Character.com

The idea for this online retailer, which sells clothes featuring exclusive, licensed designs from TV, films and video games — including Peppa Pig, Harry Potter and Star Wars — came about when Karen was selling her children’s outgrown clothes on eBay. She noticed that the ones with popular characters on them always sold best, sparking the idea for her business.
