LittleMissMatched is a lifestyle brand dedicated to inspiring creativity and individuality. The brand’s signature non-matching socks are sold in sets of three single socks to encourage self-expression through mixing and matching. LittleMissMatched has since expanded its innovative product offerings to include everything from books to bedding, PJs to pencil pouches and flip flops to furniture – each item with its own unique reinvention.

We’re thrilled to open our first permanent retail location at Disneyland Resort as Disney’s values are completely aligned with LittleMissMatched. Disneyland is synonymous with imagination and since LittleMissMatched revolves around encouraging creativity, this is an ideal location for LittleMissMatched’s flagship store.
