ABOUT KATSCH:
Founded in 2015 by owner Amy DeFauw, Katsch Boutique began with a single small storefront in Geneseo, and has since expanded to the two additional locations – Davenport and Coralville Iowa River Landing.
DeFauw, a wife, mother, and former corporate retail buyer, brings both heart and expertise to Katsch. She has created more than just a store – it’s a welcoming space where women feel seen, confident, and celebrated. Over the last decade, Katsch has become known for not only carrying top national brands like Liverpool, Z Supply, Varley, and Birkenstock, but also for its commitment to small-town values, community connection, and personalized service.
“This milestone means so much to me, my family, and our team,” DeFauw said. “We started Katsch with a dream and a lot of hard work, and it’s been incredible to watch our community grow with us. Our customers are truly the heart of this business, and we can’t wait to celebrate together.”
