Pardon My French!

I've been a bit biased lately by posting a lot of American brands (probably made in China!) and realized that there's so much baby stuff from Europe that needs some recognition here! The baby clothes from Paris, being the fashion capital of the world, are very good in quality and more fashionable (duh!). While Obama is making his rounds in Europe, will go ahead and do the same.

La Redoute is a lifestyle/catalogue brand that is similar to Marks and Spencer, except they don't have a shop. They sell women's apparel lingerie but their baby clothing is not bad too. Check the denim dress plus leggings. Me likey!

Kaloo is more known for their doudous and baby cologne but they have some pretty good clothing too. I had the opportunity to meet the owner and his family at their shop opening at Prince's Building, Central. It's cute that this brand was inspired by the birth of their son, Lucas. And he's good looking boy too!

Petit Bateau (My Little Boat) is one of my faves. Their color palette and dainty prints are just delicious. I am thinking of getting my daughter's birthday clothes from there. What about this cute cherry dress? Looks great with their denim jumper.


Caramel looks so sweet and yummy! Don't you just love this lil outfit? Caramel Baby and Child is actually from London but the shoes is by Maloles, a shoe brand from Spain but sold in Paris. But 85 euros? Wow! That's expensive. Cheaper than Baby Gucci but still... I am loving the orange ballerinas though, they match my daughter's birthday dress. Sigh!


Saw this brand, Le Petites Choses, through their banner ad on Milk magazine (French children's fashion magazine). My hubby is sleeping and cannot wake him up for a translation so am afraid I cannot tell you more about their clothing. All I know is their stuff are definitely cute!



Checked out Smallable, another e-boutique for children and just went gaga over the brands they are selling.

Luco


Louis & Louise


And, of course I cannot miss out Baby Chloe and Baby Dior, every Mom's fantasy!

Believe me there are tons more but I can't look any further. I am having separation anxiety with my credit card. After seeing all of these clothes, I think I am convinced we should move to Europe. Please watch out for Pardon my French (for Boys) and a review of Dutch, Italian and English baby brands soon... Au revoir et salut for now!

  1. Looooove French brands too! Though Maloles is from Spain, it's also nice nevertheless. I even use Petit Bateau myself. Their shirts are the best basics and the fit is perfect. Of course you know I love Repetto as well. Hehe. Is Kaloo the one with the cute soft "teddy bear" type dolls? I really like those. Naku I'm scared na if I have kids, I'll go nuts with all the clothes and accessories!

  2. Thanks for correcting, Maloles is from Spain, you are right! I was salivating when I saw them... I am sure you would want those too if you have a baby girl. Yes, that's Kaloo. Their stuff are sooo soft!
