Raising Kind has been a an active part of the small shop community for over three years offering boutique items that drop at least twice a month. Recently the shop has started offering exclusive designs in addition to the variety of boutique clothing options and children's accessories. This shop if geared toward the little babes with sizes available from 6 months to 5 years.
Owner, Allison, opened the shop with a desire to offer unique, adorable and affordable options for her own girls but her dreams grew to include a desire to offer the same to everyone with littles! Allison hopes to remind people who visit her shop of the important reasonability we as parents have in raising the next generation. It is our job to ensure we are raising kind natured humans so that the world our children are left with is a kind one rather than a hard, hate-filled world. She named her shop Raising Kind to help spread the importance of raising kind humans. In addition to using her shop as a platform to spread kindness Allison also hopes to inspire everyone, especially her daughters, to do something they love and give back to your local community.
Rasing Kind is different than other boutique shops in that Allison makes a point to stay on trend while still providing affordable options for her customers. As a shop owner she loves nothing more than seeing all the precious babes wearing their items from her catalog. Her joy and inspiration is fueled by seeing her customer spreading kindness around the world while representing her shop. Her favorite item from the wide variety of pieces she offers is the RK exclusive Affirmations Tee.
Located in beautiful Key West, Allison is doing her part to spread the love, kindness and sunshine through her shop Raising Kind. From curating the perfect catalog and creating exclusive designs to having her daughters help decorate outgoing packages, Allison does all that she can to ensure each customer feels the warmth of her kind nature, no matter their distance.
