Designer Kids Wear is a boutique that’s filled with a range of fun and formal outfits for babies, toddlers and even teens. As one of the few places in the city that centralizes its fashion on high-end goods for younger age groups, Designer Kids Wear has become a recognized destination for consumers seeking quality clothing that will stand the test of time.

Angela opened the doors of Designer Kids Wear in Vaughan in 1997, after carrying out a bustling career as a chartered accountant. With her third child on the way, she decided to take her business knowledge and use it to finally pursue her zeal for retail. “If you enjoy what you’re doing and you have a passion for it, you can overcome any situation, no matter how many obstacles are in your way,” says the impassioned owner.

Designer Kids Wear’s success speaks for itself. “Our growth over the years has just been astounding.” said co-owner Anthony. With a degree in Business, he has taken over the finance and administration aspect of Designer Kids since 2006. “We are very grateful. We have a loyal clientele and have surrounded ourselves with an exceptional staff. We have a team of polite, genuinely caring and knowledgeable individuals who share our passion for providing a great shopping experience.”

The debate to choose quality or quantity is one that often arises in a society that can sometimes appear to be driven by consumption. When deciding what to purchase, you may want to consider buying your child a few high-end pieces over several lower-end pieces. “A child really doesn’t need a large wardrobe at any given time. So if they have a few quality pieces it’s just that much more special.” Choosing quality over quantity doesn’t necessarily mean spending more. It can simply mean buying select items that last longer and reflect your little one’s personal style.

Designer Kids Wear also offers a great selection of gifts that range in price, brand and looks. To make your shopping experience easier, they offer gift cards, gift receipts and will even package your purchase. “At the end of the day we really just want to make our clients enjoy coming in to our boutique, whether its just to browse or purchase that special item.”
