Kalibri Boutique is made for the IT Girl. As one of the designers states, “Basically, when I started Kalibri Boutique I knew I wanted it to be grounded in my idea of Girl Power. Which comes from personal experience, since I was 14 and had a butt and boobs, I’ve never dressed “appropriately” or was wanted boys would look at me a certain way, and even then, I didn’t care. I dressed for me and that’s what I wanted Kalibri to be based in, dressing for yourself, not giving a fuck, and being a boss. Our thing is an “IT Girl” and for us that means anyone that feels empowered in our clothes. We just want girls to have fun and start loving themselves.” Shop their apparel: https://kalibriboutique.com
