NEW EVERYTHING !!!!!

We have had a change of name and will be known as Smile Affair from now on. We felt this suited us better and has a more positive meaning. We will, however, still have related clothing to our previous names and our existing designs will hopefully still be produced. I have updated the links across the right hand side of this page to the new pages and urls. Please add us on facebook, myspace, youtube and twitter. Apart from the change of the name, everything will continue as usual.

Thanks for all your continued support,

Keep smiling!
