The next time you're in Greenwich, CT, you might want to head down to a shop on Greenwich Ave. called Petit Patapon. I visited the beautiful city of Greenwich last year and found this store to be so charming and beautiful, both inside and out. The clothing was stunning and the people were so friendly. They're a baby clothing company out of Portugal that was started by a mom who loves baby fashion. Noelle Tutenuit had trouble finding the kinds of clothing that she wanted for her children, so she decided to start sewing. And sew she did!
Petit Patapon recently sent me a whole bundle of baby clothing, including the cutest snowsuit on the planet (pictured above). It's the same bundle of clothing Mariska Hargitay (who you might see at the store in Greenwich) recently got for her son August. Petit Patapon is quite popular with celebrities like the Beckhams, Heidi Klum, Courteney Cox, Sarah Jessica Parker, Julia Roberts, Brooke Sheilds, Debra Messing, and Claudia Schiffer. And yes, these celebrities REALLY own and wear the clothing. I scanned some pictures and thank-you notes in the next post.
Currently Petit Patapon has two stores in the US; Greenwich, CT, and Wellesley, MA, a very successful web site, www.petitpatapon.com and over 100 stores internationally, most in Italy. Petit Patapon also wholesales to over 80 multi-brand boutiques through the US. They have been in Barney's New York for five years, and Nordstoms West Coast more recently.
