Hermes – Father & Son’s Ties
The coolest thing this spring, Hermes pure silk, hand folded neck ties, in matching print and material for both Father and Son. Hermes has a new Spring-Summer 2009 collection of heavy silk with “Lucky” emblems on them as well a really sweet looking rep tie, to keep your boy looking traditional chic, not traditional geek. Hermes ties are made of Silk, Heavy Silk, Silk Twill Rep Tie, Silk Linen Rep Tie and folded from one solid piece, then stitched. This is the true mark of a well made necktie. They are cool enough that your little one might not want to take it off, he just might need two. HERMES

Garvalin Sandals for 2009

The footbed is cushioned for comfort and the outsole is made of durable rubber, so they should last till your kid outgrows them. Available at ZAPPOS.

Moncler
Not to be outdone, your little one can also be tres’ chic for the winter season and as far as practicality goes, they do need a good winter coat. These however are the coolest ones you will see. Moncler is not just some fashion house, no no my friends, Moncler was the first maker of a down filled coat, first seen on Lionel Terray, a famous Italian Mountain climber in 1952. Then it was Moncler who outfitted the Italian Olympic ski team for the 1968 Winter Olympics in Grenoble, France. This was the first quilted, down-filled winter parka. History indeed for the offspring, the only problem of course are too many choices. Below are just a sample of the many styles and designs. MONCLER

Clek – OOBR Booster Seats, Special Edition Clek Jackets
I know I have posted about the cool Clek booster seat in the past, but this is something new. I already love the way the Clek comes complete with the “Latch” system for extra safety. But now, Clek has these cool “Paul Frank” Jacket covers for the Olli Booster seat. They also make a new model Clek calls the “Oobr”. This is not just a booster but it is a three point harness that allows a shoulder point for your seat belt, as well as head support for your smaller one. The “Oobr” will be available in January 2009.

Taga Convertible Bicycle
This Dutch designed bike converts to a stroller or a cart in a matter of seconds. It folds up and is light weight. As far as accessories are concerned, there will be plenty, including a car seat adapter, shopping basket and even a seat to hold two children. I don’t see this convertible bicycle making it to the USA anytime soon, considering your stringent safety regulations (at least that hasn’t been de-regulated yet). You can always leave it to the Dutch to be innovative and original. This bike is not yet available, hopefully soon. TAGA
