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

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

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, the 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 is set to be the must-visit event this spring. Spotlight on the Milk X Bonton collaboration.

A collaboration conceived as a love declaration to the family bond

At the heart of this capsule is a dialogue between two universes that share a common 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 short as it is precious.

The theme of the tree is no coincidence: 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 reimagined 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 the child and the parent, between nature and the home.

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

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

The choice of location is deliberate. The iconic address at 5 boulevard des Filles du Calvaire, the historical 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. You enter a soft, muted universe, conceived as a cocoon.

The scenography emphasizes materials: raw wood, natural textiles, plant prints, and vintage objects create a lively decor, halfway between a child’s room and a poetic greenhouse. The tree, the central motif of the collection, is represented in totem form, in screen print, and in embroidery. The whole exudes the elegant simplicity cherished by both houses.

But the pop-up goes further: it becomes a living space, a place for encounters and shared moments. This is the strength of the initiative: to offer a deeply human retail experience that appeals to both the child and the parent, within 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 embody in experience what the capsule evokes in textile: creating connection, memory, and emotion.

Among the highlights announced is a natural dyeing 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 will be able to learn how to decorate panels around the Easter theme or get introduced to floral art. As for the parents, they can have their family portrait taken, attend a conference with the founder of Dijo on probiotics, and even supervise the casting of their offspring, as the agency Gamins will be present throughout the event to scout future models.

A highly desirable brand casting 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 can 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 carried by Milk Magazine since its inception.

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

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