Today marks a significant milestone in the world of golf fashion as 14-year-old competitive golfer and entrepreneur Kate Korngold proudly unveils Featherie, a groundbreaking golf apparel brand tailored specifically for teen girls. Fueled by her passion for golf and determination to fill the void in suitable attire for her peer group, Korngold has embarked on an extraordinary journey to redefine style, comfort and sustainability on and off the course.
Korngold was inspired to create the brand after struggling to find suitable golf apparel that
matched her style and values. After years of playing in ill-fitting clothes designed for boys
and young men, Kate set out to establish a brand to embrace one’s power with designs that
reflect her vision for inclusivity, innovation and sustainability.
“I created Featherie because I couldn’t find the kind of golf apparel I wanted as a teen girl
who loves the game,” said Korngold. “Most options out there were either too traditional or
too juvenile and almost always ill-fitting – they didn’t cater to the fashion preferences of
girls my age. Featherie is my response to that challenge – a brand that celebrates form,
function and the values of my generation which includes sustainably sourced fabrics that
are UV protective. Just as the Featherie golf ball revolutionized the game of golf as the first
performance golf ball, Featherie apparel is changing the status quo by enabling girls to feel
stylish, confident and comfortable on the course with designs that also enhance
performance. Featherie is here to give new and competitive female junior golfers a
high-quality line of stylish apparel that is sophisticated, comfortable and functional.”
The debut collection from Featherie includes a range of golf apparel, from stylish polos to
comfortable bottoms and flexible outerwear, designed to cater to the tastes of young girls
who are passionate about golf.
“Featherie is more than just a clothing brand; it’s a movement. I wanted to create something
that spoke to the unique style and needs of teen girls in the golf community,” added
Korngold. “With the number of female junior golfers rapidly increasing each year, I decided
that it was time to shake things up in the golf industry and create a thoughtfully-designed
clothing brand that specifically addresses the needs of female junior golfers who do not
want to compromise performance or style. The line is designed with sensitivity to things
young women care about, from full coverage of undergarments, to tee holders near pockets,
tulip edging and performance fabrications. With Featherie, teen girls can express
themselves, stay protected and contribute to a sustainable future. Featherie is not just
about golf apparel; it’s a statement of empowerment for young girls who love the sport.”
