Along with having an HRH (Her Royal Highness) title, Marie-Chantal of Greece is also the founder and creative director of her eponymous childrenswear line. That understood, who better to outfit a wannabe princess than a living, beathing one? Stroll into any of her boutiques around the world, or click through the finds for children aged 0-12 on the company’s website and you will find yourself cooing repeatedly over the beautifully made clothes. The selection of apparel and accessories for girls and boys is elegant and timeless, with a special nod to her own childhood growing up in Asia (think gingham shirts reminiscent of school uniforms and perfectly tailored coats). Virtually any of the looks can be passed down from one generation to the next—the importance of which Marie-Chantal, mom of five children (Olympia, 17; Constantine, 15; Achileas, 13; Odysseas, 9 and Aristides, 5), fully embraces.
Of course, retail runs through the blood for Princess Marie-Chantal, who also now sits on the board of DFS stores – the duty-free empire her father created. With this family legacy and her own experience on her shoulders, the company has aggressive plans for expansion over the next five years. Cross your fingers and hope for a Marie-Chantal boutique to open in your city before your children outgrow the dreamy clothing, fit for little princes and princesses.
