Narguess on That Mama

http://sassymamahk.com/that-mama-narguess-sousi-of-petit-bazaar/

That Mama: Narguess Sousi of petit bazaar*

This week’s That Mama is Narguess Sousi, founder of one of Sassy Mama’s fave kids store – petit bazaar*… As mama to two girls (aged 6 and 4) we picked her brains about her style tips and tricks, and why giving up on sleep is her only option!

 IMG_2093

Where you do buy your clothes? How do you stay stylish as a mum?
I am French, so naturally I like French brands and french style. I like labels like Sandro, Maje (both available via Rue Madamein Hong Kong), Zadig et Voltaire or other smaller French clothing labels that are not so mainstream.

Paris is really inspiring in terms of style and fashion. On the street you really can see women who have great style without looking too pretentious and you can easily pick some nice ideas each time just by walking in the streets or café… I think style comes from within, it is our personality and our lifestyle, rather than about who has the latest ‘IT’ item out of the fashion magazines.

IMG_2048

How do you save time?
You have to be really organized. I love my job but I also really enjoy spending time with my family and kids, because they are who first inspired me to open petit bazaar*. Being a mum is not easy and being an entrepreneur at the same time — well, it can be really challenging. You need to be well organized and have patience to balance it all, and I am still working hard to be more organized when it comes to both my family and my business.

IMG_2420

 

What are your organizational tricks and tips?
I don’t really have any secret tricks or tips, nothing really crazy… but for me I need to have everything written somewhere like a reminder or to-do list, otherwise it can be really hard for me to be on top of everything making sure everyone is happy. I think as a mum we simply have to be multi-tasking so the husband and kids are satisfied and my employees are happy.

IMG_2369

Where do you shop for kids clothes and your household basics and food?
I like things that are special, unique and poetic… My girls are dressed in clothes that are good quality so they can be comfortable in them, but at the same time they are stylish. Now that I have petit bazaar* they became my little spokespeople for the brand, so of course I now shop at petit bazaar* for them.

Luckily I have a great helper who spares me the time to do our groceries shopping, because right now I just don’t have the time to do it and she has been with us long enough to know our favourites and family recipes — thank god for that! But if I have time to do quick supermarket trip then it is most likely be Great or Taste. I try to make sure both my girls are eating properly with proper food and proportion for their age.

What is your beauty must-have product?
I don’t have any beauty ritual and luckily my job doesn’t require me to wear make–up every day, but I do need my day and night creams. Also, I make sure that I eat properly and drink plenty of water, I think being healthy is also part of a beauty regime.

How do you stay sane?
Quality food and quality time with family and friends. I don’t think there’s anything that beats that!

IMG_20311

What is your favourite activity to do with your kids in Hong Kong?
I think it is great that Hong Kong weather is pretty much warm throughout the year, only those few months around Chinese New Year that can be quite cold, so that allows us to go to the beach and there are many nice beaches in the city. We also like ice skating as well, it is lots of fun! Otherwise, we live very close to the American Club in Tai Tam so the girls can dip into the pool or just chill at the club whenever they want.

Favourite kid-friendly restaurant in Hong Kong?
Our family favourites are Spices in Repulse bay or Coco Thai in Deep Water Bay

What’s the most important lesson you’ve learned since becoming a parent?
There is so much that we had to learn since becoming parents, and in fact we are still discovering new things with our girls as they grow, but I would say being patient and loving, having faith in yourself, your partner and your kids is what I’ve learn since I became a mother.

IMG_2221

 

How did you get the inspiration to start up Petit Bazaar? How has your life changed since starting your business?
After I had my girls in Hong Kong, I found it difficult to find stylish clothes at reasonable price or quality toys that doesn’t have cartoon characters all over it,very often I was buying everything from Paris whenever I went back. That’s why I wanted to bring this kind of French ‘bazaar’ concept to Hong Kong because I know there’s something like this missing in the city, because beautiful things shouldn’t limited to art pieces only, they should be something that is in our daily life and approachable so children can learn to appreciate art and beauty at very young age. Also with my background as a speech therapist working with children, and a trained Psychologist,  it helped me to know what to buy for my shops and what kind of items suits what age group.

My life has totally changed since petit bazaar*- it is like a fairy-tale dream come true! There is much more to do and so much to learn of course, but it is amazing and very fulfilling! I don’t get that much sleep now but I am full of energy and excitement of it!

 IMG_2205

 

How do you balance your business and motherhood?
Well! First thing I have to give up is my sleep! I only get to work while the girls are at school or after they’ve gone to bed, that’s why I said it is important to be organized and make my own schedule, in this way, my children still get their quality time with me and I can still be their mother. I don’t think there’s ‘perfect’ balance, but you just have to work out your priorities and to know what is important to you. Laid-back or disciplinarian? What’s your parenting style? 
Hmm, I think I am something in between, not too laid-back nor disciplinarian. I trust my kids so i am not the kind of mum who’s checking everything, behind their backs nagging them for everything because I think children still need to learn to take responsibility, but of course they are still very young, so you still need a bit of discipline to teach them right and wrong and manners… but I think I am lucky that I have really nice kids too and that makes it a lot easier.

Playtimes Novemeber 2011 interview with Narguess

Child's Play

- Playtimes November 2011 issue -

Struggling to choose the perfect gift for child? Rachel Kenney gathers expert advice.

 

The huge box that my husband's friend proudly presented to my son was beautifully wrapped and ribbonned. Full of excitement, we ripped the paper off to see what was inside. It was a very big, very shiny, very high-tech remote control car. It was a fabulous present - but not for my one-year-old, whos proudest achievements at that age were squishing his mashed-up dinners and baging saucepans with a wooden spoon.

While most of us are a little more clued-up about our gift-giving- and avoid glaringly obvious mistakes like giving marbles to a baby, or a rattle to a ten-year-old - it can still sometimes be a challenge to get it just right. We all want the presnts we have put a lot of thought - and money - into, to be a sucess. We want to give the sort of gift a child will treasure, not one that will end up as a mass of homeless plastic bits that are never quite reunited, or one that they didn't manage to get to grips with so it lives in the back of the cupboard, ignored. But when you walk into a toy shop and are greeted with an arragy of identikit Barbies, Bratz and Ben 10s, it's not always easy to hit the jackpot in originality and longevity.

Someone who has plenty of advice for gift-givers is Narguess Sousi, owner of two petit bazaar* boutiques. She selects toys and gift items for her shops for a living, and explains, ‘Two things help me choose items for the shop. First, I am a mum, so I can see what interests my own kids, who are four and six. Second, I trained as a speech therapist and psychologist, so I have studied children’s development in detail.’

She says, ‘Obviously, the most important thing to think about when buying a gift is the child’s age. If the child doesn’t understand the toy or game, he or she won’t be interested, and it will be a waste.’ It seems that the key is to choose toys that suit the skills a child has, and the skills they will develop in the near future, and to challenge, not to frustrate.

 Fun For All Ages

Narguess has advice for gifts for all ages, starting with a newborn baby. ‘I would choose something soft and useful, like a soft toy or a sleeping bag.

nanana pois mousse

(Nanana - Creations available at petit bazaar*)

What would Narguess suggest for a first birthday? ‘By the age of one, the baby will probably be moving more, so I would suggest some simple, pull-along toys that the child can take anywhere.’

janodpullalongxylo

(Janod toys available at petit bazaar*)

‘By the age of two or three, children often start to like more role-playing games, so they are at a perfect age for things like pretend food and tea sets – we even have a sushi basket made out of soft fabric. They might also like a wooden puzzle – some puzzles make a sound when you slot in the correct piece. At that age, children also love musical instruments, such as mini guitars and tambourines. If you were looking to spend more money, a dolls’ house, garage, or pretend kitchen are always a good purchase – children play with them for years, and they are great for making them use their imagination.’

Narguess continues, ‘When a child gets to about four or five, they are much more able to play games and build things. One of my favourites for this age is Kapla – it has lots of wooden blocks that you can create shapes with. It’s very stable, very long-lasting, and everyone seems to love making things with it, even adults. Craft kits are also a good choice.’

(Dumpling Dynasty available at petit bazaar*)

Living in Hong Kong, you often don’t have acres of space to store never-ending boxes of toys – but Narguess has advice for the square-footage challenged among us, too. She says, ‘One of our best-selling items is a magnetic wall map – it doesn’t take up any floor space. It is a lovely, big, colourful map with magnetic pieces that stick onto each continent. It’s educational, is great for lots of ages, and it looks nice – I think it’s especially popular here because Hong Kong kids travel a lot and are very open to the world. Another suggestion is to buy toys that come in their own storage box or basket"

'The emotional part of playing is the most important part"

So, what would Narguess avoid? ‘One thing you won’t see in our shop is plastic toys – the plastic might not be BPA-free, or may contain PVC. These things aren’t good for children, especially young children who might put it in their mouths.

‘I think it’s important to buy things that are built to last. We all like to find old toys from our own childhoods and pass them on to our children – perhaps one day our children will like rediscovering their old toys and be proud to pass them on to their own kids.’

When you get a new toy home, is it enough to just open the box and leave the child to their own devices? According to Narguess, the answer is a definite no. ‘You can’t just give your child a book and expect them to become a good reader. It takes time to build up their interest. It’s the same with toys. An adult should help the child play, discover, understand and create some fun around the toy. The emotional part of playing is the most important part.’ 

After that, it's child's play

I AM HERE

- Papier Mache 02 print issue -

- Welcome to the creative wonderland known as TALC. We spoke with creator Therese Yang about shopping addiction and the infamous bunny ear sweater. -

photography Melanie Rodriguez

Stylist Deborad Szef

What inspired you to start TALC?

After my best friend and partner, Catherine Chabas, and I had our babies and we found that we had limited choices when it came to dressing them. There seemed nothing between the beautiful/very expensive and the ugly/cheap brands...so we decided to create something reasonable and stylish.

You were born in Korea, tell us a bit more about where you are from? Are your origins a source of inspiration for Talc?

I was born in Seoul, Korea, but my whole family moved in teh late seventies to Paris as my father was a diplomat. I used to say that i was more Parisian than Korean but I'm not sure of that anymore!! A big par of Talc is now manufactured in Korea, which I am very proud of, because Korean people work hard and well and the more I go back there to work the more I appreciate the dynamism of the country.

When designing who is the child you are designing for?

Mine of course! But not only for her, I design clothes for all children from about the age of 4, so I wouldn't say that i think about a special child, I think more about what I really love....

Do you design with a timelessness in mind?

Clothes that can be worn season after season...I like basic, urban, stylish clothes but clothes for kids are very transient, they grow up so fast!! My background is in women's luxury RTW, I LOOOOOVE clothes. I am very festishist about mine. I have huge collection, but I think differently for children. I consider the enjoyment they can have in wearing those clothes...

Do you remember the first piece you created for Talc?

A sweatshirt with ears...

Each season, we love your famous masterpiece "the bunny ears sweat-shirt"!!! What inspired you to design it?

My board, with all the inspiration images for the very first Talc collection in 2006, was so serious, so minimalist, that I naturally felt that I needed a "joke", a "happy" piece. I never thought that it would become our best seller!!!

Do you have a favourite collection?

It's always the next one....

Have you always worked in the fashion industry? What designers do you most admire?

I was very very lucky to start working in the fashion industry when I was very young. I dreamt of it from the age of 6, and I have to say that, up to now, my professional life has been very rewarding. I have taught style in one of the best fashion schools in the world, the Studio Bercot; I have done Art direction/production on a lot of international campaigns; I have had buying experiences, met the most fantastic people - designers, models etc - but never the two most fabulous people ever in the business, Coco Chanel and Martin Margiela!!!

Who or what is inspiring you at the moment?

The Arabian rebellion!!!

What is your process when starting a new collection?

I always start by what I'm bored with! The things i don't really want to see anymore!!! It's good to start things by cleaning, no?

We always find lots of little adorable knick-knacks in your shop, where do you shop for all of this?

I love shopping, wherever I am in the world, it's a very bad habit I have but I feel less guilty now that I share it with my customers!

Were you a creative child? Where did you grow up?

I started to draw at 4. I never ever did anything else - drawing, cutting, painting, fashion was my obsession, and I'm sure I had the most amazing Barbie collection in the world! It stopped when we moved in Paris when I was 7. My entire Barbie collection was lost. I'll let you imagine the drama!

You have a young family...how do you manage motherhood and work?

It's difficult to be a Wonder Woman these days! I'm very lucky to have with me a clever and sensitive husband and a little 9 year old perfection called Mia!

What are you worknig on at the moment?

Introducing Tamar Mogendorff

petit bazaar* is proud to presents Tamar Mogendorff. Born and raised in Israel, Tamar's artistic instincts were encouraged by her highly creative family. She took the advice of her grandmother to pursue her artistic dreams and later moved to New York in 2001. Tamar's collections are poetic and elegant. They are hand-stitched from linens, mohair wool, cotton, vintage fabrics, tweed, antique embroidery, pashmina and other fabrics, and incorporate antique and vintage buttons, beads, silver thread and old ribbons. It is such an unique home decor that is suitable for adults and children, they are playful yet beautiful and we hope you will like them as we do!

Tamar's collection is now available at petit bazaar*
