The Kate Lord Collection, designed for women with an active lifestyle, has enjoyed double-digit growth since its debut in 2004. The success of the brand can be credited to the designers; they truly understand today’s active woman. The Kate Lord Collection offers an array of classic styles featuring soft cotton fabrics, along with new technical performance fabrics and bold, rich colors. In 2007, Kate Lord will offer more performance fabric polo shirts, more color options throughout the collection and a fashionable and functional outerwear collection that will complete any outfit.

Kate Lord Collection has introduced a new line of technical performance fabrics called KL CARE. The KL CARE collection features a combination of long lasting, rich, soft cotton polo shirts that look and perform great both on and off the course. Also new in the KL CARE collection are five stylish polo shirts and a pullover all featuring moisture wicking technology designed to keep you cool on hot days.

Gingham Print Full Button Shirt – This sporty shirt looks great on the course and off. Featuring a 100% cotton gingham pattern with button cuff teardrop openings, this shirt is available in four colors, including ocean.

“The Kate Lord Collection is doing extremely well because it represents a classic fit and style that includes great attention to detail,” stated Tracy Wilson, general manager Kate Lord. “The entire line is also designed to be very versatile, as the colors and styles can easily coordinate with other apparel groupings in the golf shop as well as in the active women’s closet. We are very excited about the 2007 collection with the addition of the KL CARE performance line and look forward to continued success.”

“I believe the market place has responded very well to our collection as we design our apparel to be ahead of the curve when it comes to trends, which improves sell-through and shelf life” added Bill Godden, director of apparel.
