Eloise

Reduce, reuse, recycle. At Children's Couture we think local and sustainable. What does this have to do with children's books?

As children most of us collected stuff. Piles of it shoved under the bed and into chests. Upon rediscovering some of this "stuff" it becomes obvious a trip to Goodwill is on the agenda. While we have disposed of countless playthings, however the books remain.

Thanks to our parents or teachers we were introduced to books in which characters and places brought us joy and helped us develop a sense of imagination. Certainly Eloise influenced Mary-Alice Dalton, the creative force behind Children's Couture. Eloise is the main character in a series of children's books about a six-year-old girl who lives in the Plaza Hotel in New York City with her nanny and pets. Sometimes the best stories are not the most recent. Like Children's Couture outfits, Eloise and similar stories are classic.
