Catimini Store in the US

In the event that your shopping shoes take you to NYC, you can find the exclusive Catimini Store in New York here. It's up between 84th and 85th on Madison. here's the google street view of the catimini clothing store, here

so close, yet sooo far from gymboree next door!

A Little Background on Catimini

The brand is owned by French designer clothing leader Group Zannier. The group's mission for Catimini is outlined as follows (ignore the slight oddities in the translation from French to English),
"Catimini : a brand apart. Very creative, determinedly creative upmarket garments for children in exclusive fabrics in trendy and refined colours.
A fun and affective spirit characterises the CATIMINI collections, always enhanced by ambroidery and application, real seductive assets for mother and child."

I've always loved mission statements, I like this summary from their website even better.
"Catimini exalts the imagination of young and old alike!". "Exalts" is a word that gets used too little in English, i guess the French verb is exalter? which explains why it's used here... too bad its not used more in English!
