Fashion. For little ones who matter.

The day my first baby was born, we were not really sure if we were expecting a boy or a girl.

Well, although our gynae in Singapore had predicted a girl, our midwife here in Sweden foretold that it would be a baby boy.

So in the delivery ward, the first moment I knew I had successfully made my final push, I asked the hubby ecstatically "So? So? Is it a boy or girl?"

He looked over, double checked, turned back to me and said with a smile "It's our baby girl, Angel."

It's not that we prefer girls to boys but from that minute onwards, I was thinking of how much fun it would be dressing up my little girl in all sorts of fashionable clothes, lacy dresses, ruffled skirts, cute accessories and everything girlish. Like it or not, in most children's apparel stores, the girls section is always so much more interesting and exciting to shop.

Staying in Europe gives me the liberty to hunt for fashionable wear for my girl that looks more distinct and hip than the usual array of clothes we see in Singapore. One of my favourite shopping outlets has to be H&M because they are always coming up with new arrivals and exclusive collections designed especially for kids.

However, I soon discovered a big problem.  

$$$$$!

It's like if you want your kid to look good, you'd gotta pay the price. I was looking at this trendy dress that I was tempted to buy for Angel, then I turned the price tag and saw it cost a bloody SGD$70. Considering how she would outgrow it in less than a year, it was simply not worthwhile to make that investment. I had no choice but to put it back on the rack reluctantly.

Does fashion for kids really have to come at a high price?

For a period of time, I was so hooked on watching "Project Runway" that I was half contemplating taking up sewing lessons and designing my own clothing collection for kids. At the very least, I already have a sewing machine at home so that cuts the cost somewhat, wouldn't it?


To save my hands the trouble and keep my self-esteem from suffering a setback, I recently came across IN2Kids.com, an online store for fashionable kids wear which brings in popular fashion styles from Korea and Europe.

Imagine all your favourite fashion wear, now made into kids' sizes.

Imagine your girl wearing what you love to wear. 

Imagine your little princess posing in a trendy, modern dress that's simply chic and gorgeous. 

Imagine being able to do that AND not burn your pockets.

Sounds too good to be true? Well, nothing's impossible!

IN2Kids believes that fashion should not be limited by age and that kids wear can be fashionable too. It offers good quality and highly trendy products, coupled with an affordable and flexible pricing strategy.

Have you ever bought a cute little dress for your kid, only to take it from the wardrobe months later and realise it simply doesn't fit anymore? Yeah, not just me then. But you know what, I've lost count how many times I did that already.

Which is precisely why I love their innovative Lifetime Trade-in Policy which makes mothers like me heave a big sigh of relief. Under this policy, parents can return any used IN2Kids apparel in exchange for a SGD$5 voucher per item which can be used on the next purchase. There is no time limit or expiry date as long as the item is in wearable condition and this process can be repeated an infinite number of times. Moreover, all used apparel will be donated to Salvation Army and other groups dedicated to helping less fortunate kids. So, you actually get to shop with increased savings while doing a good deed at the same time.

There is also a 30 days exchange policy for any sizing issues. *Phew* Let's face it, we might not always be lugging our kids around while shopping but yet we cannot help it but shop for them most of the time. For online purchases, IN2Kids also provides free local delivery for addresses within Singapore. Overseas purchase and delivery are available with shipping fees incurred. In addition, there is also a membership programme which gives 1 reward point for every dollar spent, enabling the redemption of a SGD$10 voucher with every 200 points accumulated.






IN2Kids.com is a user-friendly and concise retail website that provides up-to-date information on the new product arrivals, ongoing promotions, company policies and even provides a size guide and gift voucher purchase option.

Since price is a major consideration for many of us mummies, I hope you'll be as thrilled as I am to know that the price guide at IN2Kids is as below:
  • Dresses start from $25 to $39
  • Tops start from $19 to $25
  • Bottoms start from $15 to $22
*Remember: You are entitled to trade in and redeem a SGD$5 voucher for each retail piece!
