How Kady Meite Turned a Patented Hoodie into $250K in Global Sales
Industry: Consumer Products / Apparel & Wearables
Location: Philadelphia, PA
At Bold Patents, we’re proud to spotlight Kady Meite of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, the inventor and fashion entrepreneur behind U.S. Design Patent No. D943,243 S, titled Hoodie with a Head Covering. Kady’s patented design elevates a familiar wardrobe staple by seamlessly integrating a head covering into the hoodie’s overall silhouette—blending comfort, functionality, and modern style into a distinctive apparel product.
In a highly competitive fashion market, Kady’s design stands out for its thoughtful proportions and cohesive aesthetic. The patented hoodie offers versatility for everyday wear, layering, and personal expression, while maintaining a strong visual identity. This focus on both form and wearability reflects a deep understanding of how apparel functions in real life—where comfort, confidence, and style intersect.
That design insight has translated into meaningful commercial success. Through her brand Veil Street (www.veilstreet.com), Kady generated over $250,000 in sales so far, with her apparel now reaching customers in 30+ countries worldwide. This global adoption highlights the universal appeal of her design and the power of protected aesthetics in building a scalable fashion brand. Her hoodie isn’t just a concept—it’s a product resonating across cultures and markets.
Falling within the Consumer Products / Apparel & Wearables space, Kady’s journey underscores the importance of design patents in fashion. While trends come and go, protecting the ornamental aspects of a garment helps preserve brand identity, deter imitation, and support long-term growth—especially as products gain international traction.
Bold Patents attorney Houda El-Jarrah worked closely with Kady to secure design patent protection for the hoodie, ensuring the unique ornamental features were accurately captured and defensibly protected. That IP foundation has enabled Kady to grow Veil Street with confidence as her brand continues to expand globally.
Congratulations to Kady Meite, whose Philadelphia-based innovation demonstrates how bold design, strategic intellectual property, and strong execution can turn a creative vision into an internationally successful apparel business.
