Hello From Our Colorful Corner of the World 💛

Welcome to the first-ever Wild & Pree newsletter—something I’ve wanted to create for ages. Consider this our new ritual: little windows into what’s happening at our women-owned, size-inclusive, slow-fashion brand.

The intention is weekly updates (manifesting!), but at the very least, you’ll hear from me every two weeks as we build this habit together. Expect behind-the-scenes stories, production updates, fabric adventures, design notes, and the joyful mayhem of running a made-to-order small business.

Why We’re Beginning This Newsletter

2025 was a LOT.

Wild & Pree expanded more this year than ever before. New silhouettes, new prints, new fabrics, new models, new everything. Most of my days were a blur of designing, approving, producing, launching, restocking, building and repeating.

Somewhere in that beautiful chaos of this very full year, I slipped into a familiar pattern:
I became so focused on making the work that I forgot to tell the story of what we were building.

So this newsletter is my early step toward a 2026 resolution — to slow down just enough to tell the story. To let you in on the “how,” the “why,” and the people and processes behind Wild & Pree. To bring you into the real behind-the-scenes of a women-run, planet-kind, size-inclusive fashion brand.

If you’re here, thank you for being a part of our colorful journey.

This Week at Wild & Pree

1. Corduroy Fabric Restock
(We’re so close!)

Our corduroy collection — 100% natural fibers, bold prints, dopamine energy — almost completely sold out in the first 10 days of launch.

Right now, we’re deep in re-printing fabric for back orders and prepping a fresh rerun. If all goes according to plan, we’ll have corduroy fabric back in hand by end of next week.

If the universe is kind, Issue #2 will officially announce:
“CORDUROY IS BACK IN STOCK!”
(Please light a candle for us.)

2. Sweatshirts, Sweater Dresses & Winter Favorites

Last winter, our 100% cotton sweatshirts had their moment. This year, we brought them back in new prints plus launched sweater dresses — our cozy, feel-good take on winter dressing.

As someone who lives for one-and-done outfits, I’ve been wearing them everywhere:
• to work
• to small holiday gatherings
• to weekend date nights
• anywhere that requires effort but… not too much effort

And on Sunday, I layered a sweatshirt under overalls for a coffee + grocery + gift-shopping run. Zero effort. Maximum cozy. Exactly the vibe.

4. Pantone’s Color of the Year:
Cloud White — Thoughts From a Color Lover

I absolutely cackled watching creators react to Pantone picking a white as the color of the year. The outrage! The memes! The betrayal!

As someone who adores bold, joyful color, I get it.

But: as a designer? I kinda understand it.

When we launched our Milk White range this year, we had the exact same debate:
“Are we, a rainbow-colored brand, really about to release white?”

And the answer turned out to be a big YES.

White (and black) aren’t boring — they’re the stage lights that make every bright print look even brighter. They let color roar. They create contrast, depth, and balance.

So while Cloud White might not feel like a firework, it does have a very real place in the world of color.

Curious: what do you think of the choice?
