Marie-Chantal, Founder of Marie-Chantal & Crown Princess of Greece

November 16 2020

Introducing a guest gift spotter that knows a thing or two about chic and timeless baby gifts! Marie-Chantal, Crown Princess of Greece, is the founder and creative director of Marie-Chantal, an international childrenswear brand, and the author of a popular parenting blog. Born in London, and one of three sisters, she spent her early years in Hong Kong before attending schools in Switzerland and Paris. Her passion and aptitude for art and design then led her to New York City, where she studied at the New York Academy of Art and New York University. In 1995 Marie-Chantal married Pavlos, Crown Prince of Greece. They have five children: Maria-Olympia, Constantine Alexios, Achileas-Andreas, Odysseas Kimon, and Aristide. Despite being immersed in the world of playdates and potty training, Marie-Chantal found a way to combine her two passions—being a parent and her love of design—in the creation of her eponymous children’s clothing line. The first collection was launched in 2000, the brand’s ethos being nostalgia, timeless design, and a firm belief that children should look like children. The label has since gone from strength to strength, counting both royals and celebrities among its fans.

Below you will find some of Marie-Chantal's picks in and outside her line. Some of these picks are also scattered throughout the site as you browse various gifting permutations!

Picks From

Marie-Chantal...

	On writing a series of posts about etiquette on my parenting blog a few years ago, I began to receive etiquette questions from readers. Being a lifelong advocate of the importance of family and tradition I realized there was a need for a guiding voice to help navigate today’s social minefields—and so Manners Begin at Breakfast was born. With this indispensable handbook, I hope to take the stress out of modern parenting and help families learn and grow together, especially during this difficult time.
