 Butterfly Kisses Private Collection Announces the Creation of a New Line of Reversible Coordinated Separates for Girls

(Toms River, NJ; May 7, 2003) Reversible Means Versatile…and Value! This Mix and Match Collection Can be Creatively Combined to Fashion an Almost Endless Wardrobe of Outfits for Infants and Toddlers

Emerging children's wear designer Patty Baiano, announces the creation of a fun new line of infant and toddler apparel in sizes 12m-4T. Butterfly Kisses PRIVATE COLLECTION is a fresh new concept in children's boutique clothing offering lines of reversible, coordinated separates that can be mixed and matched to create entire wardrobes from just a few pieces. The spring '04 collection will debut to boutiques on August 1, 2003 and can be previewed on the designer's website at www.ButterflyKisses.net.

What makes this line so much fun for kids and such a great value for adults is the fact that most pieces can be reversed to create totally different looks. Three pieces from a collection can be combined to create over ten different outfits, that's a great way to stretch a dollar. Even the accessories are versatile and can be tailored to create different looks. A straw hat with a coordinating band and silk flower can also be worn as just a headband with or without the flower, or as a simple flower barrette.

Butterfly Kisses PRIVATE COLLECTION designer Patty Baiano entered the children's wear industry two years ago by creating custom made sweaters, dresses, and accessories for her daughter, Ariel. "Wherever I would take my daughter, people would stop me to ask where I bought her clothes," says Patty. "People would comment that they were most attracted to the quality of fabric and the original combination of styles and prints. Everyone also loved the fact that the garments were reversible. It's like having an emergency clean outfit with you all the time."

Patty graduated from the School of Visual Arts in NYC in 1987 with a degree in Illustration but her love has always been with clothing design. The pride that this designer takes in her clothing line is what makes it so special. "I design each and every piece in my collections from concept to finished product," says Patty. "I draw all sketches, choose all fabrics, make all patterns and sew all samples. I think in these tense political times consumers really like knowing that they are supporting true Made in America products."

Butterfly Kisses collections are characterized by classic shabby-chic and vintage European flair prints. Pieces have simple lines and a reversible, mix-and-match versatility that appeals to both children and adults. There are six pieces in the debut spring '04 collection with two color palettes to choose from. The lines also include additional coordinating accessories such as hats, headscarves, and hair bands. Butterfly Kisses will be sold exclusively in select boutiques across the US and retail prices will range from $8 - $89.
