Just Kidding

Ittikid Clothing

There are some things from childhood that you hate to let go. Case in point: Memories of Marimekko prompted you to deck your halls with prints of poppies and giant pears.

But when it comes to kitting out your kid in the same playful spirit, you’re at a loss. Welcome Ittikid, a new online boutique stocking children’s clothing from those meccas of mod, Denmark and Sweden.

Founded by local mom Melanie Miller, Ittikid imports hard-to-find lines like Smafolk, Ej Sikke Lej, and Danefae. Bold, colorful, spirited: Your little ones will be a study in play even when sitting still.

Providing you with your own quiet moment of revelry.
