capucine: all baby – all mama – all stylish
when pregnant, i cannot say that finding that perfect outfit was particularly easy. as i have mentioned before, i think i checked the whole city out and while i found a bunch of casual, o.k. stuff, finding anything glorious was nearly impossible even if i were willing to pay the price (pea in the pod just didn’t do it for me). my two high end favorites were veronique and cadeau(now closed) which both had pieces with amazing quality and style but were a little too inaccessible pricewise so i limited myself to sample sale finds.
only at the end of my pregnancy with s. did i find capucine in tribeca which is not cheap but just seems like good value. this extremely well edited store has a great aesthetic and is filled with a fantastic selection of super attractive, just-what-you-would-want-to-wear-if-not-pregnant, maternity clothes. way back when, i lived in a pair of cords from capucine, and on my recent visit they had some great looking jeans including those pictured above by revive and myer. capucine also had a wide array of great looking tops with excellent colors (lots of greys, purples and greens) and brands like menonove, 3j workshop. they also have a nice array of purses (leaders in leather) and some shoes (the ubiquitous but useful repetto).
capucine also has a small array of kids clothes with the most beautiful, exquisite pieces for babies though they go up to age 6. the gorgeous linen, cottons,silk and wool pieces included brands like serendipity, rooster nyc and ketiketa. i also loved those adorable, modern sleep sacks above by som baby. while my friend living in paris had given us a great one of these sleep sacks, i never found one even remotely appealing in new york so this was a find. they would make a great gift.
capucine also has a pretty extensive, high end furniture selection downstairs. i loved how well designed the space was with great little vignettes for showing off the various sheets, pillows beds and cribs with gorgeous rugs, wonderful art work and accessories. the furniture selection was pretty much what everyone expects these days on the modern side (oeuf,, etc…) but capucine had a bunch of more unique items like fantastic beanbags chairs from 3 sprouts, night lights in the shapes of bees and cars and wall stickers from nouvelles images. the range at capucine makes it easy to pick up presents, or just to indulge the baby or yourself. 20 harrison street near greenwich street, manhattan, new york, .
