About Us

 

My name is Terri, and my skating journey began when I was a little girl who took learn to skate classes at my local park district. It was there that I fell in love with ice skating. I also used to roller skate with my best friend every weekend. Once I had my daughter Bethany, I introduced her to ice skating when she was five years old, and it's been history ever since then. We both love skating and it’s literally in our DNA!

Prior to 2014 when we established Pinkskate, we noticed a problem in the retail clothing industry. The problem was that we did not see ice skating represented much at all. Ice skating is not a seasonal sport however, it is the holiday season that we'd find the occasional sweater or graphic t-shirt showcasing the activity.

The goal of our brand is to provide easy access to trendy fashion and accessories for people who are enthusiastic about skating. Although ice skating is our first love, we are proud to represent other forms of skating as well. You will see this reflected in some of our designs that highlight Hockey, Roller, Inline, Skateboarding and more!

We believe our Snowflake logo is the perfect way to symbolize progress in every skater. It serves as a good reminder that no one’s journey will be the same as another. This is why we infuse our designs with positivity and strive to promote the fact that it is never too late to learn how to skate.

To reduce our carbon footprint, our products are ethically sourced, and the majority are created at the time of purchase. We make every effort to ensure our products are made of excellent quality, so you will be proud to wear them.

Thank you for taking the time to read about how we got started on this amazing journey. We hope that you never give up on yourself and stay on the path of progress. When you do this, we refer to you as #pinksk8strong!
