Cool Beans

Little Bean Boutique Opens

The local moppet mafia is awash in predictable knit coordinates.

But thanks to newly opened children’s store Little Bean, your babe will stand out in sophisticated style.

Shop owner (and NYC transplant) Christine Visneau fills a void with her carefully edited selection of boutique children’s lines previously not found in Dallas. Creative displays (think vintage cribs and high chairs) showcase detail-oriented lines with vintage-inspired silhouettes like Wovenplay, Ses Petites Mains, and the store’s namesake, Little Bean.

Stop by the grand opening Saturday and enjoy a free photo shoot.

While you’re there, nab one of the Frank n’ Bean accessories, guaranteed to be one of a kind.

Just like your kid.

Little Bean, 5308 Junius Street (214-370-9111 or littlebeanshop.com). Grand opening, Saturday, 10 a.m.-7 p.m.; photo shoot, 2-4 p.m.
