Madonna Spends A Fortune on David's Winter Wardrobe  10/28/06

The Malawian baby boy Madonna hopes to adopt has gone from extreme poverty to European luxury in just three weeks - after the pop superstar spent a fortune on the tot's winter wardrobe.

The singer called trendy Los Angeles baby store Petit Tresor at the beginning of the week (beg23OCT06) and ordered the best cashmere winter clothes co-owner Nina Takesh had, from designers like CV and Larucci.

Takesh reveals, "She wanted very high-end, luxury winter products and items; very subtle European classic designs made of the finest materials and fabrics... It's the luxury of all luxuries."

But Madonna left the store boss puzzled when she asked for girls clothing

too: "She did pull both boy and girls items in that age range."

In total, the Material Girl spent almost $10,000 on baby clothes at Petit Tresor.

Takesh adds, "A lot of money was spent on just absolutely beautiful items, close to $10,000."

Just three weeks ago, little David Banda was still fighting pneumonia in a Malawi orphanage. Madonna and her husband Guy Ritchie have since taken charge of the boy at their London home, where they hope to prove they are suitable adoptive parents before officially becoming David's mum and dad in 18 months.
