KING OF PRUSSIA, Pa., April 17, 2021 (GLOBE NEWSWIRE) -- Motherhood. Community. Support. We’re in this together to create a sunny future for all children. With that, Lilly Pulitzer is proud to launch, “Got Your Back,” a Print with Purpose in support of Baby2Baby.

Baby2Baby is a non-profit organization that provides children living in poverty with diapers, clothing and all the basic necessities that every child deserves.

Lilly Pulitzer once said, “If you haven’t any charity in your heart, then you have the worst kind of heart trouble.” The Lilly Pulitzer brand proudly carries on her legacy and the brand’s tradition of giving through their successful and well-loved Print with Purpose program. Past program beneficiaries include BCRF, the Rainforest Alliance, and Jane Goodall Foundation, among others. “Got Your Back” is the company’s second Print with Purpose of 2021 and the 11-piece collection launches April 17th and will be available on LillyPulitzer.com, Retail stores, and participating wholesale locations.

“This print honors the powerful community of mothers as well as our hope for all children to be given the support they need to get a healthy and happy start,” said Michelle Kelly, CEO of Lilly Pulitzer.  “We are proud to further our mission of making the world a happier place one print at a time through this partnership with Baby2Baby.”

ABOUT LILLY PULITZER Lilly Pulitzer speaks to generations of rule-breaking, sun-followers who celebrate the spontaneous bohemian spirit of Lilly Pulitzer. The company’s effortless fashions are truly born from an original. It all happened by accident, when in 1959-ish Lilly (McKim) Pulitzer—a stylish Palm Beach hostess and socialite whose husband Peter Pulitzer owned several Florida citrus groves—needed a project of her own. With Peter’s produce, she opened a juice stand on Via Mizner, just off Worth Avenue in Palm Beach. Lilly Pulitzer’s business was a hit, but squeezing oranges, lemons, limes, and pink grapefruit made a mess of her clothes. Realizing that she needed a juice stand uniform, Lilly asked her dressmaker to design a dress that would camouflage the stains. The result? A comfortable sleeveless shift dress made of bright, colorful printed cotton in pink, green, yellow and orange. Although her customers liked Lilly’s juice, they loved her shift dresses. Soon Lilly was selling more shift dresses than juice, so she decided to stop squeezing and focus on designing and selling her “Lillys.” Lilly Pulitzer became a fashion sensation and a creator of authentic American resort wear as we know it. The brand recently celebrated its 60th anniversary and continues to create authentic printed styles straight from the in-house print design studio. Learn more at www.lillypulitzer.com.
