Nix nux means ‘spirited child’ in the Pennsylvania Dutch language and our fun pieces celebrate the adventurous, rambunctious nature of little kids just as our ancestors did. Our designs reimagine motifs from Pennsylvania Dutch art and folklore. Each pattern begins as a handcarved block, as a nod to our culture’s handcrafting of goods. Our fun and folksy wares also do good! All of our material is 100% organic cotton and ethically produced in the U.S.A. 2% of all sales go to the Kutztown Folk Festival, which is the oldest continuously operated folklife festival in America.
