Designer: Kara Whitten

Kara Whitten, the designer behind Kailo Chic, started out her career as a Chemical Engineer but quickly realized that she was far too creative for the engineering world. In 2005 Kara created her first handbag. Combined with her passion for sewing (acquired during her high school theatre costume work) and her engineering background ,a new business was born; Kailo Chic. Kara strives to bring color and pattern to the forefront of women's fashion accessories. She continues to combine her natural creativity and engineering practicality to merge fashion and function in all her handbag and accessory designs. Today Kara is branching out into other areas of fashion and now offers a wide range of designer pieces including shirts, handbags, jewelry, belts and headbands.
