Kristin Davis for Belk

Charlotte (I mean Kristin Davis) is launching a line of clothes that will be sold at Belk stores. Everyone else has a clothes line now, so why not? Carrie (I mean Sarah Jessica Parker) has launched her "Bitten" line for Steve & Barry's, in which all items are inexpensive. I can imagine the same would be true for Belk clothing. The price range is said to be between $16 and $248. She will have accessories such as shoes, purses and belts as well as clothing that can be worn to work or at night. Stay tuned for the launch this Fall.
