So she has a couple of brands, the founder of Love All. She has tennis, golf, and then even a dress line. She's launching swim soon. Um and then I believe ski is soon to come as well. So, you know, I love a serial entrepreneur. I really enjoyed our conversation. Their store there is beautiful in New York. Highly recommend if you're in the area. Um and the material of their products is so great. I have a few of their tennis and pickleball pieces, and I absolutely love them. Think like Seersucker getting them, very preppy prints, little accents, and I got to try some of the gloss pieces as well when I was there, which are just as fabulous. They are a really like cozy, soft material that um really pulls you in but is so comfortable. And their sweatshirts, um, their dress line, it all is so good, honestly. So I really enjoyed this conversation. Like I said, she's a serial entrepreneur, it's not even her first uh round at business. She had another one and sold that. So she's just a wealth of knowledge, and I know you guys are going to love this episode. Uh but before we get into that, a couple housekeeping things.

I think you know everything is all about community. So I'd love if you became a member and joined us in this community. But let's get into this week's episode. Okay, welcome back to the Preppy Podcast. Um, let's start at the beginning. Let everyone know who you are, where you live, and what you do.
SPEAKER_01Okay, great. Well, hi everyone. I'm so happy to be here. My name is Kate Davis, and I'm the founder of Love All. It's a family of sports brands, including Love All Tennis, Love All Golf, and Love All Swim. And I live right here in Manhattan on the Upper East Side of New York, two blocks away from my store where we are right now.
SPEAKER_02Yes, we're in her beautiful store. If you can see colorful, you can see some of the styles behind us. Um I cannot wait to learn more about you and Love All, but let's start at the beginning. Tell me about your childhood. Like, were you someone that was entrepreneurial, like had a lemonade stand growing up? Were you someone that was creative and fashionable, like made clothes for your dolls? Like, what was your childhood like?
SPEAKER_01Okay, um, well, yeah, I was always very creative. Um, I grew up right here in New York. Um, went to an all-girls school on the upper east side, and I painted all the time. I went to art class after school. I did classes at the Metropolitan. I was lucky enough. Um, my mother was an art teacher growing up, so after school I was always in an art room waiting for her to finish and um just constantly drawing, sketching, um, and uh clothes. I drew drew pictures of clothes more than making them. I had tons of notebooks that I would sketch in um outfit after outfit that I think my mom still has actually. Um so I always yeah, I always just loved drawing and um it didn't have a lemonade stand. This is uh a little bit out there, but um we spent the summers in Maine, okay, and the beaches are very rocky in Maine, so we would collect little rocks, um, and then I would paint the rocks with like little like pictures or lobsters, um, and then I would sell them. So I'd like put them out on a table and sell rocks, which people bought them. They were probably just being nice, but um, people still have them actually now, like 40 years later. Yes, people do have my rocks.
SPEAKER_02So I love that we have this entrepreneurial journey as kids, and I see so much of that reflected later in life as adults. Um, but I'm curious then when it came time for college, where and what did you end up studying? Was it like entrepreneurship, business, fashion?
SPEAKER_01Tell us. Um well I went to a liberal arts college, so um I actually studied art history, which definitely tied into my interests. I love art, um, which was great, so I could then spend my junior year abroad in Florence, which was an amazing experience. I highly encourage anyone who has the opportunity to study abroad in college. Um, so then after college, um I did go to business school. Okay. So that's really where I focused on entrepreneurship, and I knew I wanted to start a business after that, so um I really dug in at business school, but college was really all about liberal arts and um reading and writing and learning about art history. I mean, Florence sounds like a dream, so and I'm sure you get so much inspiration from travel, right? So much, yeah, so much design and um just the architecture and um the fashion in Italy. It was really great to be there.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, so tell me about then after business school. Um, what was your career like, or did you automatically dive into entrepreneurship?
SPEAKER_01Um, so I worked for three years before business school in investment banking, um, which wasn't my favorite job, but it was a really important job. So it's one of those jobs where you look back on it and you're like, oh, I'm really glad I did that, um, because I have a really solid foundation now in numbers. Like, I understand finance, I can build any spreadsheet, like basically in my sleep. So that's all I did for three years. So that's a really important skill to have when you're starting a business. And I think a lot of entrepreneurs probably that might be the one piece that's missing because you have a great idea, but understanding um how you know revenue streams work and income statements, yeah. So I did that, and then after business school, I pretty much did just dive right into the business that I had wanted to start.
SPEAKER_02I love that because so, first of all, I would say a lot of people that I interview on this podcast they say the hardest part is like the numbers and the spreadsheets. So the fact that you have that baseline from your previous career to go off of, I'm sure is so helpful. Um, but so tell me about then your first business.
SPEAKER_01Uh so my first business was a stationary and wedding invitation business called Pickett's Press. Okay. Um, I don't want to date myself too much, but um, this was before Paperless Post. Okay. Um, and a lot of mail was still being sent all the time. Um, thank you notes were all sent by hand, um, not by text or email, um, which is unfortunate now. But um, back then, when I started this business, everyone wrote a thank you note. So um I loved it. It was great. I I started it. Um, the letter press really fed into my love for um art and handmade items, and um, it was just very textural, and the paper was really thick and beautiful, and um it was a great business. I ran it for almost 20 years and I sold it last fall. Okay. Um so and we evolved, we moved online, um, we had a great e-commerce site, so it was it was a great journey. I loved it, and um, now I've moved on.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, well, first of all, I'm a big believer still in snail mail, like sending thank you notes. I love a paper invite to a party, even like a small dinner party with friends. Um, so how did you what did you like land on stationery? Like what was that thought process there back then?
SPEAKER_01I think it um I think it it my like my creative juices of like drawing and always like using my pants and draw that kind of led into it in that I was um I was doing um I would make stationery for my friends by hand, like piece by piece, which um people still do. Um you know, you'll I draw some flowers on the top or like watercolor them, and then I realized with letter press, which is such a beautiful technique, um it's probably uh unfortunately a dying art. There aren't very many letter presses left, but you'd make a plate like of that drawing or of that flower and then um run the paper through the press, hand press it, and then you could have like a hundred or two hundred. Um so it was really just wanting to be able to sell something that I could make by hand, okay. I could draw. So combining you know, business with um with creativity. Like I I wanted to be creating something, and I just kept trying to think how I could make a business out of that. So um that was that was one way. Um and I was getting married, so like right in the um throws of you know all of us getting married all around that age, like 26, 25, 26, and um so it was really fun to design wedding invitations. So I had a great wedding business, like word of mouth. Um I would custom draw these beautiful maps. Um, you know, if somebody was gonna be married in Nantucket, I'd I'd do a map of like all their places and that. Yeah, they it was it was really it was unique and um very thoughtful and personal, so people loved that about it.
SPEAKER_02Definitely. Well, and I feel like I visited Florence and I feel like um like stationery and paper goods is so popular there, so I wonder if like looking back you're like, oh maybe it was influenced a little bit by that, even like I think you're right, actually.
SPEAKER_01I because I did collect a lot of paper when I was in Florence. Um, I found some the other day actually, a box, like all the marble paper. Yeah, um, yeah, that's that's um I hadn't really put that together, but I'm sure that wasn't it.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, that's like the first place my mind went with it when she said Florence and then paper guys. Um, but so then tell me about the creation of Love All. So you sold your old business and then you started Love All. So what was that like moment you're like, I want to get back into entrepreneurship, I want to do something new, and why I guess initially tennis it started with, right?
SPEAKER_01Yes, so Love All started with Love All Tennis. That was the first brand. Um, and that actually that I bought that domain name um probably in 2020 or 2021. So I I'd had the idea, um, I play a lot of tennis. Um, that's one of my if I have any free time, that's something I try to do. It's a way to be active and then also see friends, and especially if you work or have kids and you're really busy, it's a nice way to kind of do both. Um, so I loved, I would, I would have a lot of doubles games, and um I just I love clothes, I love fashion, and and I kept thinking that there was something missing and um I didn't love what was on the market. So I I I thought, oh, that'll be that's a great idea. Um I'd love to design tennis clothes, but I didn't have the time, and so then when I when I sold Pickett's Press, I could really dig in um and and start an apparel brand.
SPEAKER_02I love it. Well, my listeners know that I love like country club sports like tennis, golf, pickle, all of that. Um, so I but I feel like having a paper goods brand and then clothing, they're so different. So, how did you know where to start and sort of what were those first steps from idea I want to start a tennis brand to like you know putting it out there and having product?
SPEAKER_01Yeah, I mean the parallel business is definitely different, but um honestly it when you when you get down to starting a business, it it's not that different. Like the steps you take are the same. Like you're forming an LLC, you're building a team, you're setting up a business account, you're finding a space. If you need a warehouse, you're finding warehouse space. Like the the steps that you take. If you need a trademark, you're filing patents, you're working with a lawyer, like all those steps that you take to found a business are are are pretty similar business to business when it's a consumer retail goods type of business, you know, not fintech or any that but what we sell, like I'm making a product and putting it out there. So um what was different was working with um sizes and different colorways and skews. I wasn't used to a product having like you know 15 different colors, which is 150 skews for one item, and keeping track of all of that, figuring out um like how many sizes per item, um, and you're just you're sort of guessing like what's gonna sell. Are people going to like the blue or the pink? Um, so that's that's different, and yeah, holding inventory, um, that piece of it has been very different, but it just like the groundwork of starting the business is is similar.
SPEAKER_02That makes sense. I mean, entrepreneurship really at the end of the day is like problem solving, right? Every single day there's a different problem and you're solving it and figuring out how, no matter what the product is or what the business is. Um so I can see how there's a lot of similarities no matter what the product is. Um, so what did you what did you initially launch with then?
SPEAKER_01Um so we launched with four styles um the Kate, the Rena, the Tracy, and the Ainsley dress. Okay. I think we're our first. Um, and I was really inspired by vintage tennis players. So that was the brandy this when it started. It was um and still to this day. Um really vintage inspired, traditional. Um you asked me about my childhood, but um I was here in New York um during the school year, and then in the summers, we went um both to East Hampton on Long Island and um to a small town in Maine. Okay. Um, where I where I played tennis, and it was all very traditional um whites, like very throwback 70s. Uh so I I loved that. So we started um we started with pieces that kind of evoked that that old old-fashioned kind of country club, all white look.
SPEAKER_02Very classic, very preppy, which you know I love.
SPEAKER_01Very classic and preppy. Yes. Um unfortunately, I try sometimes to be edgy, but I am just a preppy person.
SPEAKER_02And like why why force it, right? Okay, so I read somewhere that your daughter inspired um the line and and the brand, and specifically like her style with sports and including people and just being so welcoming. So I'd love for you to share that story.
SPEAKER_01Oh, um, yes, Whitney um, she's 18 now. She um just graduated college, and she she did inspire a lot of the line. She's in all of our photo shoots with all of her friends. She's just um ever since she was a little girl, she's so warm and inclusive of everybody. Um, she never wanted to be in the popular click, or um she would always go to try to sit with the person that maybe wasn't included. And so a big part of our brand is um Love All, um, including everyone. So it's a very inclusive brand. We have pieces that fit all body types, we want it to look good on everyone, we have price points um like all across the the range, so that we really want to be accessible. Um and and with Whitney's approach to um sports and um friendships really um is is inspiring.
SPEAKER_02That's so special. She sounds like amazing.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, she's she's great, she's heading off to college in the fall.
SPEAKER_02We're sad but happy. Yeah, I'm sure it's like you know, different emotions there. Um so tell me about the importance of building a team. We're in your store, obviously, and you have an amazing team here. Um, and I think that's something that a lot of entrepreneurs have a hard time justifying because it's a big expense, right? And it's your time training people, all of that, but it's so important in growth. So, do you mind chatting a little bit about that?
SPEAKER_01Sure. Um, yeah, I'm glad you asked about that because um a team and the people you work with is the most important thing in any business. Um honestly, I feel like sometimes if we could be selling, I don't even know, like just tennis balls. And if we had a good team, we'd make it work. Um it's it's it's really the the piece of the business you have to spend the most time on. Um, and it's the most challenging too. You want to um find really good people and make sure that they love what they do and that they're really happy at it. Um you need to pay people well, make sure there's good incentives and um that everyone's motivated to make a difference. Um, and and it's hard. Like we had so many, I mean, oh, we had a lot of misses along the way. We had a stretch um when we first started, where I think we had like three COOs in a row who we fired um like after three weeks each. And it was just you gotta find that right fit, right? Um, yeah, it was yeah, it's a tough position to fill. But um it it it's really it's really important and it's important to have a good mix between like working hard and playing hard. Like we try to mix in like happy hours or like breakfasts or like we break break things up or you know, just have like randomly like an early day. Like we'll close early so people can do something fun, and then sometimes we have to like come in early and be at the warehouse all day. So it's um it's just if you find good people, um just hold on to them, right? Yeah and create good culture so that they want to stay, right? Supporting that. Nice when everyone gets along. Um I agree with you.
SPEAKER_02Um it's funny you said, well, if we're selling tennis balls, Eva, and like it's about the right team. I feel like if you had tennis balls, it'd be gingham and super sucker, right?
SPEAKER_01I don't know. I feel like that's kind of like I want to buy a tennis ball from like a tennis ball company, I think, more than a matching company.
SPEAKER_02I don't know. Like I never say never. Try. Um, but with that then, I'm curious. You know, I'm wearing this great set that has gingham, you have some gingham there as well, you have seersucker um in some pieces behind us and rick rack. What is your personal favorite style right now? And then what would you say is like the best seller?
SPEAKER_01Oh my gosh. Ah, pressure. Um well for tennis, um, for tennis, my favorite is probably the Kate set. Okay. Because that was my first design. So I'm, you know, your baby. So, um, and we've re released that in many different colorways. We've re released it with stripe waistband and in resort colors. Um, it's really flattering. I love it. Um My favorite piece that we just in our entire love all brand um is our new, like we have this lifestyle collection, it's actually behind you. So these um quartzide dresses, which I I mean I seriously wear these like almost every day. Um my husband is like, oh, you're wearing that dress again. Um but it it fits well, they're great. Um I love it. Our best seller for tennis is probably the Gabriella dress. Okay. Um, it's really flattering, it's a little bit sexy. Um, it's named after Gabriella Sabatini. It has a deep zipper.
SPEAKER_02Uh-huh. Um that's the one I tried on, right? I love that one, I think. Yeah.
SPEAKER_01It's great. Um, it's one of our um, it's one of our styles. We call them the tensies. Okay. It's like a onesie tennis dress. So um it's funny. Some people you either love it or you really don't like it, but it's everything built in. So like bra, shorts, like one stop.
SPEAKER_02Yeah.
SPEAKER_01Um, and it's very flattering too because then it kind of like holds you in.
unknownYeah.
SPEAKER_02I feel like all of your styles are super flattering. Like, this is so flattering. Even looking at this, I feel like looks like it'd be so flattering on the female figure. Um, so let's talk about then next sort of the addition of golf, the um new clothing line, and then kids. Like, what was your decision process behind each of those and which came first, I guess?
SPEAKER_01So tennis was first, and then for the expansion lines, golf was next because um people asked. Like, that's really like I didn't set out thinking like, oh, we'll do golf and tennis, and um, but it just was a natural extension of the rims. A lot of people would come in for tennis and say, we love this, but golf clothes are so ugly. Can you help us out? So um, in terms of the different markets, it seems like tennis has far more options for women, so it's it's definitely a more competitive market when you're in the um sort of fashion aspects of it, um, and not just like technical performance. But if if you're looking for something cute and fun, there's a lot of options. Golf seems like far, far more difficult for women who want something um cute like what I'm wearing. Like you could wear this out to lunch like so easily. Like it's very um feminine and um charming and and just yeah, preppy, easy to wear. So we um so we we did that just because people wanted it, and it's it's been great.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, well it's funny, we were walking around the store earlier, and I saw you even have golf pants, which I do not wear golf pants because I find them very unflattering. So I was so excited to see those. I'm like, I'm gonna have to try these on because they look super cute. Yeah, so I definitely see what you're saying there. Um, but then what about the addition of kids and then clothing?
SPEAKER_01So kids, um again, because people asked for kids, um, and it's sort of a natural extension. Like we have all the designs for the um like mom clothes, so it was it was pretty easy relative to cut them in kids, um, and that has been a huge hit. So um a lot of clubs we work with um either carry both kids and adults, or some just carry the kids because it's so popular. Um, and then the lifestyle we just launched because um I I wanted some pieces to to wear when I like wasn't wearing my golf stuff or my Thomas clothing, and I wanted to change into something on vacation that was easy um and flattering, yeah. So I I just wanted to do that.
SPEAKER_02Made sense, sorry. Yeah. Um no, I love all the pieces and they all fit seamlessly, I feel like, into the puzzle. So, since we're in the New York City store, tell me about this edition. Like, why did you decide to open brick and mortar? Um, you know, why Upper East Side, even the decor and like the paint, it's so pretty and cheerful. Like when you walk by, especially on a gray, like rainy New York City day, you just want to come inside.
SPEAKER_01It's a very happy store. I agree. We do we get that a lot. Um I just feel like you can't really be successful at a business unless you know what the customer thinks. And there's really no better way than have people come in and try things on or say, Oh, do you have this, or like I'm desperate for a lavender golf top. I find that like what one person wants often a lot of other people want. Yeah, and and then it's it's just it's fun to have a destination. Um, it's fun for our marketing, we can do photo shoots in here. Um, we had a really cute mom and daughter come. Um, they were they from Texas, Amanda? A link. They came. Remember they were trying on all this stuff, and they'd like followed us on Instagram, and it was really cute. They were like so excited to actually. They're like, you're on our list of like 10 things we had to do in New York.
SPEAKER_02It's like a destination.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, yeah. So that's why.
SPEAKER_02That makes total sense. Um, so I'd love to hear then um what is the best compliment you've ever received or a pinch me moment in terms of the brand.
SPEAKER_01Oh my gosh. Um well, actually, okay, on um Friday I was driving out um to Long Island after we had a long day here, and one of my friends sent me a picture of this like woman walking down the street with a love-all shopping bag, and she was like, Oh my gosh, I saw someone walking with your bag, so she like tapped them on the shoulder. Um, thanks, Susan. And um, she said, Um, can I take a picture of your bag? And I guess the the ladies were like, Oh my gosh, this is like the best store ever. You have to go here. And they were like talking about how like amazing it was, and like they didn't know she was my friend, yeah, you know, but they were like, You have to go, and so it's fun when people like talk well about something you've created when you're like not in the room. Yes, yes.
SPEAKER_02And they're not your friends or family, they're just strangers, yeah.
SPEAKER_01And strangers are you know, that's that's the best. Um, you know, our first our first like 10 trunk shows, it was all um like my mom and her friends every business car is closed. And then when um like every morning I still get so excited, like I look at at my love all email and like someone from Kansas has ordered something, someone like from Ohio or um like Michigan, you know, who someone who has no idea like who who I am or we are, they just like the brand. So that's yeah, I guess that's like the best pinch me moment is you know seeing people um, you know, seeing that the brand resonates with people who have who who have no personal connection at all. They just like the message and the branding. Totally, seeing it in the wild.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, yeah, exactly. So since this is the preppy podcast, I always ask everyone, what does preppy mean to you? So how would you describe preppy?
SPEAKER_01Oh, um, well, I feel like I'm pretty preppy. Um so I guess um, you know, if you if you think of like Slimarin's photographs or um in our headquarters in Midtown, we have on the walls, we just we have a bunch of blown-up Slimarin's photos of like women in the Bahamas with you know really retro golf clothes on, kind of tailored and um, you know, not not sloppy, like fitted and colorful, um no graphic writing, just kind of um classic, classic, timeless, yeah, definitely.
SPEAKER_02So speaking of Slamarins, I know you know his photography is so inspired by travel, and I know you're a big traveler yourself. So what is your favorite court to play on first?
SPEAKER_01Um my favorite court to play on. Well, I guess I guess that's like a two kind of a two-pronged question. Yeah. Because there's like a court that I get to play on a lot, so that's probably my favorite. Um that's at my friend's home in East Hampton, and um it's it's right on the water on Georgia Cut Pond, and it's such a treat to play there because you're surrounded by flowers and it's beautiful. Um so that but but then like my favorite court I've like played on would probably be um in Italy. So if anyone's traveling and you want like a really cool experience, it's um in Portofino in a hotel there. And um, but I think you can just book the court um and it's it's like way up in the mountains, and it's it's really incredible to play there at the Splendido Hotel in Portofino. So yeah, so destination court, like an everyday court, family court, yeah.
SPEAKER_02I love that. I mean that court sounds like it's out of Slimarin's portrait itself.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, it's it's it's beautiful, and um actually when we were just starting out, um this friend of mine was so generous, she lent us her court for our very first photo shoot. You know, because when you when you get started, you can't spend like a gazillion dollars like hiring models and um you know hiring courts in in beautiful places. So our you you see it on our Instagram a lot actually for court.
SPEAKER_02Oh that's a fun story. Okay, what about course for golf?
SPEAKER_01Um, so we go to the Bahamas a lot for holiday um Thanksgiving, Christmas um time with the kids, and so there's a course there um in Lightford, which is is really beautiful and um fun to play on, and it has great memories too because my kids grew up playing there, so we played together, and um that's probably my favorite course.
SPEAKER_02Yeah, I feel like one time I called you when you were heading to the Bahamas probably.
SPEAKER_01Like when we yeah, when we first connected.
SPEAKER_02Totally. Okay, and then finally, like mountain or resort.
SPEAKER_01Um oh, so um, well Acadia National Park is where I grew up going in Maine. Um my my family's house was like three minutes from the park. So we hike all the time, like daily, if not you know, every other day. And um those mountains, you can't meet them, they're just gorgeous. If anyone hasn't been to Acadia National Park, it's the most beautiful national park. I highly recommend it.
SPEAKER_02Okay, put that on your list, everyone. Um, what about a resource for business or like a piece of advice you got? It could be a newsletter, a podcast, um, a website, like anything that you could share that people could check out.
SPEAKER_01Okay, um well, so for podcasts, uh my husband and I in the car, we often listen to entrepreneurship or like business podcasts. So we really like how I built this, the Gyras podcast. Um, there was one on Strava that was really cool, and um one on Supergoop, that's a really good one. Um it's really interesting to hear people's stories, you know, how these band brands get get built. Um and then just personally, um I feel really fortunate. I'm part of a um sort of like a founder's like WhatsApp um group chat, and it's it's such a great resource. It was started by one of my HBS classmates, and um people are so helpful on it. So you can you can just write a question like, hey guys, has anyone used a really good marketing person, or does anyone know anyone looking for a job? And I've I've I've gotten just really so many great resources through that. So I would say to translate that um to everyone, just like lean on whatever community yeah you have, whether it's from school or or your friends or or a local business community, any of those.
SPEAKER_02Yeah. Okay, what about a dream collab or dream client like customer that you could dress in your pieces? It could be anyone like celebrity, dead or alive, a royal, um, or a brand that you want to collab with.
SPEAKER_01Oh my gosh, okay. All these are all these hard questions are almost done. Um well, so one of our um one of our favorite um inspiration tennis players, because um many of our pieces are inspired by specific tennis players. So like the Margaret dress is inspired by Margaret Court and the Gabriella dress like I mentioned. Um so actually you're wearing the Tracy set. So Tracy Austin is probably my number one favorite inspiration for her tennis outfits. I love everything she wore, and um that would be amazing if Tracy ever wanted to wear our Tracy set. That would really be a great day.
SPEAKER_02I love that answer, and I love that story behind all the pieces that they're named after someone, um, a tennis icon, and so I think that's special. And then what you're wearing is a sneak peek, right? Of something coming out.
SPEAKER_01Yeah, this is brand, this isn't out yet because it's part of our golf um resort collection, which is coming out. Okay. Yeah, it's it's super cute. Checked, um signature rip rack, um, contrast stitching, scallop, all all of our um all of our timeless classic trimmings.
SPEAKER_02I love it. It looks so cute. I can't wait for that set. Um, so any other sneak peeks you want to share? Something for people to look forward to, like when's resort launching, then would you say, or yeah, so we should have this um by end of August.
SPEAKER_01Right. And then um, I guess a sneak peek, we're really excited about our swim line. Oh, so um that's that's also um scallops, gingham, chucks, um, some zippers, some tie, really, really great style, um, and that'll probably be out in September.
SPEAKER_02Oh, exciting!
