Boutique Banter9 Months 286 Newbury St., Back Bay
Philosophy: Owner and Brookline-based mom of two, Katie Tagliazia, loves small collections, especially ones with a range of price points. For instance, she carries high-end baby furniture by Netto Collection, as well as the company’s more affordable line, Cub.
Most popular items: Cotton socks with sneakers printed on them are year-round best-sellers. During the holidays the Silver Cross toy pram is popular – the one Zahara pushes alongside Angelina and Shiloh.
Fall trends: A little trench coat with Liberty print lining, by Makie, that’s so divine Katie commissioned a large-scale version for herself; baby T-shirts by Wooliwiess, on which you can stamp a footprint; and, inspired by an exhibit at the MFA, she’s added slings which are dyed and printed using Old World Japanese techniques.
Celeb sightings: Every pregnant Red Sox wife, but no baby Violet. They keep hoping, especially as they now carry Serena & Lily, Jen’s reported choice for baby bedding.
Season event: 5th Annual Fashion & Trunk Show to benefit Birth Sisters. This year they’ll showcase the trendy California maternity label Maternal America.
