Happy Labor Day! Ses Petites Mains is grateful to be American made.

Happily made in San Francisco and soon to feature more!

Since we started making our line of Tiny Chic Clothing back in 2006, we have been committed to working locally in all aspects of design & manufacturing.  Every item that we carry, has been created within our studio in San Francisco & then sewn at a factory, a quick car ride away. 

We take great pride in what it means to 'make something' and have hoped that our product and our mission of celebrating 'making things' again, would rub off. 

And, eight years later, it seems like we are moving in the right direction!

So much so, that we plan to start featuring other locally made products within our Tiny Chic Boutique--things for Mom, things for Dad and all the other wonderful people in your life who might just really love receiving a gift that does more than give. 
A gift that keeps a community thriving; a gift that creates local jobs;
a gift that reminds us of our own abilities and one that will last a long, long time!

So please stay tuned.  We can't wait to share the products that we have found,
the products that you won't be able to wait to have, for yourself!

emilie on emily by ericka mcconnell

We just love how our emilie blouse looks on the lovely model Emily, shot by the fantastic photographer, Ericka McConnell.  I think the time has come for ses petites mains to create an Ericka dress, blouse, something.  But how could it ever match her certain sorta' savoir faire?  See more of Ericka's work here....

flicka in alyce dot -- spring's freshest new dress

The tremendously talented photographer Ericka McConnell took these beautiful photos and we couldn't wait to share.     

That ever-so-sweet model is wearing our Flicka dress, ses petites mains' new fresh dress in one of our signature fabrics-the lovely, textured alyce dot.    

Your little one will love the detailing and the ease of Flicka--an apron-like dress with gentle gathers at the neckline & waist.  The gathered straps are slightly sheer where the dress is fully lined in cotton voile.  

Tie the belt to the side, to the back, any way you like it.

Flicka is perfect for any day & every day. 

Find Flicka at our tiny chic boutique.  

tiny chic occasion, keeping us busy

We have been up to our 'high point of shoulder' 

(a design term, refering to the point where the neck hits the shoulder, 
in case you are wondering!) 

with requests for tiny chic special occasion dresses.  

And we couldn't be happier!  

We have received glowing reviews for our dresses which 

keep little girls looking like, well, little girls
(just a bit chic-er than normal)
for all the big & small events in their life.  

You can see our full collection of special occasion dresses
within our tiny chic boutique. 

We can also create something truly unique for your event--be it color, fabric, trim--whatever.

Email us with your needs, we look forward to creating something special  for you!

we love saying 'we told you so'...

ses petites mains has been made in San Francisco, 

starting with our first collection in 2006.  

Creating local jobs, supporting our community and 

reducing our footprint,  has meant a 

great deal to ses petites mains. 

So imagine our joy when we see headlines like this, from the 

article by Allison Arieff, for the the New York Times.
