INTERVIEW Kelli Murray founder of Rylee + Cru Kelli Murray’s brand, Rylee + Cru, became famous through social media. It is now a favorite of ours, thanks to its unique motifs and colors. TELL US A LITTLE BIT ABOUT YOUR BRAND AND YOUR STYLE. Kelli:Rylee + Cru is a brand based in Southern California.It was born from a desire to create children’s clothes that combine art, style and comfort. The brand is inspired by (and bears the name of) my children, who are a real source of happiness and motivation for me. Rylee + Cru is mainly known for our graphic design and illustrations, as well as our comfortable garments. We like to marry discreet, earthy colors with hand-drawn illustrations. We strive to push boundaries, and we hope to make the most of the growth we have experienced to develop new lines of products. WHAT ARE YOUR MUST-HAVE PIECES FOR BABIES? Kelli: Ever since our launch in 2004, our best-seller has been the “Bubble” baby grow. It is a simple, comfortable product in the shape of a bubble, and is perfect for the warmer months. Our sets are also great for babies, like our French terry sweatshirt and matching jogging bottoms. WHAT IS YOUR FAVORITE BABY OUTFIT? Kelli: My personal favorite outfits for baby are our blouses paired with our flutter bloomers. They are made of super soft cotton crepe in the prettiest color palettes, such asterracotta. I also love our baby overalls for baby boys and bubble rompers for baby girls! Oh, and I’d be remiss if I didn’t mention our swimwear! I have quite a few favorites. 133
