Tiki Love

I love pretty much all things tiki. Tiki bars, tiki restaurants (Trader Vic's, come back to NYC please!), tiki accessories (think coconut purses and grass skirts), and Tiki, a shop for girls of all ages. Find Tiki at their usual spot in The Holiday Shops at Bryant Park along 42nd Street. And indulge in a little of this:

Ladies, that long dress on the left is gorgeous!
















One of the owners, Linda, at work producing these:












Made with washer/dryer friendly stretch velvet in Brooklyn, Tiki's clothes are happy, stylish, colorful and guess what? You can buy a similar, or even matching outfit for your doll! Ok, full disclosure, I have no dolls. A teddy bear, yes, dolls, no. But Tiki has clothing for women, girls, infants and dolls too. Can you imagine the joy at not just getting a cute outfit, but one that matches your favorite doll? Clever, Tiki, you're really keeping the spirit of the tiki going strong.

Doll Her Up

Visit Tiki for fun girl's clothes and pick up a gift for your daughter or niece. They won't find this clothing gift boring because not only are these comfortable stretch velvet dresses colorful and stylish, but they can be bought for her doll, too. Get matching dresses, tops, or pants (bell bottom or boot cut) for her and her favorite doll. And guess what, they fit American Girl dolls, too.

Dresses are $52, infant dresses are $40 (an infant set is $52), pants are $42-$45, and doll dresses are $20 (sets are $25). One of the designers, Linda Brady, always made her daughters clothing, and one day they demanded dresses for their dolls, too. Thus, the origins of Tiki and one-of-a-kind, handcrafted in Brooklyn clothing. Thanks girls!
