Hiho Mountain Batik

If you’re looking for something that deviates from the typical kids clothing norm, head over to Hiho Batik. Batik is an artform you can use to decorate clothes, and the results are cute, cute, cute. The store has T-​shirts, tanks, shorts, undies, oneses, etc … even parties for kids so they can design their own shirts. They also have a Japanese toy section, which makes my heart melt. Warning: Even though a sales clerk assured me my new pink tank would be fine in the regular wash, it bled all over the other items it touched when I laundered it. While I was able to salvage most of the white suff with bleach, a few things bit the dust. But after a nice e-​mail to the owner explaining the situation, she offered to replace the tank. Just be sure to soak your stuff in salt before you toss it in with the rest of your dirties – no mater what the sales girl says! The prices are a little dramatic, but then again, who won’t lay down a little extra cash for their kid to look original?
