I Didn’t Want to Reopen…But This Week at KITI Changed Everything

Coming back in September after a long break in the US was a mix of feelings. I put off ordering new stock until the last minute, and the thought of packing up the old products, cleaning, building new fixtures, and reorganizing can feel overwhelming. Honestly, I loved the break—I needed it—but stepping back into the work is always a bit daunting.

Then the deliveries started arriving. Each package I opened felt like uncovering a little bit of magic. Slowly, day by day, shelf by shelf, everything began to take shape. The new products found their spots, the displays started to feel just right, and the store slowly came back to life.

But what really made it all worth it is the warm welcome I got from neighbors and clients. Seeing your eyes light up when you discover a piece you love, hearing the “Everything is so cute!”—those moments remind me why I do what I do. The treasures I curate aren’t just products; they’re small joys that people take home, and that connection is priceless.

Every time I see a smile or a little sparkle of excitement, I remember that the work is all worth it. There’s something so rewarding about helping someone find a gift or sweet accessory that makes their day a little brighter.

If you haven’t stopped by lately, come see what I’ve unpacked and arranged. From unique gifts to one-of-a-kind home décor, there’s always something to spark joy here in KITI, right in the heart of Madrid’s Conde Duque neighborhood.
