Lilly Pulitzer, the lifestyle brand known for its vibrant prints and Palm Beach-inspired color palette, has partnered with children's wear brand Janie and Jack to launch a limited-edition collection.
At its core, the Lilly Pulitzer x Janie and Jack collaboration brings intricate archival prints to clothing for babies, girls, boys, women, and men. The collection features four prints, including Ship to Shore — a beloved archival Lilly Pulitzer pattern reimagined for a fresh take on coastal storytelling. The collaborators ensure three of the prints in the children's capsule are offered in coordinating looks for women and men, as well, while the fourth print — dubbed On Parade — is an exclusive children's wear print.
Overall, the 25 children's styles blend Lilly's signature prints and color story with Janie and Jack's polished silhouettes and elevated craftsmanship, creating coordinated family outfits suitable for seaside holidays, garden parties, and summer celebrations.
