When it comes to luxury shopping, Harvey Nichols department store knows a thing or two about exactly that, as it’s world renowned for its exclusive edit of world’s most prestigious brands.

The brand pays homage to its adult line, but here ranges in size from 1 year olds to 10. Each of its feminine designs, from playsuits to ruffled dresses with tie shoulder straps, is adorned with paisley prints and florals, or pretty broderie anglaise, so you’ll little girl doesn’t have to long to wear your clothes anymore, she can wear her own that match.
