Expensive clothes brands have long ago started lines to cater to children. Then, something bigger followed suit - upscale children's stores.

Apart from cutesy expensive clothing, these designer stores are also selling furniture, toys and whatever else they thought a child might want. It may seem a bit too extravagant for most of us but there is a demand for this kind of store. A niche that has been serving affluent shoppers for some years now.

If this kind of shopping fits your budget, then you might want to head on to Poshtots and Trust Fund Baby (239 Grand St. New York, NY 10012. Phone: 212 219-3600).

The name alone says a lot about the kind of budget you may need in order to shop there.
