Inspiring Kids’ Tees from Peek
By Seattle Mag January 17, 2013
This article originally appeared in the February 2013 issue of Seattle magazine.
San Francisco–based Peek came onto Seattle’s retail radar in 2011 when it partnered with Nordstrom—a minority shareholder in the company—for a Peek store-within-a-store. By late 2012, there were two stand-alone Peeks, one in University Village and another in Bellevue Square (with select styles still available at Nordstrom), filled with stylish kid clothes and gifts. Our faves? The T-shirts, which offer confidence-inducing, intelligence-raising, creativity-inspiring words to live by from famous artists, such as Picasso, Matisse and Monet (from $34).
