Kate Lord Adds Three New Collections for Spring 2012

(NEW BEDFORD, Mass.) – The Kate Lord collection by AHEAD continues to be one of the best performing women’s lines in the golf shop today. Worn by Brittany Lincicome, two-time winner on the LPGA this year, the Kate Lord collection is designed as a lifestyle brand. The success of the Kate Lord collection stems from its classic fit and style for today’s active women. For spring, Kate Lord has added three new color collections to its popular golf shop line—Seabreeze, Julep and Lavender. Each collection offers a selection of performance fabric polos with matching bottoms and sweaters and is complemented with matching outerwear. The entire collection is designed to keep women cool, dry and most importantly comfortable on the course.

“The Kate Lord line has been a staple in the golf shop because its style and classic color patterns appeal to large majority of women golfer,” said Tracy Wilson, general manager, Kate Lord. “The women’s apparel market can be a bit crowded with designer fashion.
