There is a boutique in town that sells this line. It's really cute, and while I talked with the woman who owns the store, she says it wears well and the sizing is great.
I was just wondering if anyone here had any feedback. It's pricey, but if it's good stuff, I'd pay it.

I often buy Emma Absorba from Winners (Canadian version of TJ Maxx) and I really like it. It does wear well. The sizing it good but personally I do find that it often runs on the small size. They definately have cute stuff. :)

I find it runs a little small as well.

I find it a lot at Marshall's :)

I bought a bunch when it was on clearance when I worked at Marshall Fields. Its nice --its thick and very good quality and wears well. I agree that it tends to run smaller (just like Ralph Lauren). I've also seen a lot of it at TJ Maxx & Marshall's, but its older lines of it...nothing that was put out in the past year, typically.

I have bought some too and also thought it was of a really good quality. As others have said, it did tend to run small.

One of my favorite outfits for Krishan was Absorba. I got it off ebay. It was nice, thick cotton, very simple but well made. It does run a little small, it seems.

Absorba and most french l lines do run small. French children are potty trained earlier, so the need for diaper room is generally sized out by 24 mos., plus they tend to like a snugger fit in clothes than Americans. I love French children's clothing, and know a French immigrant who runs a children's clothing store so she and I have had several conversations about this! :blahblah:

I don't think you'd ever be dissapointed in the quality of Absorba!

Another vote that it's good stuff! I had a gorgeous outfit for Katie that I was so sad to see her outgrow. :( It looked the same after several washings as it did brand new. I was impressed!
