About Us

Crankypants started in 2004 when being a broke stay at home mama collided with the realization that there were very few options for people who loved the idea of longies but wanted something a bit funkier than what was being offered at the time. With lots of hard work and the amazing power of mama word of mouth, Crankypants has grown and expanded to carry gear for kids of all ages hand made by some of our favorite artists and designers.

Our most popular item remains the hand knit longies that we made our name with, with demand far surpassing our little fingers' ability to whip them out. Because of this, we are currently in the midst of developing a fair trade relationship with a knitting cooperative in Peru so we can meet this demand while keeping the longies hand knit by people who are making a living wage.

In addition to making Crankypants longies more readily available we would love to keep the growth going and start carrying a wider array of kids' gear. If you feel like your product would be a good fit with Crankypants, please feel free to submit it to us! Email us at: info@crankypantshome.com
