The spirit of a sunny day is in everything we do!

Our commitment to work-life balance, personal and professional growth, and a vibrant company culture is at the core of what we do.

After nearly 15 years in the fashion corporate world, Pink Chicken Founder and CEO, Stacey Fraser, decided to take a break and focus on her young daughter and new baby girl while living in NYC and spending summer weekends at the beach. During nap times, she would sew garments made of a multitude of patterns from bright block prints to 60’s florals. The spirit of sunny beach days and her love for vintage textiles came together to create easy and stylish pieces for the beach or dinner, for herself and her daughters.

She knew she was onto something when people stopped her in the streets and asked her where she got those happy, boho pieces. So Pink Chicken was born - of vintage roots, happy mixes of color and patterns, and most of all - the shared spirit of mothers and daughters.

Today, Pink Chicken is more than a clothing company. We are a joyful flock of happy and creative souls who believe in spreading sunshine, creating original prints and patterns that are designed to last, giving back, sustainability and providing the best customer service to our loyal and growing community.
