Christine first opened the doors to CKW in 1998. Prior to founding CKW she worked at Petrie Corporation, a major retailer at the time, as a retail buyer. She eventually became a juniors and children's clothes designer and merchandiser. She loved the fast-paced fashion industry, but missed out on valuable time with her daughter, who at the time attended one of the schools serviced by CKW.
Now with her daughter Lauren by her side, she is able to create and modify uniform programs for many schools. Her favorite part of CKW is being a part of the community that has supported her and her daughter. It has been a honor for Christine to watch many students go from Pre-K to high school to college!

Unfortunately we purchased pants for our son they came in Teo different styles which was not specified when placed online order so assuming there was just one style CKW refused to get take back the style that we didn't like. I was told to give them away and donate them. So unfortunate. Be careful when purchasing pants and check on the style before you purchase. Online ordering should specific there's two types wider or skinny

CKW is run efficiently and everyone is so friendly! Makes back to school shopping a breeze, and dare I say, fun?! For those who wait until the end of summer (me, sheepishly) they have a lot of necessary items in stock and do their best to make something work and get you the rest as soon as they are able. One year my daughter had 3 different sized skirts, (some were from different vendors, etc), but they all worked! They work hard, know their products and the schools, and do their best to give us a good experience. I have always left their better off for working with them, even if I didn't

The uniforms are of high quality and meet the the school's regulations. Students get personal service and the sales staff spend as much time as needed and answered all questions. Actually, you don't really have much of a a choice because uniforms made of this type of cloth is not available and very many stores. Since it is a specialty store be prepared to pay high prices for things you could get elsewhere for a lot less. Finding a uniform for the first time may take a while and don't expect the staff to assist you with charging your phone or allow use of the bathroom during the long wait.

CKW has the highest quality uniforms and a level of customer service that is hard to find these days. I attended private school for 13 years and luckily, CKW was the uniform provider for both my middle school and my high school. The staff is absolutely amazing, extremely knowledgeable, and very professional. The owners are especially knowledgeable and always able to provide assistance on sizing suggestions.
Their store is pristine and organized. It is also beautifully decorated and well kept.
It is always an absolute pleasure to come in and see them! Thanks CKW!

CKW IS WAY BETTER THAN DENNIS UNIFORMS!! I have purchased uniforms from CKW for at least 8+ years. Every time I have gone into the shop, I have had positive experiences with the store employees and owners. They are quick to assist and help you with any questions you might have concerning the style of uniform you might need for your specific school! Their awesome knowledge and experience in getting me exactly what I need makes each visit an AWESOME one!

WOW. The customer service is spectacular here. They are very responsive and quick to answer my questions and phone calls. They have an awesome online ordering service, where you could have them ship your items to your home (with a fee of course) or free in store pickup! They are very quick with fulfilling their online orders, highly recommend! Uniforms are of great quality, I'm so happy they provide our school uniforms! Thumbs up.

Extremely disappointed with this uniform store! Our school has been with them the last 3 years and every year I've had an issue. This year the boys collared shirts are very narrow and very long. Which I'm now having to spend more money to have all 8 shirts hemmed. Ive already spent $27.90 plus tax per shirt and there response was "yes, many people are having them hemmed." I called 2 weeks ago spoke with an employee and said she'd relate the message to a manager/owner. No phone call yet!!

This has to be the best uniform shop around! The personal attention that was given to my daughter was top notch. For 8 years she attended schools that didn't require uniforms. CKW made her feel much more comfortable transitioning to uniforms. After 2 years of shopping at this shop, we are treated as family when we visit. And the service? Still top notch like the first time we visited! Except they now have all the sizes on file from previous purchases making it easier to get new sizes for a growing kid. They carry the best quality products which have held up well! Hoping my younger daughter's school

The ladies at CKW are the absolute best! They are friendly, helpful, and knowledgeable not only about the schools they serve, but also fit, style, and how to properly care for the uniforms. You can tell that the owners (Christine and Kathy) have experience in the world of retail. The service is excellent and they genuinely care about making the experience of purchasing school uniforms as stress-free as possible.

After attending private Catholic school for the past 14 years I have had my fair share of trips to CKW. All of these trips have been nothing less than excellence and always welcomed with many warm smiles. The store its self is spotless and extremely well kept. The customer service is remarkable all of the girls are extremely knowledgeable of the items needed for each school. I'll miss how easy having uniforms was next year while I am away at college but grateful for the 14 years I had.
I HIGHLY recommend CKW for all your uniform needs!!

CKW is contracted by several local private schools in the San Gabriel Valley and the quality of their uniforms explains why!
The ladies who work at CKW are warm, helpful and incredibly practical with their shopping recommendations. They offer tips for how many uniforms based on either budget or laundry routines which is very thoughtful.
Uniform skorts, skirts and rompers all lasted years and we're only replaced them when they were outgrown never because of them being worn out despite heavy usage. I prefer Lands End polos which are softer than those sold at CKW but I tend to get 1/2 from

This review is long overdue.
First off my daughter is a senior in high school an all-girls school, CKW has been providing us with uniforms for many years - starting from her grammar school all the way to high school. We are very pleased with the selection and the quality of the uniforms we've purchased from this place throughout the years. Some pieces have held the test of time through numerous wash and abuse from my daughter's everyday use. I absolutely recommend this place for school uniforms etc. not to mention all the ladies who work and run this place are very pleasant and

Always very helpful and will take the time to find the perfect size for your child. Every employee I've ever dealt with has always been very kind too. Recently went in to purchase a rain jacket and extra polo and skirt and found everything quickly. The rain jacket had to be ordered but it came back in less than a week.

I went into the store to purchase my sons school uniform everyone was very helpful, informative, and welcoming. They were patient and made sure I had everything I needed. Everyone within the store was willing to help and I felt comfortable asking for assistance when needed. I would highly recommend coming to this store with any of your uniform needs.

My daughter's high school switched uniform providers and I could not be happier. The previous company was in a WAREHOUSE and this company is SO much nicer. It really is marketed well and they offered fantastic customer service. The accurately gauged my daughter's sizes and we had five skirts and three formal shirts in a few minutes. They asked if we needed socks - we had been looking EVERYWHERE for knee high socks!!
We left happy with EVERYTHING that we needed for the school year. VERY happy that our high school has switched to this company!!!
