Estella's designer children's clothing collection is different from those of other baby boutiques because we work very hard to find children's clothing designed by artisans who are less interested in mass production and more so in making stylish and beautiful baby clothing that is also practical. Most of our designers are European mothers who were working for large fashion houses like Jean Paul Gaultier & Dries Van Notten, but left their positions to design for their own kids and their collection. They had kids and found that there was little on the children's clothing market that is stylish and practical. Thus, the basic tenet in their designs and our designer kids' clothes collection is to make stylish and practical clothes for children. We try for example to avoid baby dresses that can only be dry cleaned. Knowing that newborn babies can soil their dresses within minutes, we try to limit our newborn baby clothes collection to baby apparel that is machine washable
