Our Story

It all started with a family retreat in coastal Maine. We designed Camp Pearlstein caps and t-shirts, a nod to shared pastimes, inside jokes, and a classic camp aesthetic. A simple idea, perfectly executed. The response from friends was overwhelming, and we knew we'd hit upon something special.

KIN KIT exists to create beautiful custom merch without the compromise. Iconic design, exceptional quality, and a timeless aesthetic that outlasts the occasion. We're not a printing company with a design tool, we're a creative team with a point of view, building pieces that celebrate the moments and traditions that matter most.

This is a true passion project for us. Each design is handcrafted, each email comes from a real person, and we fulfill each order through our partners in West Virginia.

We're also proud members of 1% for the Planet, committing one percent of all our sales to vetted environmental causes. Making more things in the world comes with a responsibility, and we take that seriously.

Why the cherries?

Our signature cherries are inspired by the classic iconography of vintage Americana. They stand for the people who wear KIN KIT together, whether that's a family, a camp cabin, or a group of old friends. You'll find the mark woven into every piece we make.
