Milk X Bonton: Children’s Fashion Celebrated at a Parisian Pop-up

This publication is also available in: Français Deutsch Italiano Español English (US)

A breath of poetry settles in the heart of Paris. From March 26 to April 5, the concept store Bonton Turenne hosts a pop-up imagined hand in hand with Milk Magazine, a lifestyle reference for contemporary families. The event celebrates the first fashion collaboration between the two houses through a delicate and sensitive capsule collection, Tree of Life, and offers a joyful immersion into the world of children’s fashion. With inspired storytelling, creative workshops, and a curated selection of brands, this stylish interlude stands out as the must-attend event this spring. Spotlight on the Milk X Bonton collaboration.

A collaboration conceived as a declaration of love for family bonds

At the origin of this capsule is a dialogue between two universes that share the same vision: that of a free, creative, gentle, and non-gendered childhood. Milk Magazine, known for its sensitive editorials and aesthetic vision of modern parenting, and Bonton, a pioneering house in children’s lifestyle, merge their sensibilities to give birth to Tree of Life. A collection as brief as it is precious.

The theme of the tree is not trivial: it symbolizes both rooting and growth, transmission and protection. It is around this powerful image that the capsule is articulated, in a decidedly poetic and narrative approach. The collection features revisited basics — sweatshirts, bodysuits, t-shirts — in a subtle mineral palette (off-white, dusty pink, sage green), accompanied by a limited edition screen-printed poster. Each piece is conceived as a link: between generations, between child and parent, between nature and home.

With Tree of Life, we are not just talking about clothing, but about a gesture. A gesture of dressing your child with care, meaning, and consciousness.

An immersive pop-up in Paris, between sensitive scenography and suspended time

The choice of location is not arbitrary. The iconic address of 5 boulevard des Filles du Calvaire, the historic stronghold of Bonton, transforms to host this editorial event. Far from a simple display, the pop-up is designed as a physical extension of the narrative conveyed by the capsule. One enters a soft, muffled universe, conceived as a cocoon.

The scenography highlights the material: raw wood, natural textiles, botanical prints, and vintage objects create a vibrant decor, halfway between a child’s bedroom and a poetic greenhouse. The tree, the central motif of the collection, is represented in totem, screen-printing, and embroidery. The whole exudes the elegant simplicity dear to both houses.

But the pop-up goes further: it becomes a living space, a place for meetings and shared moments. This is the strength of the initiative: to offer a deeply human retail experience that speaks to both children and parents, in an immersive editorial approach.

A creative and inspiring family programming

Beyond shopping, the event is enriched by a series of workshops and creative appointments, open to children and their parents. They translate into experience what the capsule evokes in textiles: creating bonds, memories, and emotions.

Among the highlights announced is a natural dye workshop with Whole or the creation of a first cookbook with chef and culinary author Stéphanie Antoine on Saturday, March 29. On Wednesday, April 2, children can learn to decorate Easter-themed canvases or get introduced to floral art. As for parents, they can have family portraits taken, attend a conference with the founder of Dijo on probiotics, and even supervise the casting of their offspring, as the Gamins agency will be present throughout the event to scout future models.

A highly desirable selection of brands to complement the universe

If the Tree of Life capsule is at the heart of the initiative, Milk and Bonton do not forget their role as discerning curators. The pop-up thus welcomes a selection of lifestyle brands that extend the sensitive universe of the collaboration.

Among the 34 brands present, you will find The Sunday Collective, Namaki, Dijo, Gamin Gamine, Mézamè, and Amour Tempête. A collective vision of a creative, gentle, and conscious family lifestyle, in line with the values upheld by Milk Magazine since its inception.

This is also an opportunity for visitors to discover emerging young brands, selected for their uniqueness and complementarity with the shared DNA of Milk and Bonton.

By bringing their universes together around a project that is both fashion-oriented, artistic, and sensory, Milk Magazine and Bonton sign more than just a simple collaboration: they invent a new way of talking about childhood, from a child’s perspective, but with the discerning gaze of today’s parents. Between emotion, commitment, and aesthetics, this pop-up asserts itself as a gentle manifesto for meaningful fashion.
