Cute as a {French} Button

I might not be completely impartial {blame my French origins}, 

but when looking for the best children wear
the label will most probably be in French.

French clothes for kids are classic, elegant, cute, 

 and reflect childhood's innocence
{certainly not for dressing up mini adult replicas}.

JACADI

The brand: founded in 1976, Jacadi creates
high quality children wear & footwear
with a distinct chic parisien.

The tag: that French chic is reflected on the price tag,
but it's worth the price is you're looking
for kids' wardrobe staples & occasion wear.

Best buys: girl's summer dresses
(with gorgeous Liberty motifs)
& boy's formal outfits & shoes
(they stock beautiful, quality shoes).

CYRILLUS

The brand: created in 1977 by a mother
who couldn't find children's clothes to her taste,
Cyrillus is all about simple & classic design.

The tag: affordable & good value.

Best buys: adorable kids' formal wear
and cute home accessories
to decorate little one's bedroom.

PETIT BATEAU

The brand: the legendary French label, founded in 1893,
revolutionised the clothing world
by creating the first panties in 1918.

The tag: a bit steep, but worth it
for its excellent quality and classic designs.

Best buys: obviously the 100% soft cotton underwear,
their Breton striped marinières 

and the beautiful raincoats & parkas.
