The Best Children’s Clothing Stores in Paris


 | 

The birth of my first child last year has brought many things into my life:  happiness, sleepless nights, and an addiction to children’s clothes!  I’ve gone from window shopping the haute-couture stores along Avenue Montaigne to staring longingly at a €180 woolen coat that I’m sure my precious offspring needs for survival during the bitterly cold winter months (ok, so I’m still trying to convince myself that the price was justified!)  Although I didn’t get the coat, it did prompt me to ask my friends what the best fashion boutiques for children were.  Here are their suggestions!

 

Finger in the Nose

Located in 3rd Arrondissement in the trendy Marais district, Finger in the Nose is definitely one of the coolest kids clothing brands in Paris (and possibly the world!)  They stock an unbelievable range of jeans in dozens of different fits, colors, washes and treatments. They’re also known for their funky graphic tees, high-quality knitwear and down jackets, a must-have in any child’s winter wardrobe.  Jeans are priced around €75-80 and the down jackets can range from €130-190 depending on style and size.

Sonia Rykiel Enfant

Nathalie Rykiel, the daughter of French fashion designer Sonia Rykiel, launched the label’s first line for girls in 1983 while pregnant with her own daughter.  Nearly 20 years later, they’re still creating incredibly stylish clothes that are loved by young fashionistas worldwide.  Be aware though, style does not come cheap with simple dresses often costing over €150!

This Parisian clothing house is well-known for combining chic and glamorous children’s fashion with beautiful fabrics and quality workmanship.  Popular among celebrities including Brad Pitt, who took his children to the Bonpoint store on one of their visits to Paris.  Their flagship store measures over 1,000 square meters and it’s worth a visit just to admire the beautiful building and décor.  I’d also recommend having a look at their adorable website, there’s something about it that just makes me feel happy!

From Madelyn:
I loved shopping at Tartine et Chocolat, Dior, Jacadi for our children when they were little. When they outgrew them, I saved the nicest outfits for their own children one day!  Since they outgrew them quickly, I always waited until the sales started in January and July and shopped then.  In between, I found fashion and value at the many childrens’ stores on the famous rue de Commerce.  They included the big Monoprix at the corner of Blvd Grenelle and rue de Commerce, Cyrillus, DPAM or Du Pareil au Meme and Petit Bateau.  If you’re staying in one of our Paris Perfect apartments such as the Vougeout or Picardin , it’s a short walk across the park to get there!

    Thanks, Madelyn!
    I had forgotten that my Granddaughter, Claire, was a baby model for Tartine et Chocolate until I read this posting. Hoping to bring Claire to Paris with me in 2013 for her 12th Birthday-and now we can go to that store while we are there!
    Of course, we will stay once again in one of your lovely apartments on rue St Dominique.
    Kind Regards,
