WIFE with Kids: Dior Baby

Dior Baby Boutique Paris

Dior Baby has set up quarters in the incredibly elegant eighth arrondissement of Paris, not far from the Jardin des Tuileries and the Place de la Madeleine.  THE WIFE™ along with her children will feel right at home with the discrete charm that evokes that of a family house; shop among old fireplaces, plate-covered walls and rooms that have the ambiance of child’s nursery.

Underneath a ceiling painted by the artist Matthias Kiss, ambient colors of the latest collections leap out – dresses in bright hues, dark suits, softly-colored shoes. Kids can day-dream next to wall illusions of looking out a window onto the rose garden of the house at Granville where Christian Dior grew up. Walk up the grand staircase to shop evening wear and the most exceptional pieces. It might be a new Dior address, but here the world is totally that of 30 Avenue Montaigne – although on a child’s scale. Click “continue reading” to shop Baby Dior or Dior.com for more information.  -Taryn Cox for THE WIFE

This marks only the second time the Petit h concept shop has popped up in the U.S. since it was launched in 2010. For a limited time, SoCal wives can purchase one-of-a-kind pieces of jewelry, accessories, toys and even pieces of furniture crafted from the French atelier’s cast-off scraps of leather, silk scarves, porcelain, enamel and hardware, showcased in a pop-up within the brand’s South Coast Plaza boutique.
