EVELYN & KATE to Debut Signature Collections at Surf Expo 2025 Orlando, FL – September 4, 2025 – EVELYN & KATE, a lifestyle brand born from the creative collaboration of two lifelong friends and professional artists, is set to showcase its colorful fashion accessory and home decor collections at the upcoming Surf Expo. The three-day wholesale event takes place September 4–6, 2025, at the Orange County Convention Center in Orlando, FL. Attendees can experience the brand’s unique designs at Booth #3804. The story of EVELYN & KATE began with friendship and a gift. When artist and gallery owner Kate invited her childhood friend Evelyn to present a solo exhibition at her gallery, Evelyn expressed her gratitude in a unique way—by transforming their combined artwork into signature patterns. The resulting stripes, florals, and patterns were brought to life on fine cotton, linen, canvas, and silk, and crafted into distinctive fashion accessories and home décor. Evelyn then presented a curated selection of these pieces to Kate as a gift, sparking the idea that would soon grow into a brand. Longtime friend Doug Whitner learned about Evelyn’s gift, and he envisioned the launching of a new brand EVELYN & KATE. His deep expertise in manufacturing and branding helped bring EVELYN & KATE to market. Today, the collection is defined by original artist-designed prints, reimagined as timeless pieces for both fashion and home. “We’re thrilled to bring EVELYN & KATE to Surf Expo for the very first time,” said Evelyn Lafave McCarthy, CEO of EVELYN & KATE. “We hope to bring Joy through Color, Pattern, and Design, and can’t wait to share that energy with the coastal lifestyle community.” EVELYNANDKATE.COM
