To the Letter

Lit L Desi9s Custom Clothing

Sure, your kid can see “mom” in his enigmatic scribblings.

But since your decoder ring’s not working, try Lit L Desi9s’s custom-designed clothes. The New England designer takes words or kids’ names and uses the letters to design whimsical animals on shirts, pants, hoodies, baby gowns, and more.

Best part? Each piece comes in a bug catcher that’s ideal for storing the six-legged friends your little one is keeping in the cookie jar.

Which, you know, is even more puzzling.
