Le Petit Dressing (CLOSED)

Halfway between a second-hand shop and a concept store, Le Petit Dressing draws the two together into a winning hybrid emporium aimed at little ones. The shop comes out with a new range for babies and kids every season, while the evergreen designers – Jacadi, Chouchou, Mandchou and of course Petit Bateau – are always represented.

Those who like to mix and match different colours will be at home here, where the usual blue for boys / pink for girls divide is ditched in favour of a more creative approach to design. You can find good quality socks from as little as €0.50, and bodysuits for less than a fiver. Tops are between €9 and €20 and trousers between €3 and €12, while the dresses and shirts, which have a distinct 'Little House on the Prairie' vibe (or maybe it's a Brooklyn hipster vibe, we're not exactly sure), hover around the €30 mark. The shop also sells vintage furniture adapted for children, in a partnership with AbracadaBroc. Plus points for the smiling manager, who cheerfully obliges all her customers with personalised advice.
