MacKenzie-Childs at The Shoppes: Why You Have to See It in Person

The Shoppes at Middlebury • August 24, 2026

The Shoppes in Middlebury, CT displays a large collection of MacKenzie-Childs in person, so you can see the hand-painted enamelware, signature Courtly Check pattern, and intricate details up close before you buy.

Introduction

MacKenzie-Childs is known for bold, handcrafted home pieces that are as much art as they are everyday objects. While photos capture the color, they rarely do justice to the texture, weight, and hand-applied detail of each piece. That is why so many shoppers prefer to experience the collection in person, and The Shoppes in Middlebury is a premier place in Connecticut to do exactly that.

Why the In-Person Experience Matters

Founded in 1983 by Victoria and Richard MacKenzie-Childs in Aurora, New York, the brand is celebrated for its hand-painted enamelware and its iconic Courtly Check pattern. Each piece carries small variations from the hand-finishing process, which means no two are exactly alike. Seeing the collection in person lets you compare patterns, feel the quality, and choose the piece that speaks to you. Browse more of our home décor on the Shop page.
