Kreatelier on Hope Street is a creative wonderland! See what’s new plus a chance to win!

In the midst of a winter filled with record-breaking amounts of snow that quickly transformed from slopes of glistening beauty to jagged piles of what I refer to as “visible pollution” it’s no wonder I find myself craving color. A wonderful place to find respite from stark surroundings is Kreatelier, a unique shop on Hope Street on Providence’s East Side. Just looking at the shop’s red exterior, bedecked with cheerful bunting, I am simultaneously soothed and energized.

Kreatelier was established in 2007 by friends Pernilla Frazier and Line Daems, who refer to their working partnership as “a ying-yang combination of creative chaos and carefully considered organization.”

Kreatelier’s ever-expanding signature product line, all made locally at the shop, includes quilts, storage cases, headbands, car organizers, reusable gift wraps and much more. Kreatelier also offers whimsical made-to-order window treatments and interior accents, and workshops for children and adults. Shelves are also stocked with items from other brands and local artists.

In Kidoinfo’s ongoing support of local business we offer a Top 5 of our Kreatelier favorites along with a chance to win (see details below)!
