I totally agree with Sherry. I was really excited to hear about Stella’s collaboration with Baby Gap, but after checking it out in person this weekend, I was very disappointed. The cute pieces I was looking forward to weren’t even there except one, and the rest of the collection was extremely dull and not worth the money at all-much less interesting and unique than Baby Gap’s own line. I find this especially interesting since Stella’s been quoted as saying that the higher end baby lines tend to be boring and stuffy. While some of her pieces really were unique, the vast majority fit that exact description. Not worth it at all for the most part, especially with all the other options out there.

I was really excited when I heard she was doing a line for Baby Gap, but I’m not sure I’ll be picking up any pieces of this. I took a look at the collection, and I don’t think it is that original or interesting. Most of the items in it, my baby daugther already has. Tulle skirt? Check. Every baby company in America has a version out right now, and most of them aren’t $58, even the very high quality ones. My daughter has 2– in silver and pink. Solid one piece sweater outfit? Check. About 4 times over. And most of the colors are boring neutrals. I think my daughter is too young to fade into the background wearing a bunch of gray and khaki– blech. I was actually more impressed with the lines that Cynthia Rowley and Amy Coe did for Babies R Us. My daughter has several pieces of each, and we love them, and I’ve bought a lot from both lines for my nephew. The Cynthia Rowley line is very good boutique-style quality, in particular, and the Amy Coe line is just fun. Don’t get me wrong– I do buy pricier baby clothes. My daughter wears Janie & Jack, Baby Gap, Kissy Kissy, Juicy, etc. But I don’t think I’d throw down the money for a neutral line that doesn’t have anything particularly interesting about it. I just bought WAY hipper/more interesting clothes for my nephew at H&M for about 1/3 the cost of these!

I love the Gap, but this new collection is way overpriced for childrens clothes. $100 for a sweater?! I agree it’s also very plain, nothing special about it. Just another marketing ploy targeted at the upper middle class. Businesses know people will essentially “waste” their money on things like this to feel like they’ve got “one up” on the lower middle class.(I went to business school)

I took a look at the collection – it looks plain and expensive. And $98 dollars for a girl’s sweater is fine if you are not on a budget, but I know most working adults that don’t spend that much on a sweater! I will stick to Target for now for cool affordable clothes. (Also H & M when possible).

Well, I think they’re adorable and will definitely be getting some pieces for my girls. Love when Gap brings higher-end designers in, just purchased some of their new bootcut jeans and the fit is amazing.

And not very original and cute.

Overpriced, just can’t see that it is worth it.
