It all begins with an idea.

Ileane Meltzer is an acclaimed TV and film costume designer, best known for her work on the hit show MONK. With a career spanning over three decades, Ileane has built a reputation for creating memorable, character-defining looks on screen. Now, she’s bringing her expert eye for design and love for family to a new endeavor: Coco’s Kids.

Coco’s Kids is a one-of-a-kind children’s clothing brand, designed to take little ones from bed to beach with ease and style. Every piece is handcrafted by Ileane in her New York City studio, where she infuses each creation with the same attention to detail and artistry she honed in her costume work. The result is a line of clothing that is as comfortable as it is charming—perfect for the everyday adventures of childhood.

As a single mother who adopted her child later in life, Ileane’s world revolves around family. Surrounded by dozens of nieces, nephews, and godchildren, she is constantly inspired by the joy and energy they bring to life. Designing for them has become a labor of love, and it’s this personal touch that sets Coco’s Kids apart.

Whether it's bedtime, playtime, or a day at the beach, Coco’s Kids offers pieces that children and parents alike will cherish for years to come.
