My name is Brianne Elias, the founder and designer of Milo & Maria. I’ve always dreamt of starting a children’s collection, but after having my beautiful and adventurous kids, I knew it was time to launch the brand. With their love for exploring and my love for fashion in mind, Milo & Maria offers clothes that will keep any child comfortable while also providing a trendy look. 

After working in the fashion industry for over a decade, I knew using sustainable and organic quality yarns in my products was of utmost importance. The yarns are not only soft and easy on any little’s skin, but are also eco-friendly in more ways than one.

Something I really love about this brand is the ability to mix and match a lot of the collections and styles for both girls & boys. The image shown on this page is one of my particular favorites. Both Milo & Maria are wearing the Classico knit sweater. The photo was taken in the old train station at Liberty State Park in Hudson County, NJ. Coming from a family of immigrants who migrated here from Italy and my husband’s family who migrated from Lebanon, keeping those cultures relevant in our children’s lives is vital to us. The train station symbolizes the countless people who have come from all over the world looking for a better life and opportunity. Having Milo & Maria wearing my collection in such a setting brings with it a sense of accomplishment for both our families, knowing we’ve come full circle on a number of generations seeking to make the lives of their children better. I sincerely hope to see more pictures of our brand being worn by little’s all around the world.
