Blabla L’Atelier

Super cool store in an off the beaten path area of little neighborhood. The staff was friendly and very helpful and they even reminded me about the Scoutmob deal which saved me $ 25! Great place for small children or baby gifts for your own kids or as a present for others. Great pick by Scoutmob and an AWESOME store!!!

In one word: adorable! The whimsical dolls are soft and snuggly – our favorites are Suzette the Fox and Clementine the Monkey. Their beautiful home goods (sheets, pillows, mobiles, etc.) add cheer to any child’s room or nursery. The dolls make cute baby shower or birthday gifts, and the mobiles also make beautiful baby shower gifts.
Also, the store is charming and bright, and the staff is always cheerful and helpful. Definitely a little bit of a hidden gem in Atlanta – although from what I see online, the line is gaining more popularity both nationally and internationally. You can shop on their website, but since I visit Atlanta often, l prefer stopping in and seeing all the new items. Whenever I have a baby shower to attend, I bring a Blabla doll and everyone oohs and ahhs. Definitely check this brand out!

Adorable, soft and colorful knitted dolls and pillows. However, I was in the store for at least 10 minutes before someone from the back came and acknowledged me and offered assistance. The prices on the merchandise are extremely high for what you get — since there is very little customer service.

Simply adorable store with an incredible array of handcrafted toys and clothing and décor for little ones. I must admit I don’t know if I am buying something for my kids or myself. I am smitten with the gorgeous hand knitted cute things. I am a crafter myself, so the prices don’t seem so high to me. I see the personal touch in each and every piece. What a treat to see so many of their products in one setting. And, I have also found some incredible pieces in their sales baskets!

I would give a 4 or even 5 for the beauty of the dolls, but the store deserves a 3 for inexistent customer service.
DO NOT ORDER ONLINE
I have ordered online for about 350 $ of dolls and I have been charged 415 $. I immediately complained, before the order was shipped and contacted them by all means with NO reply.
I received my package, and on top of that I am missing one large doll from my order.
So not only was I being overcharged and never refunded, but I did not receive my order. I contacted them many times over weeks, with NO reply. I am contacting my bank to cancel the transaction and return everything as this is so infuriating.
So if you find the dolls in a store, great. But do not order online, because if there is a mistake there is NO customer service, NO help, NO reply and NO refund.
Too bad, their designs are lovely and affordable.

Store/​staff are not overly welcoming. The hours are impossible for me to get there. But these dolls are amazing.
The mini-​BlaBla dolls are THE PERFECT gift for any baby boy or girl turning 1. I’ve purchased 5 – 6 of these dolls as gifts and each Mom raves about how soft the dolls are. They are ideal for snuggling with baby for years. And durable enough for the washer.
I find the store a bit intimidating, but I’m a huge fan of their website.

If I were rating this place solely on the items in store and the friendliness of the staff, I would give it 5 stars.
But… after finding out from a friend that she purchased an adorable doll here and deciding to check out this somewhat-​hidden little store, I was rather disheartened to see the prices. I understand that quality crafted pieces cost money. I just wish I could afford more of these items! Because they are adorable, colorful, and all-​around awesome.
I give 4 stars to the registry, because not only does a store owner walk you through the registry process, but you receive a $ 25 gift card each year near your child’s birthday until the child is 4 (the age the clothes go up to). Which will help me splurge on one of the cute sweaters or dolls for my little one. JoAnn was very prompt in mailing me a pdf of the items I registered for. I only wish I could register online… just because I do pretty much everything online.

Blabla features a beautiful line of baby/​child products like shirts, knit toys & mobiles and is a great place to find an unusual gift for someone. The service is what you would expect from any high end salon store and they are excellent at answering any questions.
However, it is extremely pricey (t-​shirts $ 19, dolls $ 50, Mobile $ 120). Our thought is that you buy things from Blabla that kids will not grow out of quickly and the quality of the products can more easily justify the price.
Five stars for design and construction, –1 star for high price.

It’s against my fundamental beliefs to drop this kind of cheddar on anything for kids that isn’t a life saving device.
But I’m weakened by the prospect of becoming a first time aunt and my beliefs were further shaken with a 40% scoutmob coupon. The lack of price tags on most all adorable objects didn’t help, either.
So now my unborn niece has a Peruvian handcrafted orange monkey and some non-​tacky, non-​pink tees that will fit her all of two weeks. I hope she loves the all natural fiber stuffing out of it.
