New for 2011...

Excited to be launching some new kina products in the new year at Bubble London and Playtime New York tradeshows. Do stop by and see us if you are attending either of those shows.

We will post our new releases here following the shows and they will hit stores in time for Autumn/Fall 2011.

Hmmm, havnt posted in a while.
Just received this email...

"Hi

My children have worn your Sheepskin booties since day one.

My son is nearing 4 and I was wondering if you might be making

larger sizes ever?

Please let me know.

Thanks

Maren"

The answer... Maren, we are working on it. Love that your kids are growing with us.

Kina

Kina Kina Kina...

We recently spent some time on Waiheke Island - a great spot in the Hauraki Gulf in New Zealand not far (by boat) from Auckland. There is lots to do and lots to see and its also a great place to do absolutely nothing... Beautiful and inspiring and calm and busy all at once.

On our way to somewhere there we came across this kina - a backpackers lodge up on a hill.
Check it out some time...

Bubble London

Time to rug up warm for Bubble London this weekend! Kina will be there on our booth with sister brand Nui Organics - both debuting some great new styles from 2010 collections.

Bubble London is a trade only show at the Business Design Centre in Islington running Jan. 31 to Feb. 1. So do stop by if you can. If not, check back to the Kina and Nui websites in a few months to preview our 2010 collections...

Unfortunately Bubble New York was canceled this year but you will find us at ENK Children's club in New York in March with whats next for the US market.

Mothers Milk ... in French

Kina natural lambskin booties were recently featured in gorgeous French children's magazine MILK.

We love MILK - full of inspiring fashions, toys, trips, spaces and places.
Everybody needs milk.

Trunkshow at Wildflower Organics

Join us this Sunday October 18th from 12-3 as for a Nui Organics/Kina Collection Trunkshow at Wildflower Organics in Austin TX. Wildflower is an institution in Austin and we are proud to be asked to kick their week long celebration off with a trunkshow of our finest...





Plus 10% of the days sales will go towards the Austin Mothers Milk Bank.

The Mothers' Milk Bank at Austin is a non-profit organization to provide the life saving benefits of donor human milk to sick and fragile infants. It is the second largest milk bank in the US and one of the largest in the world. They spearheaded nutritional labeling for donor milk and have helped save the lives of over 7,000 babies since founding in 1999.
