All the brands offered must be locally made, made in America or fair trade to earn a spot in this sweet boutique. There is a lot to look at, so make sure you give yourself time for two laps through the store!

The Argyle Alligator gives moms a chance to indulge in high end brands for their tots without breaking the family budget. Look for a big selection of Lilly Pulitzer, Mini Boden and Shrimp & Grits for boys and girls newborn to 6T and when they outgrow the fancy duds it’s time to bring them back to consign them.

Vestique
