Iconic Kids' Clothing Brands Worth Investing In

Il Gufo
Il Gufo was launched back in the 1980s by Giovanna Miletti. The brand has since developed a cult-like following for its carefully crafted, couture-like children's wear. The designs are sophisticated, but playful and always made from top notch materials (the Italian label works with many of the same workshops that brands like Prada and Chanel turn to). For special occasion (or every day if you have the budget...) pieces that you can pass down from generation to generation, this is a great pick with quality you have to feel to believe.
