Love love love this shop. The owner, Elise, is so down to earth, friendly and extremely stylish. I love that she makes the clothes sold and is so creative and artistic. The pieces in the shop are not your everyday baby gear you will find at Carters of Target. Very cute, fashionable and tasteful clothing for boys and girls with the cutest accessories. She had kid friendly toys to play with while you shop with your babes. Everything for the most part is reasonably priced and I love to shop here for all the sweet babies in my life. From onsies, to headbands, to moccasins and pursed to dresses and shirts to cute décor for your lil ones– this is the place to come.

I love babies! OK, who am I kidding? Don’t get me wrong, they are truly adorable … but it doesn’t entice me to have one, or take one home. I have tons of friends and family that are folk I like to call *breeders* — and that means I need to find something cute, unique, and off the beaten path for when I need to buy a gift for a shower or birthday for a little munchkin. When you walk in, it’s cute, inviting … and it kind of throws you back to when you were a kid. The whole store feels like a giant *make believe* closet, and you are there to play dress up and pick out anything you want. You actually start to get bummed out since you know nothing will fit you, maybe a tutu… and then you remember that you are buying something for someone else. I was just here recently to pick up some items for a shower, and purchased a couple of organic baby clothes.(Who knew?!) Is this important? Apparently it is, and the owner seems to have her finger on the pulse of what the consumer wants. What do I know? I just want to be the cool friend and/or family member that picks up something cute and awesome for a gift. I smile slyly as the mommy-to-be opens my gift ~ feeling like the hipster in the know. «Oh, that is so cute!» the crowd gasps. «Isn’t it? It’s organic too!» «Oooooooooooh!!!» Best place to shop, and look like a rock star in the process.

Super cute kids stuff that is unique and so hard to find! My 5 year old daughter loves her twirl dresses from there. Always a fun place to shop. And as a photographer, I recommend this shop to buy the cutest accessories for your photoshoots, babies and toddlers!

The first time I walked into Stripes was a weekday afternoon after having lunch in downtown Campbell. This store is perfect for cute and inexpensive baby and toddler clothing. I don’t have any kids, but I love to buy my niece dresses from here! I’ve seen everything here from hand made bows and headbands, to baby moccs, onesies, leggings, tops, tees, etc. — you name it! Absolutely darling clothing. Stripes is a hidden gem!

I love this store! Cutest baby clothes and accessories! I work in fashion and spend a ton of my time looking for cute and stylish products and I’ve finally found a store that has what I like.

What? How does this baby and children’s boutique only have one review? Stripes is awesome! I am so very lucky to be across the way because I get to see the inventory as soon as it comes in. Owner Elise offers headbands, bows, fedoras, sun hats, socks, clothing, bibs, art, and much more. Though it is a small shop, there is a very nice variety. My toddler always gets compliments when I dress her in a Stripes summer dress because it is so unique. I do not have anything against big name brands, but supporting small business means a lot to me. The other review mentioned that the shop was often closed. Being that Elise is a mother to a toddler and a baby and runs her shop solely on her own, she can’t be open«mall» hours. However, she does a great job of committing to the hours that she posts, which are actually substantial boutique hours. I believe she sells online as well, so if you can’t get into the shop, find Stripes on social media sites. Although, I highly recommend going to the shop, meeting with the face, and supporting small!

This store is super cute but has its drawbacks. While it’s marketed as a baby and children’s store, the items cater much more to babies. Which is fine but needs to be known before you go in looking for items for your toddler. Also, since I assume its one family running it they are closed more times then not. On the upside hey are insanely friendly and helpful.
