KatyBug Faye recently opened its second location at the fabulous Casa Paloma Shopping Center in Chandler, at the corner of Ray Road and 56th Street.

Nearly two years after owner Lisa Looney opened her first location in South Chandler, KatyBug Faye has achieved a strong local following and gained a reputation for offering fashionable and on-trend styles at a reasonable price. KatyBug Faye has become the East Valley’s go-to boutique for designer denim, flirty and sophisticated tops, colorful dresses and accessories that seamlessly tie an outfit together.
