There is much about French style that is imitable but nothing beats the real deal. Chic mothers will be pleased to know luxury children's boutique Bonpoint has set up shop in Hong Kong. A favourite with fashionable mums such as Madonna and Catherine Deneuve, Bonpoint was founded in 1975 in the artsy Saint Germain district of Paris, with the mission to create 'trendy designs that are also naturally chic'. The shop stocks clothing for children up to age 16 as well as swimwear, costumes for special occasions and a line of jewellery for teenagers. Staples include simple cut blouses with puffed sleeves (HK$799 to HK$1,100), pleated skirts, dresses (HK$1,000 to HK$3,000) and sleek slim-cut trousers (HK$630 to HK$1,100) for girls, while boys can check out Italian cotton T-shirts (HK$450 to HK$630) and slim-cut trousers (HK$850 to HK$1,100). Bonpoint is at shop 325, Prince's Building, Central, tel: 2526 9969.
