Caring Causes - Sunshine Society

A design rooted in love, family and Southern roots, Sunshine Society's newest print, “Lil Pickle” ($68), is a heartfelt tribute to Lilian Smart, who tragically passed away at just 8 years old from a brain-eating amoeba in Louisiana. Based in Louisiana, Sunshine Society was inspired to bring this deeply personal story to life, honoring a young girl whose memory continues to live on through the people who loved her.

Sunshine Society is a thoughtfully designed sleepwear and lifestyle brand known for its playful prints and elevated matching pajama sets for women and children. The brand is carried by leading retailers including Nordstrom, Bloomingdale’s and Wolf & Badger.

Created in honor of Lilian, affectionately nicknamed “Lil Pickle,” the print began as a personal sketch by her cousin, Sarah Katherine Lewis. Wanting to find a special way to celebrate Lilian’s life and preserve a piece of her spirit, Sarah created an original design inspired by the nickname that held so much meaning to their family. When Sunshine Society learned about the story behind the illustration, the brand was inspired to bring Sarah’s vision to life, transforming a deeply personal tribute into a print that could be shared with others.

The Lil Pickle print is available in both children's and women's pajama sets, allowing families to wear and celebrate a design with a story rooted in love, family and remembrance. Even more meaningfully, 25% of proceeds from the collection will benefit Love for Lillian extending Lilian’s legacy beyond the people who knew and loved her.

Sunshine Society is available at sunshinesociety.com, Bloomingdales.com, WolfandBadger.com, and Nordstrom.com.
