‘the Grant’ knit necktie has been our most popular summer accessory for men, and for good reason. This tie – made at our programs in Lima, Peru – is now available in five unique colors. It is the perfect accessory for all those summer weddings you have lined up.
Each item is hand-signed by the woman who made it so be sure to THANK HER HERE to tell her how awesome her work is.
We have been long time fans of the Sasquatch Music Festival. Over the years our staff has attended to witness their consistently jaw-dropping lineup of musicians and last year we had a booth set up to tell the concert-goers all about Krochet Kids intl. For Sasquatch Music Festival 2013, we decided to take our relationship to the next level.
This year, attendees of the festival at the amazing Gorge Amphitheater will have a chance to purchase a one-of-a-kind KKi product. We collaborated with Sasquatch and chose two exclusive hats for this year’s event, complete with a custom woven label featuring (of course…) Sasquatch.
If you are heading to George, WA this weekend to partake in this year’s Sasquatch Music Festival be sure to keep an eye out for these collaborative hats. And ENJOY THE MUSIC!
As we continue to evolve our product assortment we are always thinking of ways to do so in unique and creative ways. We want to make it as easy as possible for you all to support our life-changing work through your purchases. This most recent collection has the greatest diversity of products we have ever had before, and every single item is fully constructed at our program locations in either Uganda or Peru!
‘the Davey’ is a great example of a fun, new product that is breaking the mold of our past collections. This knit beach bag is made at Krochet Kids Peru and is an essential for your summer getaways. Now you finally have a place to pack all your other gear from Krochet Kids intl. in one place and take off in style.
Our “Smallest” Collection Ever
We have listened to the many pleas from all you parents, aunts, grandmas, and friends who have wanted to clothe your children in Krochet Kids intl. goodies. We have expanded upon our limited collection we released during the holidays to include hats for newborns, booties, and new patterns.
Not only will these new products look amazing on your little ones, but there is something we are even more excited for as it relates to these crochet and knit hats for children. We are happy to help provide you the opportunity to start a conversation about empowerment, hope, and LOVE with the children you know. It is a special experience to go through the process of showing the signature and then searching for the lady who crafted your item online.
The sooner we expose our children to ways to help and to people and cultures different than ours, the better off our world will be. Join us in this movement to make purchases that change people’s lives, and bring your children along for the ride.
SEED People’s Market is one of Krochet Kids intl.’s beloved retailers and long-time supporters. They always go above and beyond in helping us share our message of empowerment and we were stoked to join with them for a special display for our Spring/Summer line. We had the pleasure of sitting down with two of Seed’s Manager’s, Mona and Bryan, and asking them a few questions. Check out their answers…
When did your store first open?
Seed opened in June 2009. Its goal was to provide an alternative shopping experience. The mantra is “products with a purpose”.
How did you first hear about Krochet Kids intl.?
Mona: Here at Seed, actually! I remember seeing it when I started working here. I fell in love with the products and then was caught by the story.
Why are you excited to be carrying our products?
I love that it empowers people in less fortunate countries- it gives them a chance to rise above their circumstances. Besides the fact that its such great product, the story behind the product is so impactful. Such a great thing to be a part of.
What is your favorite product from the Spring/Summer 2013 collection?
Bryan: The Amor beanie in grey – I wear mine all the time!
Mona: The iPad mini case- it was something suprising to see and they’re so cute and well made! Everyone was so stoked on them.
What sets your store apart from other retailers?
Mona: That fact that we’re so environmentally aware. The whole concept came about ten years ago and was way ahead of its time. Not everyone was on board, but we knew this was the way it needed to happen. Especially in the Costa Mesa area. Its all about where things are sourced from. The founder got shut down for a long time, but he pushed through until others saw his vision. Its awe-inspiring. Now every single thing we sell is either environmentally friendly, supports a cause, or is made by a local artisan.
What summer adventures do you have planned?
Bryan: Whale watching and deep sea fishing!
Mona: My personal adventure is getting to explore more of California. I came from Brooklyn and I’m still learning about all that California has to offer.
Do you have a message to share with the KKi retailer community?
Be open to every new idea! And support those presenting because you never know what they might turn into. It could be the next Krochet Kids! There is so much potential in everyone and we all need support. The domino effect that things like Krochet Kids intl. can have is incredible.
