Simply Abu Dhabi XX

items from the world over. Now sourcing unique brands from Italy, Paris, London and further afield, this utterly charming boutique is the result of their quest – and a place for parents of the UAE to begin their own family journey and establish everlasting memories. Children’s Lane is home to exclusive European luxury brands including Notte Fatata by Savio Firmino, Belle and Boo, and Stevenson Brothers Rocking Horses – which are a favourite amongst Europe’s royal families. Here too you will find clothing brands such as Mishka Aoki, La Stupenderia, Hucklebones, Amberley, Les Enfantines, Nanos, and Nicki Macfarlane - designer of the royal bridesmaid dresses to the wedding of H.H the Duke and Duchess of Cambridge. All of the Children’s Lane range of toys, including Uncle Goose Classic Blocks, Marbushka and Ragtales dolls, are soft or wooden, and are made from safe, child-friendly material. Parents will also appreciate the selection of nostalgic toys, such as classical toy cars or musical pillows, which are both educational and designed to engage their children for countless hours. Yet even amidst the wonderful array of European classics on offer, Children’s Lane has the UAE at its heart. The boutique stocks a range of local favourites, such as Dumye: Dolls with a purpose (for every doll purchased, one is gifted to an orphan), Allegro Child, Birds n Bees, Poupette a la Plage and Kalimat Books. Indeed, the boutique’s founders are committed to nurturing the best the UAE has to give, and to becoming a community for like-minded parents. 1 7 9 S I M P LY A B U DH A B I
