Jacadi’s Thanksgiving Collection Channels 1920s Paris

Thanksgiving outfits from French brand Jacadi? Mais oui!
The couture-like children’s label favored by celebrity moms including Katie Holmes, Jennifer Lopez and Kelly Rutherford, has pulled back the curtain on their dressy looks for fall. And oh la la – it’s love at first sight.

Taking inspiration from 1920s Paris, Jacadi designers combed historical fashion archives to achieve the perfect balance of vintage references and of-the-moment freshness. The result is an expertly crafted collection made from the finest fabrics and timeless patterns. From newborns to children up to 12 years old, a charming and romantic Thanksgiving ensemble awaits.

For girls this means dresses in polka dot taffeta, faux fur stoles and the perfect poplin blouse. Bows, rosettes and ribbon details conjure effortless elegance and classic French girl chic. The head-to-toe collection includes accessories, outerwear and a full line of European-made shoes. A polished pair of ballet flats or Mary Janes provides the finishing touch.

Boys are treated to perfectly tailored flannel trousers, oxford shirts and cashmere cardigans. A striped sateen tie and supple leather loafers? Check and check.
Updated knickers capture turn of the century trends, but this time in luxe materials like wool tweed or woven herringbone. Paired with handsome knit knee socks they’re a nostalgic alternative to traditional dress pants.

No matter how hectic modern life gets, the holidays remain a celebration of tradition and heritage. Investing in heirloom-quality pieces from Jacadi is just one more way to make and savor beautiful memories.
