At Kate & Amber, everything starts with a little mischief, a lot of heart, and an obsession with spooky style.
Once upon a time in a pastel-colored corner of the world, a neurodivergent mom-daughter duo—Kate and her daughter Amber—set out to create something they couldn’t find anywhere else: accessories and flair that felt like them.
Amber, autistic and art-obsessed, loved powerful villains, Tim Burton flicks, and the creepy-cute aesthetic. But trying to find clothing or accessories that reflected her style? That was a different story. Everything she loved was locked in the boys’ section or came in dull, dark tones that didn’t match her bright and bubbly personality.
So Kate did what any fiercely loving (and slightly spooky) mom would do—she grabbed a sketchbook and said, “Let’s just make our own.”
And just like that, Kate & Amber was born.
From Jewelry to Doodles: The Evolution
What began as a pastel-spooky jewelry brand is now transforming into something even more personal and playful: collectible lapel pins and vinyl stickers based on Kate and Amber’s original art. Each design starts as a doodle, often created side-by-side at the kitchen table with snacks, music, and way too many gel pens.
We’re talking:
-
Villain-inspired cuties with attitude
-
Halloween-themed flair made for year-round wear
-
Whimsical, neurodivergent-friendly art that lets your weird flag fly
These aren’t just accessories. They’re little pieces of expression, celebration, and rebellion against boring, same-same merch.
Why We Create (and Who It’s For)
Our community is made up of the misfits, the magical thinkers, the pastel goth babes, and the Halloween-obsessed. It’s for anyone who wants to wear their weirdness like a badge of honor. Our designs are for you if:
-
You felt more seen by Ursula than Cinderella.
-
You collect stickers like they’re treasure (because they are).
-
You believe villains had a point—and they should’ve gotten a merch line.
-
You’re raising a kid who doesn’t fit in a box, and you want them to know that’s a superpower.
The Mission: Self-Expression Without Permission
At Kate & Amber, we’re not waiting around for the world to get more inclusive or more creative—we’re building our own space. A space where elegance meets mischief, and neurodivergent creativity is celebrated, not silenced.
Whether you’re pinning a pastel vampire to your jacket or decking out your water bottle with spooky cuties, we hope our pieces remind you (and your little inner rebel) that it’s okay to be different.
Actually… it’s iconic.
