Sue Scheff: Pigtail Pals is Redefining Girly

We are a company that offers distinctive designs on stylish, premium tees. Our colors remind girls to be bold. Pigtail Pals inspires girls to be smart, daring, and adventurous. We encourage girls to Redefine Girly!
Pigtail Pals was created by Melissa Wardy, a stay-at-home mom who wanted better options for her pre-school daughter when it came to clothes. Melissa wanted role models for her daughter that exemplified courage, intelligence, and independence.She didn't want to confine her little girl to the pink and purple world being marketed to her. When Melissa couldn't find what she wanted, Pigtail Pals was born. Pigtail Pals tries to get away from the ubiquitous pink and purple princess-diva-drama queen trend. It is our intention to show girls that they may be bold, adventurous and heroic just like the boys!A Pigtail Pal doesn't wish upon a star and wait for her prince to show up. A Pigtail Pal gets into her rocket ship and finds that star all on her own!
