In 1969 Carol, a woman living in Clearwater, Florida, started a cottage industry business called CC Patches in her garage. Carol and her partner took beautifully crafted pieces of fabric and patched them into fun and colorful resort garments. The company evolved into Patchington. With the support of Burt Waters, what started as a wholesale business, soon turned into a successful retail company famous for its 3 piece sets. In 2003 the company evolved again, when the current President and CEO, Michael Levich bought into the company. His knowledge in the retail market contributed to the variety that is seen in the boutiques today. Patchington is all about living the resort lifestyle. The company has been dedicated to color, wardrobing and the traveling winter resident since the very beginning.
