About the Winner

When French designer Sophie Thimonnier launched her line of premium baby accessories in cashmere and organic cotton, she wanted to refresh the old-school baby-shower tradition with a unique blend of vintage chic and high quality couture. We call it "glam for babies", but she's celebrated by her trendy clientele in the Hamptons, London, and Paris as "the queen of fashion knitting."

Her home-based San Francisco company offers adorable booties, scarves, and blankets exclusively available through private sales hosted by her most faithful customers. All products are entirely hand-made in the U.S. and France by Sophie and her experienced craftsmen team, including her mother and grandmother.

Hand-fabrication follows a time-honored process to produce only the best and guarantee absolute attention to details. And most importantly, each piece is unique, which makes Paul et Sophie creations the most original, luxurious and memorable gifts for babies and mothers.
