Vuitton shouldn’t be an entire stranger to the youngsters’s universe. Gaston-Louis Vuitton, the grandson of the home’s founder, launched its first toy department contained in the Avenue des Champs-Élysées store within the ’30s.

Italian entrepreneur Renzo Rosso, who manufactures kids’ lines for brands including Diesel, Marni and MM6 Maison Margiela, said there was an increase in demand for childrenswear brands, particularly in the luxurious range, citing more floors dedicated to kidswear in department shops and the growing mini-me trend.

“Also, parents enjoy showing that their children wear specific brands they themselves appreciate for his or her values and aesthetics,” he told WWD in December.
