10 children's clothing brands designed for real life

L'enfantin 

We absolutely fell in love with this French brand that had the genius — let's say it — to embroider your child's drawing(s) onto garments of excellent quality. Yes, from the little stick figure with big arms to the tiny scribble, you can now keep these masterpieces for life rather than tucking them away in a drawer. Even better: you can even display these works of art in the open and proudly boast about your offspring's artistic flair. So, how can you resist? It's also an excellent idea for Mother's Day, Father's Day, birthdays…

We love: the 100% cotton of the range, the Made in France certification, the wide choice of products. 

Boden

Boden is an iconic brand, founded in the 1990s in England by Johnnie Boden. It reflects the British spirit: colorful, sparkling, original, and chic — but its greatest strength is above all its durability. Boden is a committed brand that you adopt for its ethics as much as for its style. For little ones, the summer wardrobe is vibrant: floral rompers, cheerful prints, stylish marinières. 

We love: the UV-protective swimsuits, so practical for the beach, and the bath capes to avoid getting chilly when coming out of the water.

Tinycottons

The world of Tinycottons wins over the whole family, as its creator designed it to "please grandparents for its quality, parents for its style, and children for its comfort," as cited in MilK magazine. Founded in Spain by a former Adidas designer, this brand champions the qualities of pima cotton — soft, durable, and ultra eco-friendly. 

We love: the colors and the patterns, whether poetic, playful, or incredibly chic. Ideal for the beach as well as for a special occasion. 

Piupiuchick 

This time, it's a Portuguese brand hiding behind Piupiuchick. As its melodic name suggests, the philosophy of this children's label is rooted in creativity, joy, and a sense of humor. Each garment is designed and made in Portugal with a genuine ecological and environmentally friendly approach. Piupiuchick uses organic cotton, every fabric offcut is reused, and the production chain is — truly — on a human scale. 

We love: their summer collection with very vibrant colors, both simple and practical, especially for the little ones. Since the brand is located close to the ocean, it boasts a wide range of swimsuits and beach outfits so adorable that it's hard to resist. 

Donsje

We completely change styles with Donsje, a high-end brand based in Amsterdam. Here, the looks are much more classic, the cuts and colors are more understated, but Donsje's twist is more subtle. Indeed, their trademark is an absolutely adorable little bestiary that adorns their products. There have been crabs, little bears, and there will always be beautiful animals on Donsje's clothing and accessories. The little shoes and baby booties, for example, are true works of art! Here, everything is crafted with care, as the brand is committed to an ultra fair-trade approach. 

We love: the transparency and durability, the care given to all the fabrics used. Ideal for baby's summer as it is very breathable!

Cozmo

The world of Cozmo is absolutely perfect for everyday life: colorful, practical, comfortable, and fuss-free. The clothing designed from birth through to adolescence is conceived near Barcelona in a family atmosphere, and it shows. There are timeless, never-out-of-style classics, pastel tones, and cuts perfectly suited to every age. 

We love: their commitment, the timeless and reusable quality passed from generation to generation, just like the company itself. 

Organic Zoo 

The dreamy wardrobe created by Paulina from Organic Zoo inspired us to collaborate, so it's only natural that this English brand finds its way onto this list. We never tire of this range of organic cotton clothing with the most romantic prints.

We love: the print we chose for our limited collection, simply titled "Olive Garden." 

Very French Gangster 

Summer means sunglasses! And we all know how incredibly important they are, whether you're a tiny baby or a little older. Their eyes, so fragile, are very much in need of proper eyewear. Luckily, Very French Gangster has a beautiful collection for children and teenagers. Of course, VFG is also a committed, responsible brand and offers a range that is 100% made in France. 

We love: the choice of frame colors, as well as shapes and tones… Little ones can look "just like the grown-ups"! 

Studio Noos

An essential beach bag, or rather an all-purpose tote… The Studio Noos range offers a wide choice of belt bags, graaaat stroller bags, and other ultra-practical pouches that are absolutely essential when traveling as a family. We particularly love the "Mom Bags" because for once they are elegant while remaining practical, lightweight too, and they can hold as many things as Mary Poppins' bag. The Mom Bag can be attached to a stroller but also worn over the shoulder or as a crossbody. Bonus: they are also customizable. 

We particularly love the soft winter range, but for summer, many choices are available to you.

TajineBanane

Last but not least, TajineBanane is a brand that has made its mark in the world of parenthood thanks to its ultra-stylish collections for nursing (or non-nursing) moms! Created by Alison Cavaillé in 2019, we are proud to have also collaborated with this French brand that shares the same values as Charlie Crane: durability, poetry, aesthetics. Together, we designed a leopard print in the spirit of TajineBanane's ultra-fun collections. 

We love: the commitment, the inclusivity, and the caring community Alison has built over the past few years.
