"The Bakers" Peggy & Irene
Hi! We are Peggy and Irene the proud creators of Attitude Pie. We live in South Florida, "bake" non-stop, and somehow find the time to raise 2 husbands, 6 kids and 3 dogs! Our adventure began in the fall of 2004, when wrote a line of quote books filled with humorous sayings. We became known around town as the "Quote Queens" after publishing "Menopause Moments," "Attitude", "Diet Schmiet", and "From the Heart" quote books. Just for fun, we silk-screened a few of those clever sayings, such as "My Other Mood Likes You", onto adult tanks. Realizing that many of our menopausal moments were similar to a child's mood swing, we were encouraged to put quotes on youth tanks with appliques.
In June 2005, a local Fort Lauderdale children's boutique showcased our unique tank designs and in one week the entire collection flew out the door. We knew we were on to something special. Soon, Attitude Pie started to create fashionable separates for ages 3 - 6 months to size 7/8, in addition to already designing a successful specialty tank/tee/onesie line for girls, boys, and adults. By March 2006, we added more South Florida boutiques and when we went national in August 2006 we spread throughout the country. From our whirlwind beginning, the company has quickly grown to over 500 stores worldwide. We attribute Attitude Pie's rapid growth, strong customer loyalty, and positive industry reviews to our motto "Kid's Clothing with Personality" and superb customer service. Attitude Pie is known for its quality and unique designs. Store owners rave that it is a 'must-have' line which never hits the clearance rack!
Designing Lifelong Friends
Peggy and I have been friends for over 18 years and have been laughing our way through one of the best friendships two only children could ever have! Our first laugh came when we were introduced by the principal of our children's pre-school, who thought we looked like sisters. Bewildered, we stared at each other for a moment and wondered what similarities this lady saw. Peggy has blonde hair, green eyes, and is short. I have brown hair, brown eyes, and am tall. Oddly enough, through the years we have been told that we look like sisters a thousand times. So, now we just say yes! Our incredible friendship has been tremendous fun and has brought the Attitude Pie line to its creative success.

The Magic Mirror
Design inspirations usually come in the wee hours of the night when all is quiet. We go into "The Bakery" (our design studio) and begin a ritual using the "Magic Mirror" given to me as a teenager by my mother. All designs go before the magic mirror for 'approval'. When we like what we see in the mirror, it officially becomes a "slice of Attitude Pie". Together, Irene and I have found that laughter is the best way to handle all aspects of our business. We believe that it provides a comfortable working atmosphere and builds a family-style relationship with our employees and stores. I believe the magic of Attitude Pie comes from the special bond Irene and I have together.

What's Baking for 2009
For Spring and Fall '09, we went crazy with beautiful ruffle tank dresses and trendy two piece skirts and pant outfits. We introduced our new, fabulous, trendy "Cha Cha" skirts with attached leggings. After this season's market shows, the store owners loved the "Cha Cha" skirts SO MUCH that they expressed the desire to carry them all year long!
Of course, we are always creating new fun tank/tee designs. Attitude Pie continually "dishes" new designs through our national sales representatives, trade shows, and online catalog. We believe that every boutique that tries a "slice of Attitude Pie" will always come back for seconds!
We love what we do and look forward to many more years of creating beautiful clothing for your children!
