Two months ago Chi-Koo Kids made the move to Manuka from Mawson. The bigger, brighter, more accessible shop on Franklin Street is now very much at home amongst Canberra’s trendiest café and boutique district.
Chi-Koo Kids Director Sharon, a vibrant mother of two, certainly has been busy. Amidst the relocation of Chi-Koo Kids and a huge winter sale, Sharon has somehow found the time to design her very own children’s fashion label, Darlingheart.
Featuring hand crocheted dresses and a range of special and unique pieces for girls, Darlingheart is Sharon’s first label and is sure to delight.
With spring and summer just around the corner and deliveries of fresh and fun designs about to arrive, Chi-Koo Kids winter stock is reduced to clear, with most items marked down by 30%! Sharon has some fabulous trend tips for boys and girls this winter.
Featuring gorgeous tweeds, velvets and merino knits, the winter range at Chi-Koo Kids is perfect for keeping kids snug and cosy in the cooler months.
“For girls, smock style dresses that can be worn into the summer months and layered up on those chilly days with leggings and turtle necks have been strong statement this winter”.
Contemporary children’s line Big by Fiona Scanlan has proved very popular for girls this season at Chi-Koo Kids. Using nautical colour schemes across her winter range, Fiona Scanlan designs are playful and whimsical pieces with an emphasis on comfort and practicality.
Commenting on the emergence of a slightly more sophisticated style for boys, Sharon observes that “boys seem to avoiding hoodies and tees that are heavily embellished with screen printing, instead opting for more preppy lad style with vests and skivvies worn together with collar shirts and checked prints”.
Popular children’s brands Edenstar and Monstar Kids pay particular attention to keeping little men warm and stylish this winter with quality merino knits.
The much loved uniqueness of this special Canberran boutique is that Chi-Koo Kids stocks bigger sizes for more grown up kids. The larger sizes (for girls up to age 14, and boys up to age 12) tend to sell fast though, so be sure to visit Chi-Koo Kids soon and discover quality brands and fashions that are fun, exciting and hardwearing.
Of course, the new location of Chi-Koo Kids in the heart of Manuka means that mini shoppers and their parents can pop in to check out the high fashion for kids as well as Sharon’s new line Darlingheart, and enjoy a relaxing baby chino after.
