AlexandAlexa are pleased to welcome a cute new addition to our team. In her native France more than 800,000 of these charming family pets are adopted every year, almost matching the national birth rate. She’s taken a ride in the designer bags of Hollywood’s most recluse celebrities and boasts a 5 star rating on Mumsnet. No she isn’t a designer pug – she’s a rubber toy for your baby to chew, suck and toss on the floor.
You know that feeling you get when you buy something new and you are just buzzing with excitement? It’s great, right?
This is exactly how we feel right now at AlexandAlexa.com. The buying team have just returned from the kidswear trade show Pitti Bimbo in Florence. Battling the 32 degrees Summer sun (ok for some 
) they brought home a fantastic photo diary, brilliantly amateur (!) videos and their gorgeous choices for Spring / Summer 2012.
Pitti Bimbo is the biggest trade show for kidswear and takes place in January and June every year in the beautiful city of Florence, Italy. All the best brands showcase their collections for the season to come and welcome buyers into their beautiful booths especially created for the event. From a retro circus for the kids to beautifully produced fashion shows, it’s all happening at Pitti Bimbo.
Of course, we know that you can’t wait to see what’s in store (literally!), so we will be bringing you sneaky peaks of your favourite brands as well as introduce our new exciting labels. So, WATCH THIS SPACE!
