Fling open your closet and bet you’ll find some assured basics: the jean shirt, the perfect black pant, the softest flattering t-shirt, and the list goes on...

Well, for babies the very same holds true. Every baby wardrobe needs its workhorses. Enter Petit Bateau, where a classic is made a classic for good reason.

This century-old French designer/manufacturer broke ground in its day and continues to refine and define ease of movement and comfort in baby wear without sacrificing elegance or assured quality. Petit Bateau manufactures its own cotton jersey, as well as, their exclusive seasonal colour dyes. Everything is produced ‘in house’ adding-up to cloths that do not shrink, pill, or lose their softness with wear.

Beyond an organic line, their mission is to provide basics that continue to look and feel good as they are passed down to siblings. Known for their vintage sailor stripes, also on offer are plenty of cute seasonal blooms and graphic prints to highlight your little one’s beaming face.

Gifting Petit Bateau is a sure bet, that is why we love including their products in our luxury baby gift baskets. Know what else is a sure choice? Matching one classy item with another. Build your own basket (BYOB) by adding a picture book like Brown Bear, Brown Bear what do you see? by Bill Martin, Jr. or Guess How Much I Love You by Sam McBratney.
