For every ten hand-me-down baby outfits you rake in, you make one little splurge. (A cashmere crib blanket never hurt anybody, right?)

Next time, allow yourself the luxury of shopping at Bonpoint, a boutique that just opened on Oak Street. The French import (and first Midwest location) bubbles with sophisticated, hand-sewn threads for girls and boys ages newborn through 12 years.

Crack open the door of the chandelier-crowned space to find feather-soft merino wool sweaters and cotton twill trousers for babies that are cute enough to air-kiss. Older girls and boys slip comfortably into a London-inspired fall collection (think Primrose Hill-appropriate rabbit fur vests and Camden-esque blue madras crepe shirts).

Prices ($70-$650) become easier to swallow once you imagine the pieces landing in the hands of generations to come.

Bonpoint, 37 East Oak Street, at Rush Street (312-475-9140 or bonpoint.com).
