About Us
Rooted in tradition, made for today
Petite Carlota is a children’s clothing line for parents who believe dressing their children should be as thoughtful and special as the moments they share.

Our high standards for your little ones
Timeless European Aesthetic
Each garment is thoughtfully created to capture the beauty of traditional European aesthetics, with a modern touch. Our in-house designs reflect a refined approach to dressing children, bringing the elegance of the European lifestyle to every piece.
Handcrafted in Spain
We carefully select family-owned ateliers in Spain to handcraft each piece with love and care. Our garments are impeccably made by skilled artisans who bring richness in design, beauty, and heritage, ensuring every stitch reflects true craftsmanship.
The Finer Details
We’re committed to enduring quality with thoughtful attention to detail. Our custom fabrics and natural fibers are soft on delicate skin, while hand-finished touches like rich embroideries, custom prints, and smocking ensure every piece is as durable as it is beautiful.
Meant to be Cherished
The Petite Carlota collection reflects the love and care you devote to every moment with your child. Trends come and go–we believe in crafted pieces that are meant to be cherished, passed down to other little ones, and loved for years to come.
Turn little moments into lifelong memories
From our founder
I'm Melanie, the founder of Petite Carlota. Some of my earliest memories revolve around a floral pink dress my father brought back from Spain—hand-smocked, beautifully crafted, and unlike anything else. It became my most cherished piece and sparked my love for timeless design and thoughtful details.
After eight years in New York and preparing to grow my family, I wanted children’s clothing that reflected the same European craftsmanship, with fabrics and details as beautiful as the moments they’re made for. When I couldn’t find it, I created it myself.
Petite Carlota is a collection of timeless designs handcrafted by family-owned ateliers in Spain. Every piece is made with custom fabrics, thoughtful details, and a whole lot of love—just like the care you put into raising your little ones.
I’m so excited to share this dream with you
