& Other Stories Kids' Capsule Collection

New from one of our favourite high-street brands, & Other Stories' spring/summer kids' capsule collection is an edited selection of mini-me pieces for young girls – many of which mimic the brand's hero adult styles. To that end, there are also co-ordinating items in the collection for women, too, so you can match your little one in style this season. We love the puff-sleeve dresses and ruffle details on the pretty co-ord sets – all evocative of & Other Stories' usual feminine aesthetic.
