Kitson Kids About to Become Orphans

Kitson KidsFor only one payment of $74,080.38, you too could make a difference in the lives of rich, pampered children in Los Angeles.

Kitson Kids -- which has been putting clothes on the backs of L.A.'s elite for years -- is being sued for falling way behind on rent (re: first paragraph).

K.K. has three days to pay their rent before big scary men with eviction documents toss them out onto the diamond encrusted asphalt of Robertson Blvd.

UPDATE 6/18: Deckers Outdoor Corp. has dismissed their lawsuit against Kitson and released a statement saying, "The lawsuit against Kitson was inadvertent ... The Kitson account remains in good standing."

UPDATE: A second lawsuit was just filed against Kitson by a company called Deckers Outdoor Corp., claiming they haven't been paid $35,177.86 for services rendered.

A rep for Kitson just released statements addressing both lawsuits:

"Regarding Kitson Kids we are in a dispute with the building because they refuse to build a stroller accessible ramp for parents and their children....

They are putting children in danger on a daily basis since parents have to take the children up stairs instead of using a child-safe stroller ramp. This is why we feel the need to battle against the building as we fight for a child-safe ramp to be built.

Regarding the lawsuit against Kitson from Deckers Outdoor Corporation (a public company) who is the Manufacturer of Ugg Boots is untrue. Kitson has received no lawsuit from Deckers at this time. Kitson has recently received its confirmations for winter orders from Deckers, which is in an excess of $200,000. Brands do not confirm orders with companies that have outstanding invoices due, let alone lawsuits pending.

1. Didn't Britney use to spend vast sums of money at Kitson's? Too bad she's in the midst of her lackluster Circus Tour in Great Britain or she could come to their rescue. Instead of attempting to be a decent mother, she tries to buy the kids' affection. But to Kitson's, it wouldn't matter.

8. This is just the beginning. The rent is not being paid at the Americana store in Glendale either. Fraser Ross has over-extended himself and the brand is dying on the vine.

9. Why would Kitson Kids have TWO kids' stores within 25 yards of each other? Maybe they're trying to blame the landlord for their bad business decision -- and the down economy.

10. Guess the rich are not spending either.

11. Um, why would a children's store even open up at a location that isn't stroller friendly in the first place?

12. Stroller friendly ? wtf that dump has been overcharging people there for years. It sounds like, to any intelligent person that they are trying to spin a story. Goodbye Fraser Ross you fat gay queen, Robertson won't be missing you and your temper.
