Turn a little girl into a little princess with these very French clothes, writes Deirdre McQuillan
These cute clothes for little girls are from Catimini, a French childrenswear brand known for its colourful textures, eyecatching details and pretty patterns. Popular all over the world, it has a reputation for quality and durability as well as good design, and kids will love the soft velours, the pretty little bows and trims, the patchwork of colours and print, the cute buttons and other details that small eyes and fingers notice. Drawing on all sorts of ethnic influences, the current season is all about what they call a Russian-cum-Eastern-European look, with its layered skirts, floral prints, heavy embroideries and embellishments that all add up to turn a little girl into a lovely princess. The label is carried by BT Kids, at BT2 Grafton Street, Dublin 2, BT2 Blanchardstown Centre, Dublin 15, where you can also find the popular Bon Point and Guess ranges, and Brown Thomas Cork.
