Hi There.
We are Brand Builders, Stylists, Story-Tellers, Designers and Above All, Best Friends. On Our Journey We Have Seen, loved and created so many things that have both inspired and defined us. We love just about anything charming, nostalgic, optimistic and ironic. We believe that women have the power and the thoughtfulness to rule the world, so we wanted to create something that would inspire. Here, on emilyandmeritt.com, you will find our exclusive clothing line, our paper goods collection for planning out your dreams, lots of fun treasures and a sprinkle of love and empowerment.
Friends Forever,
LET'S START FROM THE BEGINNING
We both were born and raised in beautiful Northern California.
We met as students at ucla, bonding over sociology exams and a love for vintage jeans.
Sitting next to each other at graduation we vowed to remain friends, and to one day creatively collaborate.
We styled our first fashion shoot as a styling team and gave our fashion alter ego the name "Maude."
We sat down and officially became a business. Soon after we were dressing celebs for the red carpet and consulting for companies who needed fresh eyes and energy.
Denim Duo! We created the denim line, current/elliott - known for worn, vintage looking jeans. We proudly grew it to success and 5 years later happily exited for new adventures.
The Emily + Meritt brand was born! Through our first collab, Emily + Meritt for Kate Spade, we designed worn leather and sequined handbags and totes.
Proudly inducted into the CFDA.
