By Design was established in 1991 as a small, hand-crafted jewelry business. Chava Hudson, then an art teacher, began selling the clay earrings she & her 9 year old son made on the kitchen table. Within 2 years, she began producing polar fleece hats and putting her handmade pins on them. Finding a great demand for these items, some of her wholesale accounts began asking for jackets to go with the colorful hats. By Design Distinctive Outerwear Inc. was born and now sells a line of fleece jackets, coats, sportswear, and accessories to boutiques, nationwide. This year the line has expanded to include rainwear and some sportswear. What makes us different? Certainly there is no short supply of fleece jackets in this country. One only has to go to the grocery store or walk down the street to observe that polar fleece is EVERYWHERE. By Design offers outerwear that not only feels like a warm and fuzzy hug, but has lots of style and flair. These are not your everyday, ho-hum fleece jackets.
