Is Baby Phat still made?
Yes. Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons launched in 1999 as a womenswear line off Phat Farm and was relaunched in December 2019 under Simmons, using the same rhinestoned cat logo. That is why the logo alone cannot date a garment.

The dates that answer the question
| Year | What happened |
|---|---|
| 1999 | Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons launches as a womenswear offshoot of the menswear label Phat Farm, with low-rise jeans and tops carrying a rhinestoned curved cat |
| 2000 | First solo show at New York Fashion Week; Simmons becomes president and creative director |
| Mid 2000s | Peak: ranked the most sought-after ticket of New York Fashion Week by the New York Daily News |
| 2019 | Rihanna buys an entire Baby Phat archive from a collector |
| December 2019 | The brand is relaunched |
| 2026 | 219 live US listings, 100.0% of them peer-to-peer resale, at a $30.00 median ask |
What the market asks today
| Slice | Listings priced | Cheapest | Median | Dearest |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Titles saying vintage, vtg, Y2K or 2000s | 19 | $13.00 | $50.00 | $350.00 |
| Everything named Baby Phat | 219 | $5.00 | $30.00 | $380.00 |
Method: every US listing naming Baby Phat in an affiliate product feed was pulled on 1 September 2026 and deduplicated to 219 rows. Peer-to-peer asks of $500 or more and repdigit prices are excluded as placeholders. These are asking prices on one date, not sold prices.
The interesting part is how small the vintage premium is. A word that promises the original run moves the median by a few dollars, because buyers know it is unverifiable — and because the relaunch sells the same silhouettes new.

How to date a piece when the logo cannot
- Interior care label. Fibre content wording, care symbols and country-of-origin change between production runs; the outside artwork does not.
- Rise and cut. The original run is a low-rise era garment. A modern mid-rise jean carrying the cat is from the relaunch.
- Hardware. Original-run rhinestone work is dense and set into the garment; photograph the reverse of a stone field and look at the setting.
- Ask, then verify. No listing in this pull photographs a label, so every vintage claim in the market today is a seller's word.
Last verified 1 September 2026 against 219 live US Baby Phat listings in the CJ product feed, and against the Wikipedia article on Baby Phat for the brand history. Peer-to-peer asks of $500 or more are excluded as seller placeholders, as are repdigit asks such as $999 and $9,999. Asking prices are what sellers want on this date; they are not sold prices.

Baby Phat in 2026, asked plainly
Is Baby Phat still in business?
Yes. Baby Phat by Kimora Lee Simmons launched in 1999, went quiet, and was relaunched in December 2019 under Simmons. Current production reuses the original cat logo and several of the original silhouettes.
How can I tell original Baby Phat from the relaunch?
Not from the logo, which is common to both. Interior care labels, country-of-origin tags and the cut are where the difference shows: the original run leaned on low-rise denim, cropped faux-fur-lined puffers, baby-doll tees and velour sets.
What does Baby Phat sell for now?
On the US resale market, a median ask of $30.00 across 219 live listings, from $5.00 to $380.00. Outerwear and bags hold the top of that range.
Do listings that say vintage ask more?
Yes, modestly. The 19 listings whose titles say vintage, vtg, Y2K or 2000s ask a median of $50.00 against $30.00 for everything named Baby Phat.
Where is Baby Phat sold?
Almost entirely secondhand in the feeds we can read: 100.0% of these listings are peer-to-peer. Current-season stock exists at the brand's own retail, which does not appear in the affiliate product feeds available to us.
