Splendid Littles: Luxurious Fashion for ChildrenSplendid fashions stemmed from an attorney’s desire to create the perfect T-shirt. After years of searching, Splendid founder and designer, Moise Emquies, discovered the magical combination: 50% supima cotton and 50% micro modal.

SplendidToday, the “clean, simple and effortless” look can be found in a collection of not only t-shirts but dresses, shorts, tanks, and more. Stylish celebs like Sarah Jessica Parker, Gwyneth Paltrow, and Julia Roberts are fans of Splendid, wearing the label both in and out of the spotlight.

SplendidSplendid Littles incorporates Emquies’ luxurious fabric in its baby collection. Kate Hudson’s son, Ryder, was spotted wearing Splendid Littles while on set of his mom’s new movie “A Killer Inside Me.” Ryder’s soft, striped Bermuda shorts are just one example of the soft, adorable clothes for babies, toddlers, and kids — boys and girls alike.

Splendid is sold at high-end stores including Barneys, Henri Bendel, Scoop and Fred Segal as well as online.
