Emile et Ida Has Arrived at Growing IVY: French Kidswear in the San Francisco Bay Area

Looking for Emile et Ida in the San Francisco Bay Area? We’re excited to welcome the beloved French childrenswear brand to Growing IVY.

Our first Emile et Ida collection is now available online and at our children’s boutiques in Burlingame and Los Altos, California, bringing the brand’s playful Parisian spirit to Bay Area families.

Meet Emile et Ida

Founded in France, Emile et Ida creates children’s clothing that feels imaginative, effortless and distinctly French.

The collections are known for soft colors, whimsical prints and thoughtful little details — pieces that feel special without feeling overly dressed up. There is a sense of childhood in everything the brand creates: playful, comfortable and made for children to actually live in.

It’s exactly the kind of balance we look for when selecting brands for Growing IVY.

Why We Chose Emile et Ida for Growing IVY

At Growing IVY, we discover children’s products from around the world and bring together the ones we believe are genuinely worth knowing.

For clothing, that means looking beyond how something photographs. We think about how it feels, how easily children can move in it, the quality of the materials and construction, and whether a piece feels distinctive enough to earn a place in a child’s wardrobe.

Emile et Ida stood out to us for its combination of beautiful design and the ease of everyday childhood.

The collection feels European without being formal, playful without becoming overly cute, and elevated while still being wonderfully wearable.

Our New Emile et Ida Arrivals

Our first edit includes a selection of pieces for little ones, chosen to mix easily into everyday wardrobes while still bringing something unexpected.

Expect playful prints, beautiful colors, soft textures and the small design details that make Emile et Ida instantly recognizable.

As with many of the independent and international brands we carry, our quantities are intentionally limited. We prefer to curate a thoughtful selection rather than carry every style from a collection.
