Kids' Shirts

A button down shirt is the piece parents reach for when a photograph is going to be taken. Ours are made to survive that job and then the rest of the day, in cotton soft enough that a child forgets they are dressed up. The details that matter on a children's shirt are unglamorous ones: buttons sewn on properly so the third one down does not vanish, a collar that holds its shape after washing rather than curling at the points, and a body cut with enough room through the shoulders that arms go up without the hem coming untucked. In the UAE a shirt also has to work across a wide temperature range, worn open over a tee in a cold restaurant and buttoned in the heat outside, so a breathable weave does more work here than it would elsewhere. Ours range from crisp checks and stripes for school style dressing to softer prints for weekends. Sizes run from baby through the early school years, with free delivery across the Emirates over AED 200.
