Anne-Claire Petit {netherlands}
Good news! Our friend Sandra is having a baby girl next month so you know what that means for me - a valid excuse to shop at darling baby boutiques (grin)! My favorite store in Hannover for the kiddies is Von Klein Auf, it's absolutely the sweetest shop, I could spend hours looking through everything. Most of the products are from Germany, Denmark, Sweden, and the Netherlands - like Anne-Claire Petit.
If you've not heard of her collection before, Anne-Claire Petit studied industrial design and started her career as a designer for Esprit, where she spent four years until deciding it was time to move forward and develop her own brand, Anne-Claire Petit. Her company has been around now for over ten years, it's a colorful handmade line of children, home, and pet accessories. You can find her products all over the world.
The red and white crochet mushroom bank (above) is a personal favorite of mine, I'm always looking for a spot to toss my change. For the locals, you can find many items from her collection at Von Klein Auf located at Edenstrasse 42 near Lister Platz.
