Tout Compte Fait – Al Ghurair Centre
The French clothing chain for the stylish children of fashionable parents is now also in Dubai.
Priding themselves on their “creative, up to date and softly affordable collections” in a variety of bright colours, this children’s outfitter is proudly and defiantly different.
Carrying both a babies range for fashionable tots and separate girls and boys ranges for kids aged from 3 to 12 there’s no excuse for not having the smartest kids on the block.
They’ve got a pretty useless website at http://www.toutcomptefait.com/homepage.php if you’d like to get a flavour of their products.

More American shops looking to open in Dubai
Despite the gloom that shrouds the retail sector in the Western world, sales in Dubai’s shops are up 10% this year and consumer confidence is at its highest for 7 years.
With potential for growth in the struggling US market limited, and disposable income in Dubai high, American chains are looking to expand into this lucrative new territory to offset losses in their home markets.
A host of stores are reportedly looking to join recent arrivals Pottery Barn, Bloomingdales, Victoria’s Secret and American Eagle.
