This up-to-the-minute range of clothing for boys and girls comes from Belgium (surprise! surprise!). The girls collection is wonderful, bright and eclectic, but what makes Pilar even more special is that designer Sabine Hahn gives the boys equal weight. Look out for great knits and outwear, and clever use of prints. The Pilar collection looks like Northern Europe by way of downtown New York.

rita co rita

Rita Van Ostaeyen was born in Belgium, but now spends all of her time on Mallorca. Rita has always had an affinity towards knitwear and used to create sweaters and pieces for her sons, and later for friends and some boutiques.

The RcoR collections are refined and spontaneous and especially made to dress children as children, simple, colorful and with the possibility to mix everything together upon your own style and wish.

Her passion for knitwear, her love for culture and the natural belgian curiosity made possible the merge of nordic flavors with the vivacity and "joie de vivre" of the colors of the Spanish Island.
