I was in Antwerp a couple weeks ago with Esther. It was my first time to that beautiful city, and I LOVED it. Esther has always raved about the shopping in Antwerp (particularly the children’s shops), and she wasn’t exaggerating –Antwerp is home to the most amazing children’s boutiques and labels.
I think it’s the mix of Dutch, Belgian and French styles. In Antwerp, you can find the best of everything from those three countries. Heavenly. Honestly the place to go shopping for your kids.
While in Antwerp, I discovered the French brand, Petits Démons. Their collection of musical cushions, bed linens, and zig-zag decorations is beautiful. I love the bold colors and fun designs. What I loved most were the cute rattle cords (the photo on top), which you can hang on a cot or on a buggy.
You can’t find Petits Démons in the U.K., but you can order from French sites, Chahutbahut, or Carte Blanche. And if you happen to be in Antwerp, visit Kids on the Docks (and be prepared to go crazy with your credit card).

Those rattle cords (didn’t know they were called that way) are just adorable. They come in the cutest colour combinations!
And… I LOVE shopping in Antwerp – but not just for kids!! 🙂
Hi Esther,
I LOVE Antwerp! It’s my favourite city here in Belgium. I would LOVE to hear other places you like to shop for children as I’ve only done shopping for ME whilst there so far. That won’t be the case after this summer though. ;0)
Thanks for sharing your find Ladies!!
Dads, be glad that the Belgiums are masters of beer as well as children’s clothing. You’ll need a few glasses of a potent trappist brew after seeing the receipts for your kid’s new wardrobe.
