Mary-Kate and Ashley Olsen have once again entered the fashion design fray.

The former child actresses, 23, are set to launch a new mass-market line for J.C. Penney department stores, Women's Wear Daily first reported.

The travel-themed sportswear and accessories line will be available in 600 stores nationwide.

Called Olsenboye, the mid-priced juniors' line will feature various collections, each of which will highlight a different city of interest to the twins. The merchandise will include denim, bottoms, tops, dresses, skirts, shorts, jackets, handbags and shoes. The line will retail from $20 to $50 and is being designed to be mixed to create different looks. The items will be available in sizes 0 to 15.

"It's really important that Olsenboye serves lots of girls," Liz Sweney, Penney's executive vice president and general merchandise manager, said. "It's not just about girls size zero or one."

Check out the day's top celeb news photos.

Their clothing hits select store shelves and the J.C. Penney's Web site beginning in early November. The full collection will be available in February.

Mary-Kate and Ashley, worth an estimated $300 million combined, also helm high-end clothing lines The Row and Elizabeth and James. They also had a short-lived girls' clothing line at Wal-Mart.

    Be it that it may, like the other girl said, maybe they will make something decent that we can afford but actually, i think not. the way they make clothes today, ha ha. so if they are doing a cheap line, God only knows what its gonna look like~~ def not for me. Their other line was/is so expensive. Yeah i wanna make them richer. NOT!

    They are small and petite girls which is why they are thin.

    The Olson twins 1) Look horrible 90% of the time, like in the picture above 2) Are RAIL thin and obviously unhealthy, sunken eyes, bone portruding from their bodies...what on earth do they know about "Sportswear", it't not like either one works out! They just smoke and do drugs to stay thin This clothing line is going to tank.
