About &JAMES

Founded in 2014 by Jessica Harris, &JAMES began as a small children’s boutique in the heart of Katonah and has since grown into one of the area’s most beloved destinations for timeless children’s style and thoughtful gifting.

Named for Jessica’s youngest son, James, the store was inspired by her years as a children’s wear buyer for Ralph Lauren, where her travels to Europe sparked a love of the craftsmanship and attention to detail found in small neighborhood shops. When she set out to bring that same sense of charm and quality home to Westchester, &JAMES was born.

What started as a passion project (her “fourth child,” as she likes to say) has evolved into an award-winning boutique, proudly recognized as a Best of Westchester winner. Today, &JAMES serves families across Westchester, Fairfield County, NYC and beyond, offering a curated mix of classic and contemporary clothing and accessories for babies, boys, and girls - from newborns to tweens.

Known for its personalized monogramming, signature gift wrapping, and exceptional in-store experience, &JAMES has become part of the fabric of Katonah life — a place where grandparents, parents, and friends alike find something special for every occasion.

Whether you’re welcoming a new arrival, celebrating a milestone, or simply looking for something lovely, &JAMES brings heart, style, and a personal touch to every gift.
