ZERO 20 KIDS
Excerpt from CALEDON CITIZEN:
Like Shopping In Europe
Beautiful, well-crafted clothing makes everyone feel good, regardless of age
– and Zero 20 kids offers endless options for fashion-forward babies, children and pre-teens.
The store name says it all: fun and stylish threads for boys and girls from size Zero (newborn) to 20 (pre-teen)
For the last 41 years, Vaughan’s Zero 20 Kids, led by company founder Santina Mariani and sister Anna Turrin, has been the go-to boutique for families to find designer labels for their kids at price points to please every wallet.
Top quality fashion lines featured at
the popular boutique include Hugo Boss, Lacoste, Diesel, Le Chic, Michael Kors, and Mayoral, a Spanish brand which is a favorite.
“Our suppliers stand behind their brands,
they come up with fresh new designs, source great fabrics, and manufacture with great skill to give us the best the world has to offer,” says Mariani. “We’re not play-in-the-playground clothes, we’re dressy-casual.”
And there is no shortage of options. Choose from co-ordinated outfits or mix-and-match pieces, at reasonable price points, or visit the clearance area and find incredible bargains, there’s something for everyone, every taste and every occasion.
Mariani started the business as a young mother, fresh out of studying retail at Humber College.
She realized there was a lack European quality children’s clothes in the Greater Toronto Area and opened a small boutique in a unit at the southwest corner of Highway 7 and Pine Valley Drive, in
the McDonald’s Plaza. Over the years, Zero 20 has expanded to five side by side storefronts in the same plaza.
This huge space is a shopping wonderland – for girls, the dress or outfit is easily found, but the fun is completing the look: shoes, socks, tights, hair accessories, and purse finish and personalize her look.
For boy – joggers, jeans, or pants can be co-ordinated with t-shirts, hoodies, shirts, sweaters and finished with caps, sneakers, or shoes, ready to be worn anywhere.
“We grew a lot bigger than what we expected,” says Mariani with a laugh. “That’s because you need a lot of selection, so customers don’t have to go to 10 different stores to find what they need; it’s all here in one location. “They call us ‘the one-stop-shop’ because
you can literally dress the kids up in-store from head to toe and go straight to the party.” Gift-giving for that precious new baby, birthdays or holidays is made easy, and wrapping is available in-store. Make sure to visit www.zero20kids.com to view the thousands of items available 24/7 for pickup in-store or delivery.

“We are proud and humbled by so many customers who say, ‘I shopped here for my children and now I am back here with my grandkids.’ It’s the satisfaction that we’ve lasted so long and helped so many clients, that makes it all worthwhile.”
Zero 20 Kids is located at 7700 Pine Valley Drive, Vaughan.
