In advance of a national push, fourth generation owner Kelly Hamilton recently introduced the exquisitely hand-crafted shirts for women to a powerful cache of Houston bloggers and influencers.

The ladies perused a rolling rack of shirts featuring the five styles offered — a classic button-down, a “boyfriend” button-down, a tunic, a western style and a utility shirt. And with every woman in mind, the shirts come is sizes 0 to 14 and XXS — XXL. The shirts are handmade in the Houston workshop.
“For the last few years, I’ve been working with our team of pattern makers and seamstresses to create five, perfectly constructed, classic styles that I think every woman should have in her wardrobe,” Hamilton explains.
“There’s nothing fashion forward about this line,” she adds. “They’re just beautifully made shirts, crafted from the finest Italian fabrics, showcasing styling details that accentuate curves in all the right ways. That makes them very wearable and comfortable.”
Prices of the Hamilton Women’s shirts range from $265 to $345 for specialty fabrics. And, oh, how the ladies went wild for the swatch books. Hamilton notes that there are in fact hundreds of fabrics to choose from during store visits. If shopping on line, Hamilton Women’s offers an edited version of five to 10 fabrics per design.
