Thank you for taking time to stop in and find out more about Louie Blue! I’m guessing you're curious about what the name means, who owns this company, and how this idea formed to create graphics in the four seasonal colors.

It all started when I was on vacation. All I wanted was to find a new sweatshirt in the colors from my season - Autumn. That goal was a complete failure, so as a designer, I began to create a graphic on my laptop. I shared with a few girlfriends who have had their colors done and the idea took root. This is something that other women want, too!

The next step was to find a friend who understood the seasons concept, liked wearing graphic tees, and was ready to jump onboard with me. Keep reading to learn more about my partner and dear friend, Laine.

Meet Laine

Hi. When my oldest daughter and I had our colors done, I originally thought it would be just a nice mother/daughter experience. While all that was true, I realized that wearing the right colors can really make a difference. When I started getting compliments such as "That color looks really good on you," or "that's a great outfit", I realized I wanted to slowly rebuild my wardrobe to align with my Spring season.

Much like Lori, I struggled finding graphic tees and sweatshirts that I liked that had my colors in the design and the shirt color. Whether I'm running errands in jeans or grabbing a blazer and gold jewelry to dress up my outfit for a night out, having a collection of quality tees and sweatshirts that will hold up wash after wash was important to me. 

Louie Blue closes the gap by giving you great designs for EVERY season! We look forward to expanding our collection and hearing what styles you like to wear.
