"Fetching Window displays draw passersby into this Village children's shop where a thoughtfully assembled selection of 'adorable' clothing from Belgium, England and Italy - along with a smattering of Bugaboo strollers and 'unique' furniture - awaits..." Zagat Survey, New York City Shopping, 2008.

"My first order arrived damaged. I immediately called the folks at Estella and they were WONDERFUL. I explained that I was ordering for a birthday gift and even though there was still plenty of time they must have overnighted the new package to me because it arrived the NEXT DAY! The woman was very pleasant and friendly on the phone too and the products are ADORABLE. Very pleased with the whole experience. Thanks so much Estella!" Estella Customer.

"When he's looking for inspiration, Mizrahi heads to Estella (493 Ave. of the Americas 212-255-3553), a children's clothing store in the West Village. 'It sounds totally random, I know, but I adore the incredible color sense. They never get too twee the way they do in other kids' stores--it's very eclectic and sophisticated in an exclusively New York way.'" Designer, Isaac Mizrahi, CNN.com.

"They were great, delivered as promised, very personal service, and they have great stuff!" Estella Customer.

“his husband and wife team of Chike and Jean operates this great shop. They go out of their way for those interested in special and unusual gifts for youngsters up to age six. Service is given with a smile, and they will even make house calls to deliver a present to a young loved one.” Gerry Frank, New York.

"Really nice clothing and it's not pricey either" Lilaguide.com.

"A training ground for tomorrow's trendsetters, this Greenwich Village gem garners praise from the fashion flock for its inspired selection of 'truly original children's clothing'and footwear with 'European flair' from a roster of under-the-radar labels you're unlikely to see elsewhere; the cherry on the sundae: strollers, highchairs, nursery furniture, baby shoes, diaper bags and imported toys and dolls." Zagat, New York City Shopping, 2009/10.

"Parents who find Baby Gap and Osh Kosh B’gosh too pedestrian for their little progeny visit Estella for its unique, high-end children's clothes. Showcasing styles from fashion-forward U.S. and European designers, husband-and-wife owners Chike Chukwulozie and Jean Polsky opened Estella to cater to tots with taster at least that of their parents and city-dwelling aunties and uncles. Most lines are from lesser-known labels and individual designers, easy for parents to mix and match; cashmere sweaters, satin party dresses, and wool pea coats are well-tailored and durable enough to withstand everyday playground and preschool stress. The carefully selected clothing offers depth without staggering volume; browsers won't feel that department-store overwhelm or the snootiness of an upscale boutique. Light wood panels and soft green walls contribute to the calming atmosphere." Jeanette Park, New York Magazine.

"These clothes are as gorgeous as they are expensive. There is an incredible selection that seems to change weekly instead of seasonally. Estella doesn't really know the art of a sale, so if you are going to purchase be prepared for some shocking prices." Insiderpages.com.

"Hand-smocked blouses, ruffled raspberry-colored dresses, Italian felted wool overalls." Vogue bambini.
