Dis Und Dat

A little of this, a little of that

A bright little curiosity shop in Over-the-Rhine: bags in every color, sunglasses, plush animals, picture books, trading cards and small surprises.

The shop's front window: DIS UND DAT in bright letters stacked between two red hearts, with the street reflected in the glass — Look for the hearts on Liberty Street.

Willkommen! Step in off Liberty Street and take your time. There are bags to carry it all, sunglasses waiting to be tried on, a swing full of plush friends, a reading corner for small browsers, packs of cards to open, painted steins, pens that stare back, and penny candy for the walk home. Come in for one thing and leave with a little of dis und dat.

Our story

Dis Und Dat is a tribute to the owner’s family. Many items in the shop were chosen because they spark a special memory.

What we carry

A pufferfish came along for the ride.
Bags
Totes, clutches, clear chain purses and shiny belt bags in a riot of color. Big enough for a market run, bright enough to spot across the street.
Pick your shape, then pick your pink.
Sunglasses and newsboy caps
Cat-eyes, big squares and round frames in pink and black, plus newsboy caps to finish the look. Try on as many as you like.
The plush crew, hanging out on their swing.
Plush animals
Hedgehogs, penguins, capybaras and more, soft enough to squeeze and silly enough to name.
Who is inside? Only one way to find out.
Trading cards
Baseball and football card packs for collectors and the curious, with a trade or two waiting to happen.
Fiona says you've got this.
Children's books and toys
Picture books, puzzles, puppets and backpacks with faces, all shelved at small-person height.
Soft-serve that never melts.
Miniatures and penny candy
Tiny soft-serve cones and balloon dogs to clip on a bag or a key ring, plus sweets to share (or not).
Grüß Gott! The steins say hello.
Pottery and jewelry
Painted steins with tall lids, more pieces for the shelf, and pieces to wear. Easy to give, and harder to give away.
Hold on to your pen. He does.
Pens, notebooks and desk friends
Googly-eyed pens, fish pens, notebooks that look good enough to eat, and a frog or two to keep your desk company.
