Shrimp and Grits KIds

We are a family owned and run children's clothing company and have a fun and light hearted work atmosphere. We are primarily a direct sales and online business. Founder Megan Hewitt’s Story: I had my first child in the spring of 2005 and quickly learned about smocked clothing. I was dying to dress my little one in this sweet southern style, but doing so was financially impossible! I started looking for an alternative: “I’ll learn to smock!” I thought. I took one class, realized it would take me a year to make one dress and moved on. Always the crafty one, before becoming a stay at home mommy, I was an Elementary Art teacher, I started making my daughter dresses. This was fun but very time consuming, and I ended up spending as much on the patterns and cute material as I would have spent on a boutique dress. I realized moms need an alternative to high priced, adorable, hand smocked boutique clothing, so Shrimp and Grit Kids was born! I searched far and wide for a manufacturer that could deliver a high quality product and found a great match! Without the middle man, I can offer moms the same quality and cute factor as the boutiques at a fraction of the cost. Shrimp and Grits Kids started selling online in April of 2007 and immediately sought a larger market and began hosting trunk shows all over the South. We have grown now to over 900 shows per season, selling in over 25 states.
