Ooh La La Couture

What Ooh La La Couture does

Ooh! La, La! Couture is a privately-held children's fashion brand founded in 2004 by two childhood friends and headquartered in Port Jefferson, New York. The company designs and produces girls' tutu dresses and apparel distinguished by proprietary combinations of comfortable knits, exclusive prints, Swarovski crystals, and decorative trims, offered in sizes ranging from newborn through 14. The brand has cultivated a niche positioning around red-carpet children's wear for "young Hollywood" while also serving everyday special-occasion needs (birthday parties, playgrounds, family events).

The company operates an exclusively wholesale B2B distribution model, with no direct-to-consumer sales channel. Retail access is facilitated through three primary routes: regional sales representatives (notably Jody Faro operating Lively Kidz Showroom in Florida, and Shayna Masino with showrooms at California Market Center and Fashion Center Dallas), market show attendance, and a Uphance-powered online wholesale portal. Consumer-facing marketing is conducted organically via Instagram (@oohlalacouture123) and TikTok (@oohlalacouture), with user-generated content campaigns offering free dresses to tagged customers.

Revenue is generated entirely through wholesale orders from retail boutiques and department stores nationwide. The operating footprint is minimal: a P.O. Box mailing address, a small team evidenced by two named contacts (Ann Dugourd and Jennifer Rotunno), and reliance on standard WordPress for consumer web plus the third-party Uphance SaaS for B2B ordering. No funding rounds, parent company, subsidiaries, headcount disclosures, or technology patents are recorded.
