Rachel Riley, the children’s clothing designer, has launched her latest collection, “Eloise,” inspired by Kay Thompson’s storybook about a six-year-old girl who lives at The Plaza hotel in New York City.
Riley has designed an exclusive collection that captures the imaginative, fun-loving spirit of Eloise, and features prints based on the original illustrations by Hilary Knight.
The Eloise collection is available at Saks Fifth Avenue, saks.com and rachelriley.com.

The new collection includes a selection of dresses, legging sets, cardigans, outerwear and accessories for children aged three months to 14 years. It is available at rachelriley.com, and also in-store and online at Saks Fifth Avenue.
The collection includes a wide range of both practical and playful options from Eloise logo-printed T-shirts and whimsical tutu dresses to a black silk velvet pinafore set. There are also headbands, hair bows, socks, underwear sets, vests and footie gift sets.

“We are delighted to share this collection and be a part of the Eloise story,” Riley said. “It is a privilege to work on the Eloise collection and bring her spirit to life through my designs. Each piece captures a different facet of her character and playfulness which is so inherent to the Rachel Riley brand.”
Prices range from $18 to $175.
