A lot has been written already about the subtle art of dressing like a French woman. Why is that that French style and French fashion are so popular? I am not 100% sure and I believe there are many reasons for it but, being French myself, I have to say I do quite like the ohs and ahs that usually come with me answering “Paris” when people ask me where I am from. The subject of French children style however seems to have been significantly less broached than this of their mother when I do feel there definitely is a French children clothing style. Looking at adding a little touch of that je-ne-sais-quoi to your children’s wardrobe? I’ve rounded up French fashion brands for kids you can shop here in Hong Kong and online shops delivering those French fashion brands to the 852.
