Tartine & Chocolat
Tartine & Chocolat is a French house dedicated to childhood, founded in 1977 by Catherine Painvin. At the time, she imagined a world for children that felt soft, elegant, and comforting—far from the rigid or overly formal clothing often available then.
From the beginning, Tartine & Chocolat was conceived as more than a clothing brand. It was a complete universe, designed to accompany children from their first days through their early years.
The French Vision of Childhood
The spirit of Tartine & Chocolat is rooted in tenderness and simplicity. The collections reflect a gentle approach to dressing children, where comfort comes first and elegance is never forced.
The clothing is designed to feel natural on the body, with cuts that allow movement and fabrics chosen for their softness. Nothing is meant to distract from the child. The clothes follow, rather than lead.
A Complete Universe
Over time, Tartine & Chocolat expanded beyond clothing to create a full world for childhood. Alongside garments, the house designs accessories, nursery pieces, soft toys, and objects that bring continuity and calm to everyday life.
This universe is coherent and recognizable. A world where colours are soft, details are discreet, and everything is designed to feel reassuring and familiar.
Tartine & Chocolat works with quality materials such as cotton, linen, and fine knits, selected for how they feel on children’s skin and how they wear over time. Attention is given to finishes and details, ensuring garments are comfortable, durable, and pleasant to wear day after day.
