Time to book the plane and train tickets for Playtime Paris, due on January 31 to February 2 at Parc Floral de Paris. The show will welcome 440  international brands around children’s fashion/decor and maternity. Here’s a quick preview of this 17th edition, the largest since the creation of the show in 2006.

For Playtime, growth does not equals dilution : the brand assortment is just as selective, complete and easy-to-read, focusing on the best collections of the moment in an inspiring and convivial work setting.
