DESIGNER SPOTLIGHT :: TrΓ¨s Γ©lΓ©gant! French Children’s Clothing from Le Carrousel

I was very excited when Marie-Laure Renier of Le Carrousel emailed me this week with a preview of her Fall/Winter children’s collection. She designs each of the classically French garments to give the impression that “the glamour and perfume of Paris raise from each piece”, and I think she achieves that very well. TrΓ¨s Γ©lΓ©gant!Β 

Oh, and don’t miss this charming little video. The music is beautiful — Aveline started dancing around the living room when I played it.

The handmade collection, which includes clothing for boys, girls, and babies as well as accessories, will be available in the Le Carrousel shop soon. Thank you so much for sharing, Ml. Renier! Now I want those stripey socks and shoes in my size. ;)

Which is your favorite piece in this collection?

HANDMADE :: Ch-ch-changes.

Owl Hats as seen on Oaxacaborn dot comI’ve decided to change things up a bit when it comes to the products in my shop. The (exciting!) vision I have for the new look was reaffirmed by this discussion last Friday. So, I’ll be slowly listing the rest of what’s now the old style at discounted prices until they’re gone. (I’m not phasing out the owls…no way! But youΒ willΒ see a shift toward lighter, more monochromatic color choices.)

(WHOA. The “older style” hat in the photo above? It soldΒ while I was typing this.Β I’m constantly humbled by the overwhelming support you all show my little endeavors!)
