Bellboy Apparel

Bellboy Apparel is a Kansas City heritage-tee brand established in 2014 by the owners of the Westside Storey shop, with a flagship storefront in Woodside Village in Westwood, Kansas. Born as Westside Storey’s house apparel line, Bellboy makes vintage-vibe Kansas City tees, sweatshirts, and goods — KC pennant, fountain, smiley, and football designs — and its flagship store also carries other local and national brands alongside vintage jewelry and antiques.¹²³⁴

Description

Bellboy Apparel is a Kansas City apparel brand that specializes in “tees with a vintage vibe,” producing Kansas City-themed t-shirts, sweatshirts, hoodies, kids’ clothing, crop tops, and accessories.³ Its collections lean heavily on local pride and KC heritage imagery — the KC Pennant, KC Smiley, KC Fountain, and KC Football lines among them — built around what the brand describes as quality apparel with timeless design out of Kansas City.²⁴ The brand bills itself as “EST. 2014.”⁵

Bellboy operates a flagship retail storefront at Woodside Village in Westwood, Kansas, at 2200 W 47th Pl.³⁶ Beyond its own line, the Woodside Village store carries apparel and goods from other local and national brands — such as Made Apparel, Stance, and Vineyard Wick — as well as vintage jewelry and antiques, mirroring the curated, locally-rooted retail model of its sibling shop Westside Storey.³ Bellboy products are also sold online through its own site, carried at Westside Storey, and stocked by other KC retailers such as Made in KC.²⁷

Bellboy began as the house apparel brand of Westside Storey and grew into a standalone brand and store; the two businesses share ownership.³⁸

Ownership and history

Bellboy Apparel was established in 2014 as the in-house apparel line of Westside Storey, the Westside KC shop owned by Chris Harrington.⁸⁵ Multiple sources confirm the lineage: Bellboy “was started by the owners of the KC local Westside Storey shop in Westside,” making the two enterprises sibling businesses under shared ownership.³⁷

What started as a house brand of KC heritage tees sold at Westside Storey grew into a full standalone line with its own retail storefront at Woodside Village in Westwood, Kansas (2200 W 47th Pl).³⁶ The brand retains the local-maker, vintage-leaning retail DNA of its parent shop, stocking other local and national brands and vintage goods alongside its own apparel.³ (See sibling page: westside-storey.)
