Belles & Beaus was created in April 2008 by Valerie Bergeron.  Her vision was to have a place for parents to shop that had great quality, affordable children's items along with new, boutique and gift items.  It was her vision to make Belles & Beaus a "One Stop Shop!" She wanted stay-at-home-moms and the like to be able to find all of the name brand children's labels in great condition at affordable prices.  In addition, having been a consigner before the acquisition of Belles & Beaus, she wanted a place where moms, grandparents and the like could consign and make money on items that children grow out of so fast!
