Product Launches

Serena & Lily Launches Summer 2020 Collection

While most of the design scene is currently thinking about social distancing, Serena & Lily has its sights set on summer. This week, the Sausalito-based brand is launching its summer collection, featuring more than 300 new arrivals.

“Our summer collection is inspired by light’s influence on different times of day—clean light of early summer mornings; noon light’s ability to brighten and enhance colors; and evening dusk light muting everything it touches,” Kristy Williams, Serena & Lily’s chief design officer, tells AD PRO. In addition to introducing new patterns like Beach Bay, Isla, and Beach Club, Serena & Lily is expanding its children’s collection by reimagining customer favorites such as the Riviera Chair and Avalon Daybed in kid-friendly sizes.
