I would not say I'm an expert, however I do run a small online business selling Kids Wear from Taiwan and Korea, And I was living in Australia for a number of years prior to moving here. Feel free to check out my site. www.mysunflowerseed.com
1. Some popular brands are Flo,FLo Mint,Tom's Morning, Estelle, Cottonbaby, Annika, Peach & Cream, Amber, Lesson, Mery Jane, Berry Berry. These are for ages 2-9
2. I would say those retailing at USD50-57 per piece would be considered high end. This is of course reflective of actual offline stores and not online prices. (which would be lower)
3.All the brands have their own unique flair, personally I love how avant-garde their fashions are especially in the area of kids fashion.
4. (2) neither important/not important. It really depends on each family's budget and attidtude towards shopping.
5.(2) Personally, I would purchase good quality items at high prices for special occassions but not for everyday wear
6. Yes I know of Pumpkin Patch.
7. It seems to be rather popular, I've not personally bought any of their items however I've come across their store in Singapore.
Well, good luck with your assignment :) hope this helped

Hi, I have a store in Colombia with exclusive designed sandals and clothing for kids. I have looked for suppliers in China but I do not really see anything special. Do you have any suggestion? Could be from China or Korea. Thanks.

I supply Kids Apparel, Hats and toys

I will be going over to Seoul in May 2012 to meet up with my supplier :)
Have been getting constant supplies from China factory who produce high quality Kid's Clothing and hats for Korea market.
I do wholesale my product so that I and order in bulk make it cost effective. You can view them on www.MumyAtHome.com and contact me if you are keen.I agreed with Stephanie that Pumkin Patch is pretty branded, at least in Singapore. I bought from them before and like their products :) However as a wholesaler and retailer myself, I find Korean stuff are much more worth it and their quality are usually better.
