my mary-kateandashley collection

mary-kate and ashley brand

This is the brand that started it all. The mary-kateandashley brand was a fashion line for young girls, released exclusively through Walmart stores. It was a runaway success and the brand would go on to expand their offerings into housewares, personal care, electronics and furniture. Some of the fashion designs were actually really good! Unfortunately, even the purses are child-size and pretty unusable for an adult in most occassions. I've collected a few accessories mostly for nostalgia and display, though I get some use out of a few of them. Here's what I have:

accessories

black and white logo visor

street style vibes


bags

purple 3-in-1 rolling laptop bag and backpack

Olsenboye

Launched in 2009 exclusively at JC Penney, the Olsenboye marked Mary-Kate and Ashley's return to the racks. Targeted at a slightly older teen-to-twenty-something demographic than their Walmart line, the collection featured clothes, shoes and accessories in a number of trendy, contemporary styles. I was particularly fond of the bags from this line, and owned several when they were originally released. Unfortunately, I've lost all but one of them, though I've collected a couple more bags secondhand, and have several more on my wishlist. Here's what I have so far:

bags

gray studded bucket bag

a go-to.

multifloral drawstring bag

fucking gorgeous.


army green drawstring with empboridered detail
