Strong Boalt Delivers A New Collection For The Holidays
By: Hope Wilkos, Writer
The name may not be familiar to you, but, this particular designer is blessed with enormous creativity and boundless fashion talent. Amanda Boalt grew up in Palm Beach. She fondly remembers the good times with her vivacious grandfather of Cuban descent, Enrique Rousseau, who loved to entertain with his wife and her grandmother, the famous Florida lifestyle designer, Lilly Pulitzer.
With a keen sense that designing was part of her genetics, Amanda started her career as a buyer for Ralph Lauren, one of the most recognized names in the fashion industry for decades. It was an experience that she will remember forever and that part of her career has guided her continuously, contributing to the success she has now achieved.
In 2009, Strong Boalt became a brand created for men and boys living that coastal lifestyle. Amanda’s mission statement strongly inspires her, “ Life is a gift, wear it well.” From the time she began the brand, her merchandise was carried in upscale boutiques all across the country, as well as at high-end resorts in the Caribbean and the Dominican Republic. In 2015, Amanda Boalt was ecstatic to be able to open her first signature store which is located at 326 Peruvian Avenue in Palm Beach, Florida, not far from the affluent Worth Avenue. You can now also find the brand being purchased in luxury hotel golf and beach retail shops.
Now, just in time for the holiday gift giving, Strong Boalt is thrilled and proud to debut its newest collection, Resort Spring 2017. Each piece exudes the feeling of being in a lush tropical paradise. The collection is characterized by vibrant colors and whimsical patterns. The 2017 Collection introduces fresh, new sporty fashion statements, with tropical prints for well-dressed males, who don’t take life too seriously. The new line embraces the elegance of the timeless Palm Beach lifestyle with the introduction of “The Christopher,” a v-neck style sweater, and “The Anthony,” a double-zip blue toned hoodie, both made of 100% Italian cashmere. Look for stylish new colors in the ever-popular long sleeve polo’s in the new 2017 Resort Collection made with the finest Peruvian Pima cotton.
Strong Boalt’s trademark is quite clear; sporty and sophisticated with a preppy twist. From remarkably casual to effortlessly classic, the collection epitomizes the Palm Beach allure. Pants, trunks, board shorts, and sweaters are made with the finest materials, and are light enough to pack for an action-packed weekend getaway. Loyal brand followers find the clothing provides quality, functionality, and authenticity.
Strong Boalt’s entire collection can also be purchased online, at strongboalt.com. Strong Boalt fashions take one from a sub-drenched day at the beach, straight to cruising the blue waterways on a yacht or jet-ski’s, or indulging in cocktails at sunset at a local tiki bar or oceanfront resort. Of course, if you are wintering in the Palm Beaches, the Strong Boalt store is open seven days a week.
