Why Pink? The Bold and Beautiful Heart of Katie Laine Handmade

If you’ve spent any time around here, you’ve probably noticed something: I really love pink. It’s not just a happy accident—it’s part of who I am and what this little handmade business stands for. While I use lots of colors in my creations, pink is the heartbeat of Katie Laine Handmade.

So today, I thought I’d share a little more about what pink means to me—and why it’s more than just a color. It’s a message.

 

Pink is Bold

Pink is joyful and eye-catching. It doesn’t fade into the background—and neither do the women I design for. Pink reminds me to create boldly, to show up fully, and to pour a little personality into every piece I make.

From floral bags to playful keychains, there’s always a touch of boldness in what I do—and pink captures that energy perfectly.

 

Pink is Creative

There’s something about pink that feels imaginative and full of possibility. It’s a color that invites play, sparks ideas, and refuses to be boring. Just like handmade products, it celebrates creativity and the beauty of things that are one-of-a-kind.

Every item I make is a blend of pattern, purpose, and personal touch—and pink reminds me to lean into that originality.

 

Pink is Powerful

People often think of pink as soft, but to me it’s also strong. It’s a color that embraces its own energy—feminine, fearless, and unafraid to stand out.

Pink isn’t just pretty—it’s powerful. It speaks to the strength and spirit of the women who carry my bags, light my candles, and wear my accessories. It reminds all of us that softness and strength can coexist.

 

Pink is Joy

At the heart of it all, pink feels like joy. It’s cheerful, light-hearted, and full of hope. And that’s what I try to bring to everything I make: a little color, a lot of joy.

Whether it’s a floral scrunchie that makes you smile, a cozy hand cream that lifts your mood, or a tote bag that brightens your everyday errands—pink is a thread that runs through it all.

 

Pink is Connection

Pink is warm. It’s welcoming. It’s the color of heartfelt notes and happy mail. And for me, it’s a reminder of all the wonderful people I’ve met through this journey—online and in person. You’ve made Katie Laine Handmade what it is.

So when you see pink in my packaging, in my branding, or stitched into the seams of your bag, I hope it reminds you that you’re part of something special.

Thank you for being here.

Thank you for supporting handmade.

And thank you for bringing a little color—and a lot of joy—into your life, too. 💕

XO,

Katie
