About us

Court and Cabana is popping up to bring an edited selection of resort wear, swimwear, activewear and accessories to the discerning women of Kansas City.  Its curated collection embraces familiar and beloved brands as well as many independent designers that to do not have a presence in our area.

The inspiration for Court and Cabana arose when founder, Courtney Gonzalez, moved to Kansas City and observed a legion of chic women, but disproportionate options to shop locally for stylish resort wear, tennis attire, swimwear and accessories when prepping for upcoming vacations. Growing weary of ordering the majority of her resort wardrobe online - and having many conversations with friends that felt the same - the idea to address this void was born.

Courtney earned a degree in fashion merchandising and built her career in buying and e-commerce merchandising for nearly ten years in New York City, holding senior buyer and corporate positions at Saks Fifth Avenue, Bloomingdale’s and Oscar de la Renta. In 2016, Courtney and her family moved to Palm Beach where she became the retail buying consultant for the five-star Eau Palm Beach Resort & Spa. After three years in Palm Beach, Courtney and her husband determined they wanted to raise their young boys close to family and moved to Kansas City.

Courtney's style has been particularly influenced by her time at Oscar de la Renta where she gained an appreciation for the designer's iconic feminine silhouettes that are both timeless and modern. Living in Palm Beach evolved that aesthetic, having embraced the relaxed, yet refined, elegance of island living. It is her intention for Court and Cabana to bring you thoughtful, versatile and unique pieces that will remain in your wardrobe for seasons to come.
