Bye Bye Flora and Henri

Earlier this morning, Capitol Hill Seattle reported that Flora and Henri would be closing their doors on January 31, 2012. Flora and Henri is a children’s boutique located on 11th and Pine. While I never had a reason to shop there, that has never actually stopped me from stepping inside for a visit to swoon at all of the adorable little pieces.

I’m actually really sad to hear them go especially because they’ve had such a presence on how I’ve viewed the Capitol Hill neighborhood since I’ve lived here. They’ve always been next to Molly Moon’s and it’s the shop that I get to walk by on my way to the park. Additionally, I’ve gotten to introduce the boutique to Gelesia and my friends and I were once accused of eating the ice cream of other kids outside of the boutique.

That never happened, I swear. It was a very bizarre story.

Flora and Henri will continue to operate out of their studio downtown and assist customers through appointments.

You’ll be missed!

No Competition

“I bet you could fit into that sweater right there,” Beth pointed to a navy and white striped cardigan on the rack.

Beth, Wes, and I had been coming back from a late lunch. On the way back, we were talking babies so I had to point out to them my favorite boutique for toddlers Flora and Henri. The clothes were too cute we wanted them for ourselves, but we only resorted to window shopping because we don’t have babies.  Our longing gazes apparently caught the attention of a woman inside with her children.

The door chimed as she came out to us and said, “Don’t steal my ice cream?” She hastily grabbed her cup of pink Molly Moon’s Ice Cream and swiftly went back into the store.

Wait – –

Was she talking to us? Was that a joke? Did she really think that we would take – much less – eat her partially melted ice cream? Did we look like people who would do such a thing?

I didn’t even notice the ice cream there until she came out to retrieve it!

Okay miss crazy – don’t worry – we won’t steal your ice cream when we could have purchased our own right next door.

Flora and Henri

Flora and Henri is a cute little shop located right next to Molly Moon’s on Capitol Hill. Every time I’m in line for ice cream, I always find myself peering into the windows of Flora and Henri. They have the cutest clothes and toys for children. Their fabric comes  from Europe with designs catered to infants – ten-year-olds. They currently have two locations: a shop in Seattle and a shop in the Upper East Side of New York.

Here are just a few of their items:

Terry Hoodie [$61.50-67.20]

Yellow Pepper Print Dress [$95.20-98.00] Cotton Cardigan [$63.00-85.40]

Striped Cardigan [$50-72]
