Kid cool/ Baby cool where can I buy them?
Gem13 · 16/06/2003 21:37
I've bought a couple of really nice Baby Cool outfits for DS at an NCT sale. Any idea where I can buy them?

Kid Cool is on sale in Belgium... I am sure that's of no help!
Gem13 · 16/06/2003 21:55
Thanks pupuce - you're right, it's not!
That's the trouble with buying second hand things, you find something you like and then you have to go to Belgium.
Gem13 · 16/06/2003 21:57
Not that there's anything wrong with Belgium, of course.
I'm just hoping someone'll come back and say that the label is available on the internet and it's cheap!

You could go back to the organiser of the sale and ask if they know who sold the clothes. Might be impossible but it may be a local mum who makes them, someone who advertises in the NCT newsletter or sometimes volunteers staffing the sale will notice that one seller puts in particulalry nice things.
Where are you Gem13? I can ask on the NCT Virtual Coffee if anyone knows.

Thanks all for your replies.
The Kid Cool shop has gone (not listed in yellow pages) and I can't track them down on the net through the usual shops. Looks like Sears in the US sell them though and then there is always eBay and more NCT sales.
Definitely a Belgium company. Trip on Eurostar beckons...

There's apparently a Kid Cool in Wilmslow, Guildford's Friary Centre, Poole... Whereabouts are you Gem13?
GillW · 17/06/2003 14:37
Don't know if this helps at all. Doesn't list any UK outlets, just France, Belgium and Italy.
Gem13 · 17/06/2003 16:51
Gosh, now I feel like a real shopaholic! France and Italy too (well done GillW for tracking down the website).
I'm in Sussex, SoupDragon. So Guildford would be fine. Where did you get that info from?
SoupDragon · 17/06/2003 18:53
I searched for "Kid Cool" shops on Google I think, choosing UK only pages. Some were rubbish and some were web pages for shopping centres. Obviously I can't be sure how out of date the info is. The Guildford Friary Centre site is here
"Kid Cool" Sussex didn't come up with anything helpful by the way.
Gem13 · 17/06/2003 20:00
Thanks for that SoupDragon - clearly more internet savvy than me! Trip to Guildford it is then...

Sorry - Wilmslow one shut down about 2 years ago - great clothes though.
SoupDragon · 17/06/2003 20:40
Phone them on 01483 503773 before you set out to see if it's still there. If the Croydon one's gone and the Wilmslow one it maybe that the company pulled out of the UK.
