“The new Emily & Meritt Spring Break collection perfectly balances
feminine style and adventurous spirit. This collection evokes a sense of

Sunnies pouch features water-resistant lining to store wet swimwear.

break brings sunshine, style and happy moments, and we created
everything from palm print blankets, to mermaid towels and polka dot
suitcases to make it memorable.”
