About Us
Kate Boggiano was founded in November 2006 by Chicago native Kate Coxworth. After graduating from Indiana University, Kate moved to New York City where she immersed herself in the fast-paced, world famous fashion industry. Kate always knew that one day she would take the experience and knowledge that she was receiving and apply it to her own company and brand. That day arrived in the fall of 2006 when Kate decided to take a leap and start Kate Boggiano. Ms. Coxworth said goodbye to the safety of a paycheck and resigned from the well known brand Polo Ralph Lauren. Kate left NYC and headed to familiar territory, Chicago, IL, and the unfamiliar experience of being a new designer and starting a new company.
Founded on the principles of high quality and great fitting clothes that are manufactured in the USA, Kate insisted that instead of trying to be a lifestyle brand from the beginning, the brand Kate Boggiano would become an expert in one area of fashion first and grow from there.
“Our women’s shirts, blouses and tops are among the highest quality on the market today and they will always be as long as I am here” says Kate. “We are not creating a trendy silhouette. We are creating a high quality garment that is flattering to the woman who wears it and will be a piece of clothing that she is as confident putting on today as she will be 1 year from today. Our prices might be a little more expensive than other brands on the market because we are using the highest quality materials, construction, and USA production ensuring that when you buy a Kate Boggiano blouse, you are buying an item of clothing that will be a part of your wardrobe for years to come. This is very important to us and will be for the women who buy this brand” Kate offers.
USA production is also at the forefront of the long anticipated launch of Create Your Own blouse. Create Your Own blouse allows you to log on to the Kate Boggiano website and choose options from the fabric, all the way down to which button you would like on your one of a kind Kate Boggiano blouse. From there, you decide if you would like standard measurements or if you prefer a truly customized blouse through entering your specific measurements. If custom measurements are desired, you follow an easy to use measurement section complete with photos of exactly where to measure on the body and that’s it. This truly custom blouse will then be created to your specifications and sent to you in 10 business days. This fast turn around time is possible because the blouse is manufactured in the United States. “We are thrilled to be able to accomplish this” says Kate. “For years, a hot topic in the fashion industry has been how to accomplish a shorter supply chain. Isn’t it simple? Make it in the USA not in China! Not only is it manufactured faster, but the quality is so much better it was never even a question for us.”
