Crystal Simpson

Born with the gift of art and creativity, she decided to attend the Art Institute of Ft. Lauderdale. At the age of 26, Crystal received her Associate of Science degree in Fashion Design. She graduated with honors and began the school’s first blanket charity drive to help students earn graduation credit hours while helping sick children at the Joe DiMaggio Children’s Hospital. This was the beginning not only of her charity work and career but it was the beginning of her family as well.

Her daughter, Mikayla Jade was 19 months old when Crystal graduated with her degree and her son, Maddox Colt was born just two months after. The birth of her children was a blessing but with it came the birth of an idea. That idea was Kisses & Couture; an idea created just to bring in extra cash by using her design ability which has grown into a business. She also created the Traveling Angel Program, which is meant to help children within the foster care system by giving a sense of hope.

For every couture handbag purchased, Kisses & Couture donates a tote bag to a “traveling angel” to use in their travels as they are moved from home to home. Kisses & Couture handbags and baby items speak for themselves. They are unique and chic. They are custom created and every detail is stitched with love. But with every stitch comes the love of giving to others.

“The purpose of life is to experience, joy, love and abundance; to give to others and to, above all, give thanks” This is Crystal’s way of giving thanks for all of the blessings God has given to her. It is the responsibility of every business owner and adult to care for those children who have been forgotten. Crystal hopes that by spreading love and sharing it with others, more people will learn that you must give in order to receive and that it will always pay off to “pay-it-forward”. This is where her story begins…and she hopes to one day make history.
