A while back, we wrote in our blog about Chelsea, the teenage daughter of Tim, the owner of First Uniform, one of our koi retailers. Chelsea loves making quilts, which she often donates to those in need. koi founder Kathy Peterson sent her some koi fabric to use in her quilt-making and Chelsea was nice enough to send Kathy this beautiful quilt made with koi fabric. Thank you, Chelsea, and keep up the great work!

As some of you know, Kathy Peterson was born and raised in Hawaii. Here are some recent press clipping from Kathy’s hometown:

In case you haven’t heard the news, koi and Marc Ecko Enterprises are partnering to launch two new scrub collections under the Ecko Unlimited and Ecko Red brands. Ecko Unlimited will feature scrubs for men and Ecko Red will feature scrubs for women. Marc Ecko has been one of the leading names in fashion and youth culture since the 1990s and we’re excited about this new collaboration. Look for these new scrub collections in Spring 2011!
