trunk show for The Beaufort Bonnet Company. Today I want to share with my readers about this wonderful company. Plus, they are extending a special trunk offer to DoSayGive followers.
Despite the celebrity-driven trend toward skinny jeans and graphic tees for children, The Beaufort Bonnet Company started in 2009 with the belief that some mothers craved a more traditional and refined style for their children. The company is headquartered in Kentucky but their signature “Beaufort” bonnet is actually based on a centuries-old pattern from the the town of Beaufort, South Carolina.
Before The Beaufort Bonnet Company, deeply-rooted Southern mothers could find traditional bonnets at various women’s exchanges scattered among the South. But the founder of The Beaufort Bonnet Company sensed that this style would appeal to so many more. And they were right! Today their clothes and bonnets can be found in over 200 stores nationwide as well as online.
The Beaufort Bonnet Company dresses boys and girls from newborn up to a size 4T. Here are some of their popular classics for children:
The Bucket Hat is what Southern boys wear to the beach and pool! This comes in several adorable patterns!
How cute are these Beach Bum Covers ($25 + $10 monogram)? Shown with a Beaufort Bucket hat in gingham ($44).
My friends with boys went gaga over these color block pastel Coral Bay swim trunks.
Can we say “throwback” to the 80s? Love!
I fell in love with this Talbot Side Tie in Pink Windowpane ($56) and am ordering it for my two year old.
I had so much fun bringing their trunk show to Dallas and seeing their clothes up close. How cute would these sunsuits be on boy/girl siblings or twins this summer?
This was my first time ever hosting a trunk show; hanging the clothes on the widows was something I’ve seen friends do for trunk shows. The light shining in made them all the more precious!
One really popular item at the trunk show was this giant Isabel Beach Bag ($200).
How many times do you buy a beach or pool bag and then realize you can’t fit everything in it? So annoying! I tested it this one out and it can hold five beach towels plus toys! I also love that this bag is fully waterproof if you get in lined (extra $15) and comes in many color combinations. (If you need any ideas, I’ll be happy to give you some!).
And if you are needing a baby gift, TBBC has wonderful heirloom gifts. For example, moms love these bow swaddles for photos:
The Beaufort Bonnet Company is so nice to let me extend the trunk show FREE SHIPPING offer to my blog readers. So if you spend over $200 on their website, use code TRUNKFREESHIP to get Free Shipping.
If you do you order something, please tell them DoSayGive sent you. You can write DoSayGive in the “Notes” section of the ordering page. (And, yes, I will get credit as I would in a normal trunk show, so thank you!)
You will get your bonnets in time for Easter when you order in February.
Also, if you want a list of stores where TBBC is carried, you can find it here. Layette here is Dallas (that I wrote about a few weeks ago) carries this precious line!
Now for the GIVEAWAY! The Beaufort Bonnet Company is giving one DoSayGive reader a Bellefaire Bonnet in Yellow Dixie Dot with seersucker liner and ties in a size medium (size 9-24m) which is valued at $68.00!

Shared! We ordered our very first bonnet recently for our daughter Millie and can’t wait to put it on her! I love that TBBC makes timeless, beautiful clothes! My daughter is almost 7 months old, I want her to look feminine and sweet for as long as she’ll let me dress her! Some clothes are made to look so grown up and I’m not ready for that! Thankful for a line that will allow us to do so!
Thank you!

Shared! I dress my children in classic clothing because trends come and go, so I prefer my babies to wear timeless styles that will still look beautiful when we look back on photos years from now.

For me I look at photos of my son in classic clothes and it melts me. There is just something about a boy in Jon Jon’s or my tiny one in her bow swaddle. I’ll look back and remember these precious moments in time and I can almost smell that sweet baby smell.
I know the feeling! Thank you so much!
Thanks for introducing me to Beaufort Bonnet! I’m so glad to now know about this company – I have always preferred timeless fashion and always knew I would dress my daughter in classic styles. I want to preserve her innocence and childhood as long as possible, and what she wears helps to do that. Plus, it’s fun!

Shared! I love classic children’s clothing because it is timeless. I hope that my daughter can one day pass down some of her clothes to HER children- they become family treasures!
She will! I still have my clothes from when I was little. All timeless!
Shared and Liked! I love dressing my daughter in classic children’s clothing because they are beautiful. Trends come and go, and while I love a few of them, the outfits that take my breathe away are always the classics. I love smocked, applique and even the occasional mall brand, but classic clothing patterns will never change. My mother saved some of my handmade dresses she smocked and sewed from the early 80’s and they are as timeless today as they were back then.
You said it beautifully! I have many of my old dresses, too! My grandmother handsmocked them all and I treasure them! Thanks so much…
Liked and shared! I love the classic beauty if TBBC, and cannot wait for my daughter to wear her bonnets!
Yay! Thanks so much!
Liked and Shared. I treasure dressing my children in the classic heirloom styles that my mother dressed me in, as fast as these babes grow up these days, why rush it with mini grown up styles. We’ll hold on to the sweet clothes as long as possible 🙂
Thanks so much!!
Love your site and TBBC!
Thank you so much!
Shared it! I believe bitties should be dressed like sweet ones, not little old men or tacky tweens. My sons and daughter all have pastel colored closets! Day gowns and white, white, white!
Your comment made me laugh! My mother and grandmother brought me up the same way!
So excited about this giveaway! I love classic clothing because it is something that my childrens kids and their children would be able wear and pass down! Flawless and timeless!

So excited about this giveaway! I love classic clothing because it’s something my children’s children can wear and pass down to their kids! Two words… Timeless and flawless!
So true! Thank you for entering!
Liked and shared. I love traditional childrens clothes. The styles are timeless!
Thanks so much!
My children have worn pieces of clothing that belonged to their dad or aunt. I love looking at them on my children and seeing a heritage. As I buy clothes, sometimes I like to think of unwrapping them again in more than twenty years and seeing my grandchildren wear them. I think it will be precious to have those clothes remind me of these sweet days with my babies.
That is so great! Thank you so much for sharing that and thanks or entering!
Shared!!! Classic clothing ans accessories are the best!!!!!!!!!
Thanks!!
Liked & shared! I think children should be dressed like children. They have their whole lives to wear jeans and tees, but only a few short years to wear smocked dresses and bonnets :).
Thank you!
I am just now seeing this site, as I was looking for bonnets! I am sure that the Beaufort Bonnet Giveaway is over! I love the Classic clothes as the children only have a few limited years to wear this precious clothing!
Yes it’s over but maybe I’ll do another one for fall bonnets! If you order one tell them you saw on DoSayGive! Thanks for commenting!
