Meaning ‘little boat’ in French, the over-a-century-old European label has made its first inroads in the South- East Asian market by securing prime retail space in Tanglin Mall. Already a global name with 180 boutiques internationally, the charming shop is surrounded by floors of educational toys, organic food, pricey footwear and clothing for kids at this family-centric mall. Petit Bateau has kept its prices reasonable, yet not shirked quality – 12 kilometres of cotton thread are used for just one T-shirt, which has the smoothest feel and is sure to keep your little one cool. Catering to kids, from babies all the way up to 12-year-olds, as well as stocking loungewear for adults, Petit Bateau’s unisex styles in fun colours easily complement an existing wardrobe, and are very practical for the humid climate in Singapore. Besides breathable cotton, silk knits and bamboo jersey are also used to clothe mummy’s rack.
Other outlets at Paragon, United Square, VivoCity and two more.
