The NAPTIME ARTIST: RACHEL ALVAREZ
Behind The Brand: Rachel Alvarez began her journey back into art when her first child was 2. She had majored in oil painting and photography in college and after a few years off, she began painting again during her child’s nap time— which is when the name “The NapTime Artist” was born. Rachel now faithfully paints for at least an hour each day. You could say that it had truly become part of her daily routine.
The NapTime Artist sells custom paintings, from home illustrations to family portraits, as well as fun watercolor art prints! Rachel is gifting a complimentary ice cream print during the Endless Summer pop-up! You can download your free print here.

Pirouette NYC
Behind The Brand:
If Olympic running meant from work, to her kids’ stuff, to check on a fabric, to a networking event, Pirouette Founder Melissa Lorenzo-Hervé would be a medalist.
She’s been at it (joyfully) her whole life. And she wondered: why does it have to be so hard to dress for the way we really live?
Melissa grew up visiting her Cuban grandmother in Miami, where the sewing machine was the center of everything.
Her Aba (short for abuela) could recreate a dress based on a glance into a shop window. The magic of a perfectly-made dress is in Melissa’s very fibers.
