ByKVP: What I’m Wearing

My dearest friend & business partner Kelsey Van Patten finally started her own clothing line, By KVP.

Yes, she conquered fashion meets workwear at Roamers & continues to put the flare in Imperfects by Mike Lynch… there’s nothing better than her “cozy from the couch to cocktail hour” line that launched in the midst of the pandemic of 2020.

Each silhouette was designed & inspired by a riff off her personal style. Have you ever met KVP? She is 5 foot nothing & draped in more fabric, fashionable baggy vintage with the most fabulous shoes you’ve ever seen.

Her newest collection includes: the wrap pant, elastic waist band short, kimono (otherwise known as robe to be politically correct & non-offensive toJapanese culture) and 1-piece wrap romper. Did I mention that the mushroom, garlic, California poppy art she did herself?

Each item is made from a large order of soft stone-washed linen from China, it is non-toxic & linen is sustainable by nature. Every item is individually cut & sewn in Tijuana by a small seamstress named Sandra (who only creates 5 pieces made-to-order at a time). KVP drives to & from Tijuana herself in her little Subaru. This company is the definition of slow-fashion & boutique.

If you want to feel fabulous, while also getting away with wearing pajamas all day — this is your line.
