Every time you blink, it seems like your children need new clothes. While I love the convenience and price points of chain stores, there really is something special about walking into a children’s boutique and finding something unique. And, the customer service you receive is usually top-notch because it’s a more personable experience.
Fairfield County has some amazing children’s boutiques perfect for school shopping, outfitting kids for a special occasion, buying your baby’s first look, or even Christmas shopping! Check out some of our favorite spots to shop local.
