My China Girl

My grandmother was Chinese. Well, not really, but she wanted to be. Her house was filled with Asian antiques, and she loved to wear Asian inspired silk outfits. Very Auntie Mame. (The woman (bless her soul) even dragged me off to “Chinese Breakfast”, a vile tradition (before 12am, in Panama. It was bloody awful.)

So. When I saw this charming Asian organic line for children – I thought of my abuela, and thought of how she would of been as delighted as three turtles to see her great-grandson in a few of these outfits.

Bequita creates sweet as dumpling outfits for children who will grow up to love Pandas and Hello Kitty.

Casual enough for school, but elegant enough for visiting, Bequita has found a sweet little niche for those of us who were ever lucky enough to live close to a Chinatown, and love all the silk outfits hanging in the windows, or had a beloved almost Chinese grandmama.

再见!
