Since my article about the sad passing of Kathryn Kalisz Donovan, I’ve been inundated with emails from consultants in the USA and also Australia wanting to know if we can provide Extended Seasonal colour fans or books or wallets. It seems that Kitty’s family business isn’t able to supply the 12 Tones swatch books right now.

The following is from a newsletter that I normally only send out to wholesale catalogue customers.  If you’re looking for Extended Seasonal wallets for your own business, I hope this helps.

For use with the Extended Seasonal system of colour analysis

These wallets provide 48 swatches for working with the Extended Seasonal system.

For instance, if you diagnose your client as a Bright Spring, you could give her the Spring / Clear wallet from this range as it contains only the brightest Spring colours.

For use with some tonal systems of colour analysis

These wallets are also designed to work with one of the many tonal systems out there so if you are used to diagnosing the same client as a Bright Light, then you would also choose the Spring / Clear wallet.

If, however, you diagnosed your client as a Light Bright, then you would need to go for the Spring / Light wallet.

NB. If you don’t understand what on earth I’m on about here, then you don’t need to spend any more time on these wallets!

Wallet design

There are 4 cards with 6 swatches on each of 8 sides of card, which fold up concertina style to form a slim wallet designed to fit into a handbag, briefcase or inside jacket pocket.

Each wallet includes 4 sides of text inserts which give plenty of advice on how to combine colours, especially neutrals and basics, to produce both the best assertive and calming looks for your client. 

NB. This advice is all aimed at women but the text inserts are easily removed if you want to offer these wallets to your male clients too.

Alternatives to consider for seasonal work

• Ladies’ Seasonal Wallets – card wallets, 30 swatches, with no text
• Ladies’ Seasonal Fans – fans, 30 swatches, with lots of text aimed at ladies
• Ladies’ Mini Seasonal Fans – 30 swatches only, no text

Alternatives to consider for tonal work

• Ladies’ Tonal Fabric Fans – fans, 45 swatches, with lots of text aimed at ladies
• Ladies’ Safe Tone Fans – fans, 18 swatches
• Add-ons – fan inserts, 15 swatches which can be added to the Safe Tone Fans

You’ll find all of these different wallets and fans in the wholesale catalogue.
