| QUESTION: |
Where can I find nice French kids' clothes in the city? de Christie K. - 26/10/02 - Baie de San Francisco
Hi,
Can you tell me where I can find nice French kids' clothes in the city or online? Also, what are the best brands in France? I don't want to buy lower quality brands just because I'm told they're french. Thanks.

I. The most famous and quality French brands for clothing are:
Good value:

- Tout Compte fait
- Vert baudet
- Bout d' Chou ( distributed in Monoprix stores in France, great deals!)
Mid range:
-----------
- Petit bateau
- Cyrillus ( sells online and via catalog abroad too!)
- Absorba
High end:
---------
- Catimini
- Chipie
- Jacadi
- Sergent Major
( Not to mention Baby Dior...)
These are just a few, there are so many...
II. Where to buy nice (new) kids' clothes in the city. I wish I knew where to buy
nice USED French kids' clothes, too, to ease up on the wallet once in a while but haven';t found
that yet in the area... It's more a matter of luck at the nicer second-hand stores.
In the North East area of the city
----------------------------------
There are a few nice kids' clothes store:
- Jean et Marie: 100 Clement at Second. Nice selection of French clothing. No shoes there yet.
They also have a playroom where
you can leave the kids between ages 1 and 4 for a small fee.
# (415) 379-1111.
- Maison de Belles Choses: 3263 Sacramento st.
This ecclectic store held by a fan of all things French has beautiful French clothes, especially the
traditional ' robes a smoks' and a host of other French items for adults and for the home.
- Tuffy's Hopscoth: on Sacramento, 3307. Pretty big selection of French brands, in clothes and
shoes. # 415-440-7599.
- On the nice strip of Fillmore St, at # 2416, there is a store called Yountville with a nice selection of French clothes as well.
# 415-922-5050.
On the Embarcadero:
-------------------
- Inside one of the Embarcadero 2 shopping mall, there is a cute little store called:Kidiniki.
On Union Street:
----------------
- Mudpie: 1694 Union st, has nice French clothing.
Those are the main ones in the city.
- Of course if those don't meet your needs, you also have the online stores of some French brands and stores
in the US like: ww.frenchkids.com, and www.oliebollen.com which carries lovely ( slightly expensive)
Italian brands too.
- And the Cyrillus brand is very well equipped to sell abroad, from its French base, having been in the mail-order business for years:
--> www.cyrillus.fr.

You can try Mudpie on Union st., they carry very nice french clothing, they are pretty pricey but I haven't seen any afordable french clothes here yet!
The main french brand that you can trust is Petit Bateau (of course). I really like also Berlingot for their colors and originality. And Jacady, that you can find here is also a great name but much more classical.
As far as ordering online, you should try dupareilaumeme.fr, this is one of the french most popular brand at afordable prices.

There is also a Jacadi store on 1215 Burlingame Ave. in Burlingame.
Very chic!

| Where can I find nice French kid's clothes online? de Donna V. - 15/10/04 |

You can find some wonderful French brands at www.monpetitenfant.com. They carry mostly berlingot, marese, alphabet, sucre d'orge, and some other brands. Not a huge selection, but what they have is well-edited. If you become a member they'll send you discount coupons.
