‘Clothing In Which Children Can Be Children’: New Shop To Open Saturday on Elm Street
|
An area mom originally from Europe is planning to open a children’s clothing shop on Elm Street that features German lines serving newborns to 12-year-olds. Christine Eisenbeiss called the offerings at Ella & Henry at 137 Elm St.—anchored by clothing from Giengen, Germany-based Steiff—“high quality” and “functional.”
“Steiff has been very famous in the United States for teddy bears, but in Germany, in Europe, they have been making children’s clothing from quite some time and they’re very successful,” Eisenbeiss, a Germany native who moved to the states in the last few years and resides with her family in Port Chester, N.Y., told NewCanaanite.com. The price of the clothes is a middle range between Ralph Lauren and Gap, she said. If its initial shipment of merchandise clears customs as expected, Ella & Henry—so named after Eisenbeiss’s niece and son—will open this coming Saturday, Oct. 3, she said.
