Kule Stripes: So Cool for Now...and Later

Style
Written By Katie Coslov

If you have been by our store recently I’m sure you have seen our new assortment of striped tees ranging in all sorts of fun colors by the brand Kule. Kule stripes make really cool stripes! (I had to.) But really, she does. A seasoned collector and admirer of stripped tops, Kule was founded by Nikki Kule in 2001, originally as a child’s line, to bring back the classic striped top with bold European influences. Then later, in 2011, she introduced a women’s collection and we couldn’t be more happy that she did so!Nikki has a rich background in fashion; her parents were the creators of the 1970s line Happy Legs, she went to Parsons School of Design in both New York and Italy, and she was a guest designer for Brooks Brothers. Nikki describes the motivation of her brand as the “modern preppy aesthetic.”One of my favorite things about a striped top is how it can be season-less with the right styling and accessorizing. Here are a few of our takes on how you can wear these tops now and later, come fall. Enjoy and come get a Kule shirt for you wardrobe. You won’t be sorry!

Co-Owner | Mint Condition and Mint Collective

Katie Coslov bought Mint Condition with her sister-in-law Megan Podolsky in August of 2019. Previously Katie was the Director of Operations at The Shoe Hive and had fallen in love with Old Town’s charming little city, where you walk down the street and greet people by their first names. Coming from numerous other big named retailers, and graduating from The University of Arizona with a Retailing and Consumer Sciences Degree, owning her own store had been on her bucket list! Check Check. Katie and her husband Ryan moved to the Alexandria area in 2016 with their two dogs and now have two little ones also.

Mint Condition stocks an ever-changing inventory of current women’s clothing, handbags, shoes, and jewelry by top designers – all in a fresh boutique atmosphere. Come see why we've been named the DC Metro’s Best Consignment Store by Washingtonian, Northern Virginia, Virginia Living Magazines, and the Washington Post Express and featured in Southern Living Magazine as one of Old Town's best boutiques.
