Baby Bonbons proudly designs luxurious items for babies and children, including heirloom-quality clothing embellished with vintage lace and unique baby gifts printed with original art, in the USA.
Made in the USA
If Baby Bonbons were to follow the trend today of businesses being lured to less expensive overseas manufacturing, they would not be able to maintain their high standard of quality control and customer service. The owner, Rosanna Bernstein, loves creating each little detail, embellishing her clothing designs with tiny silk posies, flower brooches and gorgeous lace pieces. She thrives on working with each client to custom-design the most stunning, unique and one-of-a-kind outfits for their little princess… something just right for that special occasion. Ms. Bernstein gets satisfaction in knowing that she is increasing, instead of decreasing, jobs locally—she has added several by manufacturing her clothing line in her company’s Miami Beach studio. She believes her products are also much safer having been made in the USA. Another positive, she is able to meet her shipping fulfillments on time, as she is not waiting for overseas shipments. American Made is a win-win for both Baby Bonbons and for its customers.
How It All Began
Several years ago, a well-known 50-year old South Florida textile store went to auction and Ms. Bernstein was fortunate to take home hundreds of bolts of the most stunning unique laces from years past. She never fails to be inspired by their beauty when she walks through her racks of extraordinary old lace. “I feel that the one thing that makes my baby and little-girl clothing line unique is these special vintage beauties,” she says. This lace lends itself to feminine designs for special occasions.
As a girl, Ms. Bernstein adored drawing and stitching fanciful outfits for her dolls. She learned to love and appreciate beautiful pieces of old lace and linens rummaging with her parents through trunks at estate sales and dusty antique stores. A year of collecting and savoring these textile treasures has brought her full circle. She now designs and manufactures a delicate feminine clothing line. Her designs take life from the patterns, colors and textures of my vintage laces and trims. “A girl can never have too much lace or too many ruffles.”
When she first studied clothing design, the feel of fabric became her passion. Her first design endeavors were sumptuous hats and purses for the Kentucky Derby, then luxurious felted-wool purses using the blended wools from the sheep on her Minnesota farm. Recently, she was introduced to digital art and now combines her whimsical children’s watercolor drawings — printed on silky fabrics for baby blankets — with brightly colored fabrics to produce unique baby gifts and accessories. In the future, Ms. Bernstein hopes to launch Baby Bonbon Boutiques and have a larger presence on the Internet.
What Makes Baby Bonbons Unique
When a little girl wearing a Baby Bonbon Lacey “Rufflie” arrives at a party, she lights up the room. Bernstein’s custom-made, ruffled, vintage-lace flower girl dresses and skirts have been shipped to Canada, England, New Zealand, Australia and The Netherlands, as well as all across the U.S. They have been successfully featured at Zulily events.
Ms. Bernstein feels her business has grown so successfully over the years because she has been able to pamper each of her customers the way she would love to be. This is made possible because she designs and creates her products in the USA.
