What’s in a Name?

Naming Season comes twice a year at Kitsch*n Glam. New Catalog+New Products=New Names.

You would think that just giving prints names wouldn’t be hard, but it can be.

We: live with swatches pinned to our bulletin boards, keep lists of ideas, scour the net for inspiration, have discussions and – we even ask people for suggestions.

Yet, sometimes we are stumped.

A name has to: fit the print’s personality, evoke feeling/emotion, be easy to spell/understand and most of all it just has to sound good! We actually do put quite a lot of thought into those names! A lot. Some come easily and others take more effort. Morel, Hawaiiana and Minerva were fairly easy. Lucky Bug was not. You would think a ladybug print would be a no-brainer! There’s really no telling. It just has to fit.

The new catalog – along with 5 new prints (and new bodystyles!) will be available next week. I can’t wait for everyone to see what we’ve been working on, so here’s just a peek! (You’ll just have to wait to find out their names!)

UPDATE: Say hello to Sugarcane, Ornamental, Sahara and Plume below.
