Welcome to Miss Prink
This site showcases some of the media and thinking behind the Miss Prink "heritage" brand.
Miss Prink was founded in 1949 by Jane Coventry Castell. As an Artist and Engineer, she left her home town of Des Moines, Iowa in 1925 and drove to Manhattan, by herself (see car below). I found the formula for this brand in my parents safety deposit box. Having collected the patent, copyright, advertising material and media clippings, we are looking to re-introduce the brand and partner with an organization to bring this back to life in some manner. My goal is to "re-start" the business showcasing how an independent woman made her way in the world.

In 1925, at the age of 25, Jane drives from Des Moines to NYC alone, over 1,000 miles.
