Ride in style into spring

by on March 2nd 2017 Tags: , , , ,


Spring is already noticeable in the air and thus it is high time to get all mobiles for the park and co out of the basement.

But what a shock …. we must have drunk “growth water” all winter long since the former bike of our daughter is massively too small – we therefore need a new one – NOW.

Finding children’s bicycles that are functional but not uber-ugly seems almost impossible. After a long research I found an absolutely great and very nice new bike for Miss P.  – a hip Beach Cruiser by Electra

 


Our choice became the Beach-Cruiser Heartchya , which is available as a 1-speed version as well as with Shimano 3-speed transmission. Adorable in sugar white with colorful hearts. And you can pimp it to perfection with baskets and save-blinkers.

For boys there are cooler versions with the models “Tiger Shark” and “Straight” – also with balloon tires and casual, backwards offset seat.

Even if I like to support local shops buying a bike, there was no shop near to us carrying these great bikes, but on Amazon you can find here all available models for boys and girls.

Time to say “Goodbye” to the kids-and-couture onlineshop

by on February 14th 2017 Tags: , , , ,


Dear customers, dear friends and family

After 5 amazing, incredibly exciting and top-fashionable years full of bright kid’s eyes and fashion joy, it is time for us to go new ways. 5 years ago, we started our fashion blog with enthusiasm and a great concept and quickly realized that the logical addition to this was our very own online shop.

For nights we developed an exclusive and unique shop concept, applied to high-ranking designer labels for their sales license – with success. Quickly we grew to one of the leading onlineshops for designer children’s fashion and gained worldwide fame. Each free second was invested in “our baby” kids-and-couture making us incredibly proud – on the other hand, we were somehow dissatisfied. With the growing success “of our baby” there was hardly ever time for our own family and children. Sure, every success story also brings its victims with it, however, we came to a point last year, where we had to say:

until here and not further.

You can not be 150% businesswoman and at the same time mom. You can not be on the road at international fashion fairs and attend the Kindergarten Summer Festival in parallel. In the evening, you can either read good-night stories or add new products to the shop. Your day has just 24 hours – as much as you try it.

We therefore decided to end our online shop at this point, to go a different ways in the future, and to re-focus on our blog at www.kidsandcouture.com.

Many thanks to all of you, dear customers, dear friends and most importantly dear family, that you have made this exciting trip with us, believed in us and supported us all the years!

And so we say goodbye with tears in our eyes, but also with relief in our heart

 Greta & Eva

Ein aufregendes und wie immer turbulentes Jahr neigt sich dem Ende zu. Eine gute Zeit, die vergangenen Monate und Eindrücke des Jahres Revue passieren zu lassen und sich darauf zu besinnen, was für uns wichtig und schön ist oder was wir in Zukunft verbessern möchten.

Same procedure as every year….. the tanning comparison and competition has begun ….. “Haven’t you just been on vacation?” a friend recently asked me when I just came back from a few days in the warm south. “Yes, I was” …. ‘but why in the world are you this pale “….
