SHOP Petit monde

Oh yes, a new shop in town ! I'm very enthusiastic here because Petit monde has something different to offer in Geneva: vintage kids furniture and home made decoration. Catherine Micheli is the owner and the little hands behind the label Deôdeba accessories that you might have seen at La Boîte à Malices. She sews and creates with vintage and Liberty fabrics. No wonder that her preferences go to nice cotton and well made products with very neat finishes. She selected some brands to complete her assortment of children linen and accessories such as: Haciendo el Indio and Pipoca, my favorite. A blend of fabrics - children's quilts, pillowcases, cushions, aprons, tea towels, bags, pouches - from here and elsewhere, original prints, in a present style tinged with retro, lively and colorful : this is Petit monde !

SHOP Si le roi savait ça ...

Ohwouahou, how am I gonna describe this shop ! Edelweiss's address book depicted the place as a "joli foutoir" ... (Les lieux qui comptent, édition 2010 Glénat) Yes, a "beautiful mess" is probably giving you the tone ... then add a lot of colors and folk patterns - this place is yelling its vibrant craze for life through each object presented. Now, I should warn you that Si le roi savait ça is NOT a store for kids. Yet, you'll find here the best pieces from Djeco, Mon petit Art, Filament and Minilabo among some decoration's items and accessories for grows up. It's hard to tell if the tin toys, the soft plush and the guirlands are more likely to go in your room or the kid's one !

Entering the shop, I first fell in love with the collection of scarfs displayed on the left wall. You can choose from the creations of Mia Zia, Odd Molly or Epice's scarf (my favorite brand), the one that will reveal your kid's personnality. Also, be aware that in this shop, you are antiquing more than shopping ! Have fun.
