How A. Putnam 'intertwines' founder's passions
"I like a more conservative and polished style — think Parisian minimalist. My sweet spot is 35 to 55, it’s me in a nutshell. My target is who I am, a busy mom who might be working part of the day, running kids around then dabbling in activities including golf. I design versatile clothing for the casual golfer. All of my old golf clothes collected dust between the four rounds a year I had time to play and they always felt like my 'golf costume.'
"The biggest compliment I can get is if somebody picks up an A. Putnam piece and says, ‘I’d wear this all the time outside of golf.’ That’s a home run to me."
