The “Kat” referenced in the name of this store come from its owner, Kat Masters, who has achieved the admirable feat of maintaining a local business in downtown Manhattan Beach for 11 years. Masters attributes this to the store keeping up with trends. It also appeals to multiple generations. “Everyone from younger girls to moms — we’re fun and accessible to all women,” said Masters. The store is also local in another way: The majority of its brands are LA-based.
