Bio:Liz Rich: Co- Founder, Mama of 3 and currently living in Vancouver, BC. Kylie Clayborne: Owner + Co- Founder, Mama of 2 and currently living in Austin, TX. Wee Rascals was started in 2013, born out of a desire to empower children with tales of true heroism. To spark their curiosity and connect them with their own possibilities. With 5 children between us, we wanted to give our own children more options for clothing than we saw in the sea of superheroes and princesses. We wanted them to see real faces and hear stories of courage, perseverance and selfless dedication that has led to the betterment of humankind. We wanted to spark curiosity within our own children and yours, and prompt conversations that matter.Social Handles:Website
