Small Business Saturday|| Kate & James



Do you know what I love about Instagram? You start looking at a picture of your friend's kid and then next thing you know you've stumbled upon the most adorable little shop and you spend the next 20 minutes browsing their fun and playful designs. You know NOT doing the dishes.

Katie Clark and Jayme Gibbs are the masterminds behind the adorable kids clothing shop, Kate & jAMES. Over the past 20 years Katie and Jayme have shared a love of fashion, design and kids. So when the opportunity presented itself in January 2014 to start a kids clothing line, they jumped right in.  Kate & jAMES officially launched in June 2014 and is based on the combined inspiration of "fun, creativity, adventure, and independence". Because they both love kids (Jayme has two kiddos, Lola and Wyatt, and Katie is currently expecting) they wanted their designs to be playful and fun for kids, but also appealing to adults. They hit the nail on the head with that one! 



Both Katie and Jayme believe their success so far has been largely due to the fact that they took their time creating their own designs and staying true to themselves. With so many small businesses nowadays, it's important to distinguish yourself and they have done that with flying colors. And can we talk about the "Kate & jAMES" logo that is printed on the shoulder area of all of their shirts? I've never seen it before but its extremely creative, and well I LOVE it!


Eight months in and Katie & Jayme are already looking to the future! They have a few fun ideas are in the works for their summer line and I'm SOO excited! I mean how adorable is Allison's "Lemons make Lemonade" tee? I can't wait to see what they come up with next!  

Their ultimate goal is to make every day fun, "we love what we do and we hope to continue to have the support of everyone who loves and wears Kate & jAMES tees!" From my interactions with Katie & Jayme, I can feel the love and passion they have for their company and giving their customers the best experience and products possible. That ladies and gentlemen is what I LOVE about shopping small. Kate & jAMES is offering each of you a 15% discount off of your order! Just use HERITAGE15 at checkout!
