Our Story
Acme Baby Co. is a family-owned brand: the brainchild of a stir-crazy stay-at-home mom. Amy D'Acquisto started by making vintage-flair graphic apparel and distinctive gifts for babies, then it grew and grew (pun intended) to include children, adults, and a variety of fun accessories. Born in a garage and initially launched at the Oak Harbor Farmer's Market in 2001, Amy now creates memorable, giftable pieces for people with great taste who are drawn to nostalgic design, wit, and an occasional bit of weirdness.
Style
Although we use modern means of production and design, our collection is inspired by vintage books and ephemera, harkening to a time when when well-made garments were the rule and not the exception. We put a lot of love and care into creating cool things for little people and adults alike.
Substance
While our styles may be reminiscent of yesteryear, our company addresses contemporary concerns. Each of our garments are proudly assembled in the U.S.A. or through companies that have a strong commitment to eco-conscious, sustainable business practices. This means we work directly with garment manufacturers, supporting local industry and forming partnerships that ensure quality and efficiency. Sustainability is our passion and continues to be our focus.
