Hoboken mamas and papas {and almost-teens!}, this one’s for you:
Not your average children’s boutique, Hoboken Clique caters to the immense ‘tween’ population in Hoboken with customizable staple items and an assortment of fun finds. Owner Jamie Caulfield is a Hoboken mom herself and has brought a new parenting haven to uptown Hoboken. This colorful and customizable haven is located in uptown Hoboken, in the previous home of shop All Things Bell, at 1204 Washington Street.
After a friend found success in personalizing items in her business down the shore but wasn’t up for the back-and-forth required in opening a second location, Jamie decided to bring the business to northern Jersey herself – and Hoboken Clique was welcomed to uptown! Although Hoboken Clique is a recent addition to Mile Square city {its doors opened in November 2018}, the shop has already generated tons of excitement throughout the community.

The Lowdown on Hoboken Clique
Unlike other children’s boutiques in town, this unique store specializes in ‘tween’-wear {and for those not hip to the mama lingo, tween = young teenager, usually between 10-12 years old, and yes we may have googled that just to be sure}. The in-store assortment includes fun patterns, colors, and gizmos currently popular amongst ‘tweens {hand-picked by Jamie’s two girls themselves} as well as reliable brand names that parents will love, too. Brands include DL1961 denim, Living Royal patterned socks, Watchitude slap watches, and even locally-sourced favorites such as ME&EM For Good.
Sparkly + Customized
Aside from its curated collection, Hoboken Clique has a unique edge in creating fully-customizable clothing {and accessories} given the right material. There is a full catalog of rhinestones with letters and shapes with the perfect design open to the imagination.
Additionally, if you can’t find something you like in-store, Jamie is more than happy to custom order additional styles or accessories given a particular need. From matching BFF sweatshirts to camo sweatpants, sparkly robes, and sleepover bags, there is something for everyone and at every price point {and let’s be serious some of this stuff is SO cute and we kinda wish it came in adult sizing, le sigh}.
