Introducing: Jessie Boyle
I just wanted to formally introduce myself and thank you all for your support during this wonderful journey of becoming the new proud owner of Hi Little One (HLO).
As many of you followed Nell and Maggie's journey of starting HLO, I’m sure some of you may be bummed that they sold the company. I want to reassure you that I am so proud to own this company and have fun everyday designing lines, posting on social media and seeing everyone’s support. *Spoiler Alert* We have some new exciting lines coming out this summer that I’m sure you will all love.
