How The Journey Began
What inspired V O Y A G E…
As mothers and sisters-in-law, we've shared countless conversations about the joy, wonder, and magic that define childhood. It's a fleeting, precious time that deserves to be celebrated and preserved. As we were sitting together after dinner one night discussing just this- the impermanence of youth- we hatched V O Y A G E.
We talked about clothes for our own kids that represent the simplicity and playfulness of being a child. We dreamed up designs that would allow kids to be kids, unburdened by the constraints of overly stiff or restrictive styles, inspired by imagination, curiosity, and the joy of exploration and travel. We discussed our constant wanderlust and sources of inspiration from the stories and perspectives each new place holds. We had our mission- we wanted to create a clothing line that would celebrate the whimsy of childhood but that would also allow children to comfortably explore any terrain.
Devon immediately started bringing these designs to life on paper; Kelsey started setting up the business…and off we went!
When we began selecting our colors, blocks, and fabrics, we couldn't help but reflect on our own cherished memories of carefree days spent running through fields, building sandcastles, and chasing fireflies. Those moments shaped us, teaching us the importance of embracing the present and finding wonder in the world around us. It's this spirit of travel, nostalgia and adventure that infuses every thread and print of our line. Our fabric selections have changed and our designs have evolved, but we have remained true to our initial vision:
We have worked and re-worked our initial designs, samples and fabrics for over 2 years before we finally brought them to you! Thank you for being a part of our story, and for allowing us to be a part of yours.
With love and gratitude, Devon and Kelsey
