Stork Opens in Crown Heights, Sells Local Designers

Spring is here and so is Stork, a new local clothing and gift store for children 6 and younger. Located just a few blocks north of the Franklin Avenue 4-train stop in Crown Heights, Stork’s mission is to provide families with clothing, shoes, and gifts that are affordable, high-quality, eclectic, and (almost always) designed by people who live nearby, says owner Eyana Carballo.

The store offers a wide range of prices (shirts run from $25-$38) and adheres to a simple aesthetic. “It’s for everyone, whether you just moved to Crown Heights or you’ve lived here with your family for years,” says Carballo, who struggled to find a children’s clothing store she liked upon moving to Brooklyn in 2008. “It’s clothing without letters and logos all over. It’s stand-out pieces that are as appropriate for Easter Sunday as they are for hanging out in the park.”
