Children have their own unique way of choosing their clothes.

They can spend five minutes hesitating in front of a wardrobe… and half a second jumping into a puddle. It's a sense of priorities we greatly respect.

The Au Vieux Campeur – Congés Payés children's clothing collectionextends the heritage of the Rue des Écoles brand with a few essentials designed for school days, holidays, improvised dens, and all the adventures worth telling at dinner.

Essentials for little adventurers

Children's clothes have a pretty simple mission: to go with the flow.

And, if possible, to come back in good condition. But we know you can't ask for everything.

• Days that start early.A cotton kids' t-shirtaccompanies both school departures and holidays or Wednesdays when the schedule changes every ten minutes. You never really know what the day holds for them. Neither do they, for that matter.
• Always "just in case."A kids' sweatshirt almost always ends up in a bag before leaving. Parents say: "Take it, you'll see."Children reply: "I won't be cold."An hour later, everyone agrees.
• Kids' accessories that live their own lives.A kids' capis very familiar with park benches, school coat racks, and car backseats. As for kids' socks, they have a much more mysterious relationship with the washing machine. Two always go in. Sometimes only one comes out. We are still looking for an explanation.

Gifts that start a story

A gift idea for a childisn't necessarily the one that makes the most noise when the presents are opened.

However, it's often the one you find a few weeks later in all the holiday photos.
