Designer baby clothes usually make a cute and cool baby gift! Giving 'basic' baby clothing for sure is practical and there is nothing wrong with it! But it also might have kind of a 'boring touch'.
Adding a designer tag or even a designer logo to your baby outfit makes the difference - provided you can afford it! A new family needs to purchase so many new things like various baby gear and the nursery for the newborn. Thus, most families do not have the finances to afford designer baby clothing. But most mums actually do love designer clothes - and that will make your luxury baby gift something very special!
When buying designer clothes for baby you should bear in mind that newborn babies outgrow their outfits in no time. If it's designer baby clothes that's all the more a real bummer. So, in general, the bigger the size the longer it fits. That's why you would like to opt for a bigger size such as about 9 - 12 months. By then, baby can crawl and already 'express' itself and show off these awesome and stylish baby clothes in style! If you buy a bigger size always consider what time of the year it will be (summer / winter season) by when the clothes will fit.

Some European designer brands might not be available in the US or the country you live in, so if you favor one of these brands you really must get inventive and search the net for an online store that ships worldwide. In that case try alexandalexa.com (UK based, free standard international shipping) or childsplayclothing.co.uk (UK based, free standard shipping worldwide on orders over £ 100).
In general, Nordstrom is a good place for (online) shopping for baby designer clothing. Check out nordstrom.com. They really do have a vast offer of designer baby clothes. Nordstrom offer free domestic standard shipping (US). They also ship internationally but in that case you will be charged with the shipping costs.
Bergdorf Goodman also carry a good selection of designer baby clothes. However you cannot order online but need to give them a call for shipping outside the US and Canada.
