I love poking around European kids shops because the sensibility is just a little…different than ours. Think fewer fire trucks appliqués, and more apples on stilts doing ballet while wearing French poodle masks. Or something like that.

Zazou is a fabulous Netherlands-based shop featuring creative duds for the under-four set, from independent designers that we are swooning over.

Now let’s just pretend for a minute that the US dollar was actually worth something these days. My shortlist would include the knitted hoodie dress from Kidscase, raglan tees from Petit Louis, and pretty much everything from the Dutch Design Bakery. And as long as we’re playing the money is no object game, you have to check out the Buddybug winter hats (pictured) which comes with 10 different animal pictures that you can insert into the slot in front, making it a new hat every day.

The flat rate shipping to NA makes it worth your while to buy a few items while you’re shopping Zazou. While you’re at it, send me a few, will you?. –Liz
