Prints Charming
May 20, 2008; 5:21 am by UrbanBaby
Sister Parish would be proud of your prints prowess, from the chinoiserie in the guest bath to the Pucci on your headscarf.
Prints are all the rage in Ittikid, a collection of children’s clothes imported from Denmark and Sweden. Started by a Danish-born designer based in NoCal, the site features a smattering of utterly charming duds bedecked with cows, cars, curly-tail cats and circus creatures. Surely no one else in the ‘hood will have these leggings and long-sleeved tees dreamed up by unusual brands overseas.
At least, not yet.

Stylish ittikid began after owner Melanie Miller fell in love with a Scandinavian shirt that wasn’t available in the U.S. Searching high and low for the simple shirt, Miller, a native of Denmark, came across several intriguing Scandinavian brands for children and even adults. In 2007 ittikid was launched, an online boutique featuring stylish clothes, décor, and accessories hand-selected by Miller from Denmark and Sweden.
The former owner and creator of the popular Yolk design store in Silver Lake, CA, Miller draws from her design background and hip fashion sense when selecting the finest looks for ittikid. Miller sold Yolk in early 2007 to relocate to Northern California in order to be closer to family and try her hand at country living with husband Hus and son Oliver.
Ittikid’s high-quality, gender neutral and colorful play clothes feature fun prints ranging from green hippos, red apples, pink elephants, tractors, Vikings, and more. Mid to high-priced and super high quality, ittikid offers infant clothing from 50 cm (preemie/newborn) up to 2 years in most cases. Eye-catching onesies are typically priced at $30 and rompers at $39. T-shirts, dresses and pants generally start at 1 year and go up to at least 5 or 6 years, with larger sizes being introduced in some styles.
ittikid offers selections from these brands:
Plastisock: a Swedish clothing collection of colorful patterned pieces suited for both boys and girls.
Smafolk: a Danish collection of whimsical, vibrantly colored graphic pieces with a modern yet silly vibe.
Ej Sikke Lej: a Danish collection of t-shirts, dresses, trousers, and more featuring fun animal prints.
Danefae: a Danish collection featuring their best-selling, playful Viking prints on onesies, t-shirts and more.
Catering to design-savvy, hip parents from Los Angeles to Brooklyn, ittikid is a great one-stop shop for mixing and matching wild patterns and prints. In addition to clothing, ittikid offers stylish kid totes, back packs, bibs, hats, and blankets, as well as décor, including brightly patterned curtains and animal mobiles.

Hollywood’s recent baby boom means a new crop of Livie & Luca fans—from Jennifer Lopez’s twins Max and Emme to Christina Aguilera’s son Max. The whimsical yet classic Livie & Luca shoe designs are the talk of the playground, featuring sweet apples, octopi, elephants, and more. Livie & Luca’s shoes are a fashionable and practical choice, retailing for $37.50 for sizes 4-9 and $45.50 for big kids sizes 10-12 at www.livieandluca.com.
Celebrity favorites:
- Jennifer Lopez’s son Max has a pair of the Paulos in Racer Blue, while daughter Emme has the tasseled Nelas in magenta
- Christina Aguilera’s son Max has the Emilio shoes in Carmel & Taupe
- Nicole Richie’s daughter Harlow has the tasseled Nelas in Orange
A few unique features of Livie & Luca shoes:
- Kid Comfort: Made from the softest leather, Livie & Luca shoes are breathable and comfortable
- Earth Friendly: Livie & Luca takes steps to minimize their carbon footprint, using reusable cloth bags instead of shoe boxes, using recyclable leather (that would otherwise be discarded), and non-benzene glue—the safest and most environmentally friendly glue
- Cutting Edge: The soles of Livie & Luca shoes are mimicked after Astroturf, and the shoes are lightweight (less than 1/3 lb.) yet robust—and super flexible
The best part? Every month Livie & Luca choose a special charity to give back to. For the month of August, Livie & Luca will donate 10 percent of every shoe sale to the Make It Right Foundation, Brad Pitt’s charity to rebuild New Orleans’ Lower Ninth Ward after Hurricane Katrina. To learn more, visit www.makeitrightnola.org. Daughter Shiloh Jolie-Pitt is already a fan of the Livie & Luca elephants shoes.
