Rompers, baby bloomers, tank top, simple dresses, kurtas, pajamas and shirts in pinks, oranges, blues and greens- their designs are a nice fusion of Indian and Western which makes them wearable at home in Bangalore or back in Europe during the summer holidays!

THE ALMIRAH  

We’re lucky to have a small branch of this Delhi brand started by a mom and daughter duo in the Cinnamon complex. We especially adore their cotton nightwear for kids up to 12 years old. We love that the prints that aren’t overly bright or loud (think animals in soft blues, pinks, mints and yellows). You’ll also find more contemporary short Kurtas with “that little Indian edge” as well as beautifully embroidered long tops. The Almirah also produces hand quilted and embroidered bedding and accessories.

GOOD EARTH 

Everyone’s favorite store also has a baby and kids line combining eco-friendly fabrics with modern Indian aesthetics. With a beautifully muted color palette, you won’t see any obnoxious loud colors or prints instead opting for downplayed greens, maroons, oranges and grey shades. Their collection includes linen short sets, cotton and silk Kurtas, smart little pajama sets and dresses. The prices may make you do a double take, but the clothes are beautifully made. At their Bangalore location, you’ll find their kids’ section tucked away upstairs on the same floor as Nicobar in a separate small room. Here you can also pick up bedding items such as muslin baby pillows, quilts and bolsters, towel sets, as well as their ever popular indoor tents.

NICOBAR

Another fave brand of ours, Nicobar has recently released a small kids collection! The Little Nico Collection features a few easy buttoned shirts, kurta tops, dresses, pajama bottoms and basic pants. As with everything from this lifestyle design studio, the designs are distinctly cool – red and pink stripes, red polka dots on a white base and plain colors. Small fun details can be found stitched on the clothes. They may seem simple but they make a big impact. Shop the collection at select Nicobar stores around India (Delhi and Mumbai) or order online!

With whimsical style and collection names such as, “How long does the scent of lavender last?” and “freshly laundered sheets” sizes fit ages 6 months to 6 years old. We really want ALL of the beautiful white handspun woven cotton pieces such as the maxi dresses, mandarin collared tops, kurtas and roll-up sleeve tees.

The style of the clothes leans towards understated, simplistic elegance and fresh pastel palettes.

ONLINE STORES


 

MILK TEETH 

At first glance, looking at the Milk Teeth website makes you think that would need to factor in a lot of shipping and import taxes onto those prices- this must be an international brand, right? Wrong! This Bangalore-based kidswear brand wanted to create international designs and styles made in India for the Indian market. And we couldn’t be happier. We are obsessed with their deliberately small themed collections (currently Doodle Clan, Geometry and Marine Friends) for kids ages 2-7. Gorgeous jumpsuits, pom-pomed sweaters, stiff tutus, smart shirts, and cool unisex brooches – we adore everything! Shop until you drop online here

FAYON KIDS 

Fayon carries made to order lehengas for girls from 1-month-old to 15 years and these are not the normal ethnic wear you can find on Commercial Street, these are the lehengas we want to wear ourselves! Beautifully made with ornamented details and embroidery adorning each piece, each lehenga is very special. This is the perfect outfit for a formal Indian occasion and will make for a beautiful memory of your child’s time in India. For boys, we like the slight modern touch on their Kurtas with Churidars. Order online at least 7-10 days before you need it!

This Bangalorean brand started by two French expats primarily serves the French market but have recently begun doing private sales in Bangalore.

ESSIKA  

We adore Essika for their clean lines and simple styles without too many embellishments. Founder Merlin realized that children’s fashion needed more options without hot pink, glitter and cartoon characters and we couldn’t agree more! Essika’s design aesthetic is inspired by Japanese fashion using hand-woven and natural dyed yarn Indian fabrics. Their Khadi Lollipop Shirts paired with their handloom cotton shorts are our must-haves both for casual wear on the playground as well as a nice dinner out with family. The Toddler ranges from 6 months to 3 years and the girls and boys up to 9 years old. Order online here
