Polkadot USA was launched in 2001.
Debra Schoenau, owner-designer, had a mission to create a
beautiful, cozy, soft and  feminine look for lounge and sleepwear
for young , contemporary women across the US and  Japan.

Her 18 year old daughter was her inspiration. Debbie wanted to see
her in something other than her dads big old worn out tee shirts. It 
did not take her company long to create a successful line. Her
fabrics were so special that her collection were becoming popular
for outerwear, as well.

Debbie graduated from Boston University with a psychology
degree and a degree in fashion design from Parsons School of
Design in New York City. Her strong background coupled with her
past business experience as a Department Manager and Associate
Buyer at Bonwit Teller, sales representative for a Junior
Sportswear Company, Palmetto’s, allow her to assess the
upcoming trends and react quickly to her customer’s ever changing needs.

From design to distribution, Polkadot usa, started in New York
City, however, the manufacturing is done in England, where they
specialize in fine knitwear, and beautiful detailing.
Polkadot usa, a whimsical name, was derived from the song “Itsy,
bitsy, teeny, weeny, yellow polkadot bikini”.  Undergrads and
young hip women coast to coast are now wearing polkadot usa.

Selling at Saks Fifth Avenue, Fred Segal, and other fine specialty
stores, you could also find the collection at select yoga studios  
throughout the country.
