Labbrand Creates Chinese Name for Kids Clothing Brand The Children’s Place

SHANGHAI, 10 NOVEMBER 2016 – The Children’s Place, the largest specialty retailer of children’s apparel and accessories in North America, officially entered China by opening its online flagship store on Tmall, with its Chinese name created by Labbrand – 绮童堡 [qǐ tóng bǎo].

Founded in 1969, The Children’s Place designs, sells and licenses to sell fashionable, high-quality products under the brands “The Children’s Place”, “Place” and “Baby Place”. As of April 30, 2016, the Company had 1,064 stores worldwide, 110 international points of distribution open and operated by its 6 franchise partners in 16 countries.

Labbrand, the leading China-originated global brand consultancy, worked closely with The Children’s Place to create the Chinese brand name 绮童堡 [qǐ tóng bǎo]. 绮 [qǐ] refers to wonderful colors, while 童 [tóng] simply represents kids. The third and last character 堡 [bǎo], meaning “castle”, builds a nice linkage with “place”. Moreover, it is a connotation that is always welcomed by kids. Together, the three-syllable brand name is full of vivid colors and childlike emotions, as if it is a wonderful castle in fairy tale, conveying a colorful and graceful brand image.

“We believe the name 绮童堡 [qǐ tóng bǎo] will help The Children’s Place to build its leadership in kids wear industry despite the keen competition, bringing kids in China a happy, colorful and fashionable childhood,” states Judy Wang, Associate Creative Director of Labbrand.
