What does Il Gufo mean?

Il gufo is Italian for the owl. Founder Giovanna Miletti sewed bibs and sheets at night to keep up with orders when she started in Asolo in 1980, and the owl, the bird that works after dark, became her nickname and then the name of the brand.

Which ages does Il Gufo make clothes for?

A baby line from 1 to 36 months and girls' and boys' lines from 2 to 16 years. At Paul Zeist the girls' pieces are in Il Gufo Girls, the boys' and baby pieces on this page; the sizes in stock are on each product page.

Does Il Gufo fit true to size?

Yes, the sizes follow age and height: 2 years for about 86 cm, 16 years for about 168 cm, by the brand's own chart. The dresses and blazers are cut regular; order the usual age size, or one up for a tall child. The Il Gufo kids size guide has the measurements per size.

Where is Il Gufo made?

Il Gufo is designed in Asolo, in the Veneto, where the company has been based since 1980. The country of manufacture is on the label of each piece; the cotton sweater we checked was made in Bulgaria. The composition is on the product page.

How much is an Il Gufo dress?
