Petit Bateau

Petit Bateau Review

Petit Bateau provides a fundamental part of the classic French wardrobe from cradle to teen and beyond. The signature T-shirt—cut close to the body, with smallish shoulders—works equally well with school uniforms or vintage Chanel. High-grade cotton clothes follow designs that haven't changed in decades (think onesies and pajamas for newborns, underwear sets, and dresses with tiny straps for summer); however, lines in cotton-silk or cotton-cashmere and popular partnerships with designers like Carven and Tsumori Chisato mean there's now even more in store. Stock up: if you can find this brand back home, the prices are sure to be higher.
