Beautiful, European-style shoes at Munchkin et Moi
Shoes -- we cannot live without them so we might as well embrace them! Here in continental Europe we have some very specific styles of shoes for children. I swear you can often recognise a European child by the kind of shoes he/she is wearing! We like brogues, buckled shoes and shoes that get passed ...

La Botte Gardiane

Saltwater sandals
Growing up in Seattle, we spent every summer on the salty, rocky beaches of the Puget Sound... running around in our Saltwater sandals!
