KOOKY SHOP

KOOKY IS COMING!

A pop-up shop featuring fabulous kidstuff

from Chicago’s own designers

We are twelve local designers and on October 24^th, we will be coming together to open Kooky, a children’s design “pop-up” shop in Chicago’s Wrigleyville. Featuring fun activities for kids and high quality products for shoppers, Kooky aims to capture the spirit of the season while showcasing some of Chicago’s best talent in kid’s designs. The store will be located at 3447 Southport Avenue and will be open from October 24th through December 24th.

While Chicago parents have a host of kids stores to choose from, KOOKY is a rare shop with true hometown cred. The shop is the brainchild of Chicago’s very own kid’s designers -- it is filled with their fabulous wares and run by the designers themselves.

Amongst the offerings …

·         covetable party dresses from Juja Bear

·         cool and iconic graphic tees from Pluto

·         ultra user-friendly diaper bags from m Bretts Totes

and much much more!  

The store will have a grand opening on Saturday, October 24^th with a Magic Show at 11am, and Kids Music on Sunday October 25^th at 1pm, and face painting at 2pm. More music, entertainment and Santa appearances will be scheduled.

PLEASE COME BY to shop and say hello – we are looking forward to meeting you!

YAY! KOOKY IS OPEN!

KOOKY had a GREAT opening day yesterday, October 24th. Lots and lots of folks from the neighborhood came in to check us out (and shop!) and today, with all of the trick or treating, we saw even bigger crowds.   And, of course, it was a perfectly beautiful autumn day.

We are extremely excited to be a part of this great neighborhood … and all the neighborhood parents (and aunts and uncles) seem equally happy to have us here.  They love the fun and colorful look of our store as well as the fact that we are a group of Chicago Kids Designers who, in a DIY spirit, are “putting on our own show”.  Of course, it was clear from all the shopping, that they very much like what we have to offer – unique and wonderful kids clothing, accessories, and more!  So many shoppers excitedly told us they’d be back, and we can’t wait to welcome them again.

We are so looking forward to the weeks to come!
