About Kidorable

In 1997, Kidorable sprung from the minds, hearts and efficiency apartment of Liping and Jonathan Domsky. They proclaimed, “The world needs someone to create children’s apparel and accessories that are both functional and fun. We can do that.”

And so Kidorable was conceived. Starting with lions and cats and bears, oh my, manifested as umbrellas and hangers, Kidorable generated enough sales during its first year to break even and plant fruitful Kidorable seeds throughout the land. The following year sales grew ten fold. Every year since, give or take, a new style and/or product line debuted. And every year, the world joyfully embraced more Kidorable delights, give or take, than the year before.

Children, it turns out, absolutely and unconditionally love Kidorable (almost as much as their parents and other children-loving grown-ups do.)

In its first three years, Kidorable grew from a hopeful startup to a thriving business with $2 million in sales. Ever since, Kidorable has continued to blossom, evolving into a flourishing global enterprise, contributing to the success of dozens of sales professionals and thousands of retailers, with sales projected to exceed $10 million by 2010.

Throughout its first decade, the key to Kidorable’s success has been growth. But not growth simply in the financial sense. For the ultimate Kidorable customers – kids – it’s all about growing imaginations. For Kidorable’s employees, it’s all about nurturing personal and professional growth. And for everyone touched by Kidorable, it’s about growing smiles. For Kidorable, growing larger is a natural and happy consequence of growing better, individual by individual.

Today Kidorable is a striking presence, not just in stores, but across the vast landscape of the children’s apparel and accessories industry. By encouraging personal and professional growth in the service of imagination and smiles, Kidorable’s own growth projections continue to soar.

My Review

OMG have you seen anything so darn adorable than the items above?  Their products are just amazing, the colors and designs are like no other that I have seen before.  They have several designs for boys and girls ranging from butterflies, dinosaurs, fireman, ladybug, mermaid, pirate, and many more.  You can get umbrella, rain coats, rain boots, backpacks, knit hats, knit gloves, knit scarves, towels, sun hats, embroidered shirts, hanger sets, and bookends.

As you can see from the pictures below, Thaddeus LOVES his new dinosaur rain coat, rain boots, and towel!

The rain coat is awesome, it is so much better than the ones you’d buy at the store.  It’s made like a coat (buttons down the middle) rather than being a pull over poncho type and the material is much thicker than his old rain coat.  The boots seem to be made of a more durable material also, and the souls are pretty darn thick!

The washing for these items are easy too, most of the items are washed in cold water on gentle so you can just toss them in with the rest of your delicate items and either hang dry, dry flat, or machine dry as required.  The rain boots and umbrella’s are spot cleaned in cold water.

Prices are reasonable for the quality of the items, but you do get what you pay for!
