Let's Get Cozy

Our home decor line is up and running! Let's get cozy with these two pillows.


Pillow Idgie is exhausted from her run around America. She's traveled from DC to Alaska and is happy to be home. If you missed her adventures, you can still catch them HERE.

This Victorian Chair Pillow will remind you to Sit. Take a breather. Sitting idly is not only reserved for the Victorian era.

It's been a true collaboration between the Katherines, as I created the digital illustrations and handed them off to KWang, who turned them into pillows with her sewing prowess.


Thanks to the real life Idgie for modeling, and to her owner Tien for letting us shoot in her awesome kitchen.

Art Deco Jewelry


We're baaaack. Our shop is now OPEN. We've been hibernating for too long and its time to share our new line. First off is a winter collection of jewelry inspired by the geometric style of the Art Deco movement. This collection was made for the career gal in mind. Your cubicle may be stuffy, but your jewelry doesn't have to be. These necklaces are light and delicate, lazer-cut on birch wood and fastened with a brass chain.









New Stuff!

Big news! Not only is GlamKat back we're also moving forward with our brand-new home decor line. Check our Etsy store soon for the goodies (also perfect as holiday gifts). And KChiu has released line of custom jewelry for the career woman. We're keep you posted as soon as our store is updated!

On the Road

Our unofficial GlamKat mascot Idgie, the foxy dog, is currently traveling up Route 66 and hitting up the iconic (and not so iconic) landmarks of this great nation. She's going to space, rolling with bandits in Missouri and making a splash in Oklahoma. Follow her journey at http://idgieacrossamerica.tumblr.com/ to see where she shows up next!

Patchwork Festival

This past weekend, GlamKat was feeling crafty and headed out to the Patchwork Indie Arts and Crafts Festival in Long Beach. We helped celebrate (by buying, not selling yet) Patchwork's 9th event of bringing independent goods to the marketplace. There were lots of knitted animals, industrial-looking necklaces, and fun pillows all labored with love, spawning the reaction, wait you mean you made that? With your bare hands??

With friend (and model for GlamKat) Christina Kuo.







I can relate.

There will be another festival in the fall and hopefully you will see our frazzled yet smiling faces behind a booth.

Lynus the Lynx



Overheard conversation at the Kitty Lounge.

“I’m Lynus the Lynx, nice to meet you. Do you come here often? Yeah, that’s right. I see you checking out my paws. These huge guns help me plow through the cold snow. No, I don’t work out that often, just twice a day to catch a deer or two. I’m a transplant, originally from Alaska. I love it here, so many glam wild cats like yourself. I got a litter at home, some six young, but they fend for themselves. So slide me those digits, Kitty. I’ll be seeing you. Wait, why are you strolling away? Was it something I said?”

Lynus needs a little help. He needs a home and a sweet caretaker like yourself to nurture him and teach him how to be a kitty’s lynx (i.e. ladies' man). I personally like him better when he’s Space Lynx, like below:

Tame his wild side. Take him home today.

GlamKat Adventures

Some of you may have noticed that one of the GlamKats has been conspicuously M.I.A. for the last few weeks. Fortunately things have settled down a bit and I can start thinking about creating new items for GlamKat again. But until then, here's a photo montage of a recent GlamKat adventure! We got to hang out with our favorite Metblogger Queequeg who wrote a great piece on KChiu.

The itinerary: Silverlake Farmer's Market for some grub, UniqueLA Downtown for some important GlamKat market research, Tinlark Gallery in Hollywood where some of KChiu's art was featured among other works of awesomeness.


We need sustenance! Fueling up for the GlamKat day of adventure.









Great booths at UniqueLA!













There were some great pieces at the Tinlark including KChiu's huge Patagonia painting, transient artwork and a very Zen looking stuffed lion. Plus our Victorian kitty found an owner. Woot!
