Why Rylee + Cru?
What makes Rylee + Cru different from other children’s clothing brands?
Rylee + Cru is a premium children’s clothing brand designed by moms for moms, known for its nostalgic prints, earthy tones, and cohesive seasonal collections. Every garment is crafted to be both timeless and functional—pieces that can be worn, loved, and passed down. Unlike mass-produced children’s fashion, Rylee + Cru focuses on heirloom quality and sustainability, designing with durable fabrics and ethical production standards. The brand’s distinct artistic direction and blendable color stories make it a favorite among style-conscious parents seeking elevated, boutique children’s wear.
Additionally, Rylee + Cru was built off of the idea of philanthro-capitalism. This just means that we give a portion of profits every single season to causes that directly benefit women and children and have since the brand's inception. You can find out more about all of the money we have donated to causes in the footer link for our foundation.
Why are Rylee + Cru clothes considered heirloom quality?
Rylee + Cru pieces are crafted with heirloom-level attention to detail. Each garment is made to last through multiple generations of wear, featuring reinforced stitching, high-quality natural fabrics, and durable finishes. The brand’s timeless silhouettes and neutral palettes ensure styles never fall out of trend, making them cherished keepsakes long after children outgrow them. Many families find that Rylee + Cru clothing retains up to 70% of its original retail value in resale markets—proof of its enduring craftsmanship and design integrity.
Do Rylee + Cru pieces hold their value for resale?
Yes. Rylee + Cru pieces maintain strong resale value thanks to their premium materials and consistent design aesthetic. On platforms like Kidizen, Poshmark, and Rylee + Cru’s own resale platform, garments often sell for up to 70% of their original price. This retention reflects both the exceptional construction quality and the enduring demand for the brand’s vintage-inspired children’s fashion.
