Profile

Owner and designer Susan Lane's irresistible, offbeat infant-and-children's clothing-and-accessory line is perfect for creative layering. A striped cotton jersey dress is just the thing to keep your kid hip though the vintage children's furniture on display is no longer for sale.

My daughters and I were on vacation and wandering through Tribeca admiring the architecture when we stumbled upon the most quaint children's clothing store I've ever seen. Out of all the stores we ventured into in NYC, Bu and the Duck was my favorite. I loved the mixture between old and new. And the owner was very friendly and down to earth. Would like to visit again on my next trip to NYC.

Honestly the best little shop for kids' clothes in Manhattan!

The clothes are beautifully made and timeless--somehow combining classic styles (like an Eisenhower jacket) with trendier pieces (knits and lace). These clothes receive more compliments than any other clothes my kids wear--Jacadi, Flora & Henri, Melo, Ralph Lauren--and they last through washings, hand-me-downs and lots of playtime. Although I only visit 3 X/year since I'm now 2 hrs outside the city, the owners remember me and are so kind. They even offer to put things aside in my taste for me. They keep my daughters entertained while I shop. Just wonderful.
