Established in 1959, Barbara Katz was founded in a spare bedroom in Barbara’s North Miami Beach home. The store quickly outgrew the bedroom, and moved to the family’s enclosed carport. A few years later, the young entrepreneur outgrew her home store and opened her first free standing location in North Miami Beach. Three more stores were opened in South Miami, Bal Harbour and Plantation, Florida. Her fifth store, in Boca Raton, opened in the early 1980’s.

For over 60 years, Barbara Katz has been at the forefront of introducing European and American designer fashion to South Florida. The specialty retailer, located in Boca Raton, Florida, has evolved into a shopping destination where clients can connect with our team of stylists who are ready to help develop your individual style through personalized service and extraordinary selection.

Today Barbara Katz is owned and operated by Barbara’s granddaughter Cassie Walin.
