Dallas, TX (1888PressRelease)
May 04, 2009 - In addition to her successful women’s clothing, handbag, and accessories label, local entrepreneur Katy Messersmith introduces girls’ T-shirts and tanks to the Katydid Collection brand this spring.
“My women’s tops have been such a big hit, that a matching children’s collection was a natural step,” says the 31-year old Texas native. “Whether a little girl wants to match her mom, or just stand out on the playground, these styles are perfect for fashion-savvy kids.”
The designs are a mini version of Katy’s wildly-popular women’s tattoo-inspired tees and tanks. The tops feature popular motifs – crosses, crowns, fleur-de-lis – embellished with clear and colorful crystals. Some styles also include punky phrases such as “Rock Angel” and “Rebel at Heart” in bold lettering across the front.
Currently, the collection has ten tees and five tanks for little girls’ size four to ten. Each cotton tee, which retails for $28 and up, is machine washable and made in the USA.
The collection is available online at http://www.katydidcollection.com, as well as local boutiques around the country.
About Katydid Collection:
After graduating from Texas A&M, Katy Messersmith planned to put her health major to use. But while volunteering at a women’s pre-natal clinic in Africa, her life took an unexpected turn – literally. Katy’s luggage never landed in Ghana, which left the Texas native with only the clothes on her back. Luckily, her innate business skills kicked in and she was soon collaborating with local seamstresses to create a new wardrobe from head to toe.
Today, the successful lifestyle brand – which humbly started in Katy’s spare bedroom – is a multi-million dollar business based in the heart of Dallas. It includes adult and children’s apparel, handbags and small accessories such as hats, belts and diaper bags.
The Katydid Collection focuses on clothing – T-shirts, tank tops, dresses – with a youthful edge thanks to body-hugging cuts, crystal embellishments, tattoo-inspired designs and trendy symbols such as crosses, crowns, skulls and fleur-de-lis. The label, which is primarily made in the USA, is sold in more than 10,000 boutiques nationwide.
