iKippahs extends delivery of each personalized formal kippah to customers beyond its domestic market
NEW YORK, NY — iKippahs, a New York-based retailer of fashion-oriented kippahs, has begun shipping Personalized Formal kippah orders to customers in Canada and the United Kingdom. The change marks the first time the company has delivered its products outside the United States. Orders placed from addresses in both countries are now being accepted and fulfilled from the company’s operations in New York.
Cross-border online retail has expanded steadily in recent years. According to data from the United States Census Bureau, e-commerce accounted for roughly 16 percent of total U.S. retail sales in 2024, reflecting a sustained shift toward purchases made through online stores. Small and mid-sized specialty retailers have increasingly looked to international customers as shipping options and online storefront tools have become more widely available.
The expansion applies to the Personalized Formal kippah line, in which each piece is made to order with details chosen by the customer at the time of purchase. Until now, the company has limited deliveries of these orders to addresses in the United States. Customers in Canada and the United Kingdom can now place the same orders through the company’s existing online store.
The company said the decision followed repeated requests from families, synagogues and event organizers outside the United States who had asked about receiving custom orders for weddings, bar mitzvahs, bat mitzvahs and school occasions. Orders for these events are often placed weeks in advance, and the company is asking international customers to account for production and transit time when planning around a specific date. Domestic shipping arrangements for existing customers remain unchanged.
“We have received inquiries from Canada and the United Kingdom for years, and extending delivery of our Personalized Formal kippah orders to those countries is a direct response to that interest,” said Sarale Seewald, Co-Founder of iKippahs. “This is the first step beyond the United States for us, and we will review how it performs before considering additional countries.”
