Bonpoint

It seems there are branches in New York as well as worldwide, so I might be telling Babygadget readers something they already know, but all of a sudden, every glossy magazine or Sunday supplement I open has some celebrity mother gushing about French kids' clothing company Bonpoint. Only a couple of weeks ago, a major British newspaper asked various notables the pressing question, 'What do you dress your children in?', and the name came up time and again.

I thought I'd better check them out, and, sure enough, it's just as you'd expect: rather lovely clothes with a decidedly French appeal (and very short skirts. I'm sure the French design their girls' skirts shorter...). Prices aren't shown on the site, but given the clientèle as profiled in those magazines, I'm assuming they are not exactly cheap.
