California has a new cool boutique called Mint. Three months ago, Cecile opened a 800 sq ft space in Mill Valley, the most magical forest town with some of the tallest, most ancient trees in the world – a short drive from San Francisco.

.

a space celebrating goods made by fabulous creatives:
unique books
artisanal apothecary
heirloom-quality toys and objects
select clothing and accessories for men, women, kids
many others with a past, present, and most of all, future
.
How large is the part dedicated to children’s at Mint ? You could say 50% caters to children or “whimsical adults”. Sometimes we get more adult designers and artists buying the goods for themselves instead of the kids.
What children’s brands do you carry ? Wovenplay, Donna Wilson, Nico Nico, Coral and Tusk, Nui Organics, Namhee, Oeuf, Grimm’s, Smiling Planet, and some other local artists
What stores do you like in other cities ? Devera in SF for old world magic, Dosa on Thompson in NY for their textiles, Acorn in Brooklyn for kids, Bonpoint in Paris, Zero Maria Cornejo for fantastic draping and cuts in the most comfortable dresses!
Your favorite online destination ? I am so busy with the shop and my son I hardly have time to get online (as you can see from my own sloppy blog) BUT when I can, I find myself utterly inspired by Mina Perhonen‘s website- the designs/ensembles speak to me so much. Oh and Pirouette is fantastic! :)
