Never underestimate the unusual fetishes of the masses. Kidrobot, creator and retailer of limited edition toys for adults (no, not those kinds of toys) will open a Chicago-based pirate store Oct. 4.
Located at 1573 N. Milwaukee Ave. near the six-way intersection of Milwaukee/Damen/North avenues in the heart of Bucktown, the 1,100 square foot storefront sells vinyl art toys, apparel, jewelry, accessories and more. Take for instance the "smorkin labbit" by artist Frank Kozik. What a perfect $39.95 gift for that special person in your life who has just about everything except, well, a 10-inch, dark purple smorkin labbit?
Kidrobot operates stores in New York City, San Francisco, Los Angeles and Miami. The temporary Chicago store will be open through December – perfect timing for you to snazz up your holiday shopping with a unique flair.
