Kama Kazi owners Debra and Fred Antwi recently did the retail shuffle with their style boutique. They hopped the original concept shop a block east on Queen West and replaced the original location with Kama Kazi Kids, a must-stop trendy outfitter for the Trinity Bellwoods stroller set.
The kids’ store is loaded with cutsey clothing, and Mish Mish zip sweaters and Small Paul monkey-print T-shirts bump up their “awww” factor with quality construction and unique design details that guarantee a long hand-me-down life. Baby sizes range from 0 to 24 months, and kids’ sizes from 2 to 12.
At the new Kama Kazi location, moms and dads can coo over adult togs including Trovata‘s whimsically detailed blazers, Y3 sneaks and outerwear, statement pieces from Christian Lacroix and Save the Queen and staple coats and trousers by the in-house Kobe by Kama Kazi label.
