Super great experience at this store today. I walked in with…read moremy son (in a stroller) and the layout of the store was spacious. I came in with a bag of clothing that all had the tags on them that I was looking to retuen for store credit. Upon entering, we went immediately to the cashier to total up the credit which was around $40. I was told that it couldn't be purchased on a merchandise credit card and to go shop and make purchases right then and there (which was fine because that's what I had planned on doing anyway). After discounts and whatnot, I totaled in my head that our new purchase would be about $42 and tax. I ended up getting a great amount of quality outfits for my son, now all in his correct size for about $4 additional. I'd totally recommend shopping here.

The store was packed with merchandise and we were excited to see that they had a huge selection of clearance items.

The shop was here for decades, with the most beautiful selection of the finest European children's and infants' clothing, shoes, accessories, stuffed toys, and classic children's books. I shopped here as a child and throughout my children's baby and teen years. The proprietor, Linda Keunkler Ward, sadly, passed away in 2018, it was a very special, tasteful, and lovely shop. My children and I have memories of the shop's pet gerbil, Christmas photo cards pinned to the wall, and a little dish of gum drops at the checkout counter.

I gotta say I've hunted far and wide for the odd baby gift, took great pride in trying to be the cool aunt to my nieces by finding unique clothes, and ive even worked in a shop or two in my day. But I tell you this with great confidence - you'll never find a shop with such an exquisite array of children's clothing. Im not kidding. The owner has impeccable taste, and Ive yet to poke through these racks and find something that wasnt classic and of the utmost quality. If you ever find yourself in Essex, Ct.: 1. consider yourself lucky. 2. visit the red balloon. Love, Sara

It's a smallish store but they use the space well and it's very upbeat, friendly and tasteful. Prices are in line with the rest of the street.

Whoever does the buying has a great eye and pretty much any shape or size or taste will find something here. I'm coming back for holiday shopping for sure!
