PS Kidswear

I was feeling like a bad mom. I hadn’t bought any Easter treats for my son, not nary a sight of fake plastic grass, pastel eggs or the like. Not a thing. To be fair he can’t really have any of that stuff anyway, but I was feeling like if there were a blog that featured moms that were not living by the Pinterest-​way-​of-​life, I’d have been on it
Then I ran into Purple Shop — snagged him the baddest, raddest rabbit shirt every created — hand stenciled and made with love by Owner Dot, the mistress of the coolest kidswear in Shoreditch.
A rabbit shirt! A soft white, cuddly tee-​shirt with a funny rabbit and a sign that says «Warning, I bite!» Which is both hysterical and ironic, as my child does bite (as a joke!) Ok, mostly.
So of course the shirt was darling (£15) — but really it was the service that stunned me. Dot was truly lovely herself, too. Engaging, sweet, talkative and funny… and super talented! I frankly almost forgot I was shopping in London (Shoreditch no less) and probably looked a bit stunned. Perhaps my skill of chit chat has withered all these days living in London, I am not sure. I so enjoyed my little stop in that I made a vow to return to check out the rest of the wares. I’m currently in search of a cute little girl to buy a Levi’s dress for — artfully crafted from pre-​loved Levi’s jeans into the cutest damn dresses you’d ever see, seriously.
Hipster kid stuff? Yep. Better than fake plastic grass, if I don’t say so myself. My little biter bunny didn’t really seem to care either way, but I like it!
