Kailo Chic started in February 2005. I had just graduated from UT with a degree in Chemical Engineering and was ready to start working. After the first week at my new post college job, I freaked out and quit. Not the smartest thing to do, but I was scared and couldn't imagine myself working in a lab for the next 40 years.

So, there I was fresh out of college, without a job, and without money. As luck would have it, I was also planning my wedding. Why luck you ask? Well, the day I went to the fabric store to find the pattern for my wedding dress (my grandmother was making my dress for me), I ended up finding a cool handbag pattern! So with the few bucks I had left, I purchased the pattern along with a little bit of fabric and went home to sew up some new bags.

Now, I was actively searching for a new job, but in the meantime, I was home all day with no money and needed some hobby to occupy my time. That is were the sewing began. With my little sewing machine I got as a high school graduation present, some scrap fabric, and that little handbag pattern, I started what would eventually become Kailo Chic.

In 2015 I began this here blog, A Kailo Chic Life, the lifestyle component to Kailo Chic all about DIY, Parties, and Home Decor and how to add color to your life. The blog has inspired me to branch out from creating just handbags and now I design and sell everything from wrapping paper and throw pillows, to cocktail shakers and flower vases. All with the signature colorful bold patterns Kailo Chic is known for! 

I'm Kara, lover of All things Bright & Colorful!
