Sparkle by Design

Whimsical clothing for children

Designer: Batsheva Markowitz

Wholesale: $16 - $20

Sizes: Boys 4 - 7, girls 4 - 6X, girls 7 - 14, infant, layette, pre-teen, toddler Standouts: The brand new trompe l'oeil, faux collar ("faux Chanel") tunic dresses decorated with crystals and beads; the pink tie dye 'smile' dress; the brown tie dye 'winged heart' dress; the tie dye one-piece with beaded sweets.

FYI: The whimsical, special, high quality 100% cotton items are guaranteed to "look just as nice after being machine washed" promises Ms. Markowitz who is now in her second year in business and has already added several more 'reps'. A thermal group, which comprises about 25% of the collection, is geared toward colder climates but the bulk of the line is year round.
