"  The Kardashian empire knows no bounds\u2014makeup, socks, clothes: They have their hands in it all. So it shouldn&amp;#039;t be too surprising that after two children, Kourtney Kardashian is spearheading Kardashian Kids, which debuted exclusively at Babies &amp;quot;R&amp;quot; Us on March 15th.  Kourtney has actually been involved in the babywear game for much longer than it might seem, having handled the buying at her grandmother&amp;#039;s La Jolla, CA, children&amp;#039;s boutique, Shannon &amp;amp;amp; Co., as a teenager. As the first of her sisters to become a mother, Kourtney brought up the idea for a kids&amp;#039; line and held design meetings out of her L.A. home, putting her previous buying experience to good use. She then looped in sisters Kim and Khloe for input, and it seems that with their experience as mothers and aunts, all three women have a great understanding of what makes a cute and practical kids&amp;#039; collection. Kardashian Kids&amp;#039; pieces are adorable\u2014patterned onesies, lace details, and, yes, lots of leopard\u2014and all go for under $29. Related: Kardashians Launching Kids Collection To celebrate the line&amp;#039;s debut, Kourtney hosted a tea party at NYC&amp;#039;s Soho House where she discussed the importance of comfy fabrics, gifting etiquette, and those controversial leather pants. On her refined tastes in fabric: &amp;quot;It&amp;#039;s all about the fabrics. The first thing I do when I&amp;#039;m shopping is touch everything to see if it&amp;#039;s itchy. I remember my mom used to put me in the itchiest clothes ever and I was traumatized by it, so I won&amp;#039;t wear anything itchy now.&amp;quot; Related: Kim Kardashian On Her Latest Kardashian Kollection, A New Baby Line, and Cutting That Dior On gift-giving and gift-getting etiquette: &amp;quot;I think some of the &amp;#039;wow&amp;#039; pieces are kind of fun for gift giving. I kind of mix it up, depending who I&amp;#039;m giving a gift to, but sometimes the more practical things like the onesies, the little blankets, and bibs with the matching hat, those are great gifts too. I know my mom always likes to give the over the top &amp;#039;wow&amp;#039; pieces at baby showers. I actually hate when people open my gifts, and I hate opening gifts in front of people. My dad made me practice on the way to my Sweet 16, like what to say. I would practice things like &amp;#039;Oh, this is amazing,&amp;#039; or &amp;#039;Oh my god, I love it.&amp;#039; I had to practice because I was so bad at getting gifts. It&amp;#039;s really annoying to open gifts in front of people, and then to see, like, what if they didn&amp;#039;t like it!&amp;quot; Related: The Kardashian Fashion Files On sharing clothes between children: I save a lot of things for unisex. There are a lot of pieces that I could see passing down [to Penelope]. Even Mason&amp;#039;s loafers, or his blazers, jean jackets. There are so many things\u2026jeans\u2026I cut all the jeans into jean shorts, and then either of them could wear it. I love when she wears his pajamas. I just think it&amp;#039;s more meaningful, and Mason loves it too. If I&amp;#039;m like, &amp;#039;Oh these were your pajamas!&amp;#039; He gets so excited. On dressing your child in leather: &amp;quot;We did a really soft, faux leather. I have a real leather motorcycle jacket for Penelope, and it&amp;#039;s so hard to get off and on, it&amp;#039;s so tight on her wrist, but it&amp;#039;s like, such a &amp;#039;wow&amp;#039; piece that a friend bought for me. Our faux leather leggings are actually really functional too. They&amp;#039;re half cotton, so they can still breathe, but they&amp;#039;re still fun, and I think that would be a &amp;#039;wow&amp;#039; piece as well, and they&amp;#039;re machine washable\u2014not like her real leather jacket.&amp;quot; On her style since motherhood: &amp;quot;I love a good pair of flat shoes. I mean, I kind of always did, but especially now it&amp;#039;s necessary. I love things that are easy to throw on, that I don&amp;#039;t have to think about. Like skinny jeans and a T-shirt is easy for me. There are certain things that I wear over and over, like a motorcycle jacket, that are just easy. Sunglasses are my new best friend\u2026even hats are just an easy thing if you don&amp;#039;t want to be seen. Just whatever is easy and comfortable.&amp;quot; On expanding: &amp;quot;I personally love boys clothes, because I find it way more challenging to find any cute boys clothes out there. Whenever I find something I get really excited because it is so hard to find, so I&amp;#039;d love to do boys next. And I think we would also love to carry the baby line a little bit older, maybe into toddlers. I&amp;#039;ve actually seen on Instagram people using some of the dresses as like, long tops, and some of the leggings, like they&amp;#039;ll wear them cropped, so I have seen older kids wearing it, but it would be nice to actually have it come in bigger sizes.&amp;quot; "^^<http://www.w3.org/2001/XMLSchema#string>
