About MACRAE SKYE

At a time when the need to improve the future of our planet only grows with each passing day, few clothing companies — and even fewer children’s brands — are infusing ethical fashion and sustainability into the very fabric of their ethos. Inspired by her international experience — professionally and personally — Kim Slicklein, social entrepreneur, humanitarian and mother, founded Macrae Skye around a clear mission: to empower parents to choose stylish yet ethically made clothing, celebrating both a child’s individuality and global diversity. After living abroad in multiple countries and then moving back to New York, Kim recognized how much ‘culture’ played a role in the interpretation of fashion, clothing and style. She also observed that the most beautiful children’s clothing was often designed and made outside of the United States. Having built her career around sustainability, she was disappointed with the lack of options among sustainable children’s clothing — particularly in styles that reflected the bright, boldly colorful, and inclusive energy unique to children raised in an interconnected world. All too often children’s clothing seems similar in design, pattern and color, and precariously gender specific — mostly lacking the unique character that reflect children’s individuality.Read their story
