The burnous, a traditional garment in use for centuries, was conceived by the Berbers as a means to withstand the nighttime cold of the desert. Originally, it was a coat of very fine, lightweight wool. Its enveloping cut and pointed hood offered warmth and comfort without hindering movement. Bonpoint, as a specialist in high-end baby clothing, reinterprets the concept of the burnou. Now a star item in our winter collection, it is a reflection of the unique artisanal expertise of our House.
We present a luxurious interpretation of the burnou, crafted from noble, durable materials. Straddling the line between a cape and a cardigan, this elegant piece wraps the little ones in a cocoon of warmth and softness. Besides their authentic, timeless design, our newborn burnous are distinguished by meticulous detailing. An invisible closure at the back, a small pocket on the side, mother-of-pearl buttons at the base of the hood... These charming touches add a dash of refinement and originality to each piece.
Cozy attire for effortless dressing of your little ones
Crafted from gentle, natural fabrics, Bonpoint's burnous offer warmth and coziness for your little boys and girls. Whether made of cashmere, wool, or a luxurious blend of wool, yak, and cashmere, these fabrics cater to the tender skin of newborns and infants, ensuring exceptional garment durability. To prevent any discomfort, they are attentively constructed with high-quality seams and meticulous finishes.
Beyond safeguarding infants from the cold and drafts, our newborn burnous simplify the often challenging task of dressing them during winter. Designed with a zipped opening at the back, they can be put on and taken off with ease. They quickly become an indispensable part of your little one's wardrobe, especially when they're eager to move on from their changing table! Some models even include kangaroo pockets, perfect for keeping tiny hands toasty.
Essential Items for Baby's Winter Wardrobe
Bonpoint offers a selection of newborn burnous models. To effortlessly outfit all little boys and girls for the winter season, they are available in a range of sizes, from 3 months to 2 years.
In hues like mottled brown, milk white, or plum, our burnous come in soft and timeless colors, seamlessly blending with the rest of your toddler's clothing. They are an ideal choice for everyday casual moments, be it a stroll in the park or a ride in the stroller. Yet, certain models are also suitable for more formal occasions! Pairing a milk-white burnous with a woven voile romper, for instance, creates an especially elegant look.
Iconic pieces, passed down from generation to generation!
While Bonpoint continues to honor traditional and authentic sewing techniques, our House also stays ahead of the curve with the latest trends and innovations in children's fashion. We've been committed to an ethical and responsible approach for years, employing sustainable manufacturing processes and prioritizing the use of pure, natural materials.
In an effort to foster a more circular fashion cycle, we've created an exclusive second-hand service. This new platform, Bonpoint Vintage, breathes new life into our previous collections, including our newborn burnous.
