Great Pretenders is a Canadian company made of a small but talented group of people including designers, cutters, and sewers who all share a passion for toys, female entrepreneurship, and providing children with a happy childhood. It was founded by Joyce Keelan who had a vision of a brand delivering innovative, high-value lifestyle toys.
While Great Pretenders makes costumes for children, it is more than a costume brand as its mission is to empower and inspire children to embrace their individuality, explore their creativity, and unleash their imagination.
Today, Great Pretenders ships products to concept stores, boutiques, gift shops, and toy stores across the globe from the company’s hometown of Sarnia, Ontario.
