Bailey Boys
St. Simons Island, Georgia
About Bailey Boys
Bailey Boys’ children’s clothing (available for newborns through children 12 years of age) is sure to charm you with their classic, but playful apparel. The company is particularly known for its traditionally styled special occasions collection. However, Bailey Boys’ signature item, the John John, which features extra button holes to accommodate growth spurts, inspired the creation of the brand though the style began as an invention of necessity for Diane Bailey, who struggled to find clothing that could keep up with her two sons. Diane had a passion for sewing and design ever since she was a child herself and began Bailey Boys in 1987 with only five sewing machines. Since then, Bailey Boys has expanded considerably and now operates a 22,000-square foot facility in Baxley, Georgia.
