About the directory*

What is the Pirouette directory?

The Pirouette Directory is a curated hub for children’s fashion & lifestyle. It features brands, stores, creative professionals, and services so you can discover, connect, and collaborate.

 

Who uses the Pirouette directory?

Consumers: parents and shoppers looking for kids’ fashion & lifestyle products.

Are the listings curated?

For Shoppers (Consumers)

Can I shop directly from the Pirouette directory?

No. The directory isn’t a shop. Each listing links to the brand’s or store’s own website or shares details about their retail location, so purchases always happen directly with them.

 

How do I find the right brand or store?

You can filter listings by:

  • Age range (newborn, baby, kids, teens)

  • Gender (boys, girls, unisex)

  • Product type (apparel, shoes, lifestyle, décor, accessories)

  • Country of origin

  • Store type (independent boutiques, concept stores, department stores)

 

What types of brands & stores are included?

A mix of independent labels, heritage brands, and retail stores — from local boutiques to international names.

For Professionals

What professional listings are available?

The directory includes:

  • Creative professionals: photographers, stylists, hair & makeup, child models.

  • Agencies: PR, communication, talent, and brand representation.

  • Services: press support, trade show production, event management, consultancy.

 

How do professionals use the directory?

  • Buyers & distributors source new brands and stores.

  • Photographers, stylists, and models get discovered for campaigns.

  • Agencies and service providers attract clients for PR, production, and communication projects.

 

Why should professionals list on Pirouette?

A listing raises your visibility within a targeted global community, boosts SEO, and connects you directly with potential clients and collaborators.

For Brands & Stores

Who can create a listing?

Both brands and stores. Whether you design children’s clothing or curate them in a boutique, the directory helps you reach families and industry professionals.

 

What’s the benefit of being listed?

  • Brands → connect with parents shopping online and buyers scouting new labels.

  • Stores → attract families searching for places to shop and brands seeking retail partners.

 

How does a listing help with visibility?

  • SEO-optimised profile indexed by Google.

  • Direct links to your e-commerce site or retail store.

  • Visibility within Pirouette’s trusted network of media, events, and editorial.

 

What if I’m not listed?

That’s ok, but if your brand, store, or service isn’t listed on the Pirouette Directory, you’re missing a valuable opportunity to be discovered by both consumers and professionals in the children’s fashion & lifestyle space.

By not being listed, you miss out on:

  • Visibility: Your name won’t appear in directory searches filtered by age, product type, gender, or country.

  • Traffic & SEO: No backlinks driving visitors directly to your e-commerce site or store — and no extra boost from Pirouette’s strong search presence.

  • Professional exposure: Buyers, press, agents, stylists, and collaborators won’t find you when searching for new talent and services.

  • Consumer connection: Parents and shoppers exploring the directory won’t discover your products or know where to buy them.

  • Pirouette platform support: As the trusted voice in children’s fashion & lifestyle, Pirouette offers more than just a directory. Listed members are connected to our wider ecosystem — including features across the blog, zine, newsletters, events, and curated trade show collaborations.
