About Us

Welcome to Piccola!

Thank you for finding our little corner of the internet!

We're Janna & Maria — two sisters, who are also moms and aunties. Together we set out to create a shop that celebrates the magic of childhood: toys designed to inspire hours of imaginative play, beloved books your little ones will want to read again and again, art supplies that spark creativity, and heirloom-quality clothes that are as thoughtfully made as they are beautifully designed.

We grew up in a big family — seven siblings in total! — so we know firsthand what it means for kids' clothes to be hand-me-down worthy, built to last through generation after generation.

Each year we travel to Paris for the Playtime trade show, bringing home the loveliest treasures we can find from around the globe: whimsical, timeless patterns from the Parisian brand Hello Simone; playful, sustainable pieces from Little Green Radical in the UK; soft knits and charming prints from the Danish brand Fliink; and everyday favorites from the beloved American brand Rylee + Cru.

We also carry cherished toy brands like Maileg from Denmark, home of the world-famous Maileg mice; the artsy Parisian label Moulin Roty; and Le Toy Van from the UK, known for its exceptional wooden toys.

So whether you're after sustainable children's clothing, artisan kids' books, or toys that spark imagination, you've come to the right place. Follow us on Instagram for our latest adventures and events here in Northern California. We can't wait to meet you!
