"We know that parents are looking for trusted solutions that combine style, quality, functionality and value. As we continue strengthening our position as a leading destination for Baby, we're focused on bringing families the products, brands and experiences they need most at every stage of their journey," said Amanda Nusz, senior vice president, merchandising, Target. "Picolette is a beautiful example of how we're combining elevated design, meaningful storytelling and real-life solutions in one affordable assortment to make it easy for families to celebrate some of life's early milestones."
"When designing Picolette, I knew I wanted to celebrate the little moments you'll never forget with your children," said Olivia Culpo, founder of Picolette. "My first year of motherhood completely changed the way I looked at baby products. Every little outfit becomes part of a memory: coming home from the hospital, first photos, birthdays, everyday moments you'll always remember. I wanted to create pieces that felt beautiful and timeless, but also practical enough to be lived in every day. My hope is that years from now, families will pull these tiny outfits back out of a keepsake box and instantly be transported back to that season of life. Partnering with Target allows us to bring that vision to more families in a way that feels incredibly meaningful."
