Koh’s Kids on Greenwich has closed
Koh’s Kids, the children’s clothing store founded by Grace Koh in 1995 on Greenwich and Chambers, has closed permanently. It’s the end of an era. And after a morning talking to the sisters at Greenwich St. Jewelers (more on their 50th anniversary soon), it gave me a real pang to think of the sunset of the mom-and-pop here in the neighborhood. Thanks to N. for spotting the sign in the window, below.
Grace, who lived upstairs and once insisted on repairing a crocheted poncho I had had for decades, retired in 2015. She sold it to Jared Levine of Jamari International, an importer/distributor of various high-end children’s fashion brands. (I am forgetting the name of her saleswoman, below, but she was the loveliest.)
That leaves Babesta on Warren; My Little Sunshine on Hudson and Hubert; The Little on Greenwich and Beach; and Naturino for shoes, which just moved around the corner to Chambers.
Baby Cottons just closed, and Jacadi and Livly closed in 2025; and Polarn O. Pyret closed in 2021.

This is a real shame. They had wonderful clothes and bought my daughter’s favorite clothes there when she was a child. And of course all her birthday cakes were from Madeline on Duane Street. The small stores are almost all gone.
Before Koh that store was Kai’s Kids (if I’m not mistaken). She had a beautiful selection of kids’ clothing, including sweaters that she designed and knit herself.
Truly sad. Got our son’s first “Tribeca Cool Kids” clothes there 15 years ago (on sale!) and they couldn’t have been more kind over the following years. Never pushy, always helpful to find the right fit and never with an agenda like most stores (hey – the full price stuff is waay nicer ;) )
Gee Whiz, Frankly, and now Koh’s. What’s next — Mudville? Young parents are toast today.
Will be missed for sure.
