Karita's
210 N Cascade Street - Osceola, WI 54020
My sister Rita and I started Karita’s some years ago and at that time we were making mittens, purses and totes from reclaimed fabrics. We both have a strong belief in reusing materials and upcycling items to continue their use in other ways. Even the name, Karita’s is upcycled from our names Karen and Rita. Our clever mother created the name.
Eventually we decided we wanted to combine our love of vintage with our passion for reusing and restyling items and open our shop. Osceola was a perfect place to do that and Karita’s, A Curated Shoppe was born. After several months we added a ladies consignment area in our lower level. We wanted to contribute to extending the life of clothing and help in a small way in alleviating the waste that is created from fast fashion. We believe in supporting other small businesses and carry many locally sourced items. We both continue to search for new ways to be “green” and reuse, recycle and restyle.
After several years of having the shop and meeting what I (Karen) know will be lifelong friends, we decided to make Osceola our home. Being invested in the community in which Karita’s is in has made it just that much nicer.
We hope to continue to create “new” items from old, restyle found items and bring you wonderful vintage treasures as well as continuing to carry wonderful creations from local artisans.
