STROLLING IN STYLE: “First comes love, then comes marriage…” and we all know the rest of those lyrics. Dylan Lauren, owner of Dylan’s Candy Bar, has partnered with Maclaren to create a special edition Dylan’s Candy Bar Buggy. The rainbow-colored and candy-print stroller has a whimsical feeling so babies can travel in style.
“To me, candy is a lifestyle, and I get a sugar rush every time I can give the customer a taste of it with fun products that allow them to experience the Dylan’s Candy Bar brand in a new way,” said Lauren, founder and chief executive officer of Dylan’s Candy Bar and herself a newlywed.
Dylan’s Candy Bar Buggy retails for $150 and is currently available at all Dylan’s Candy Bar stores, dylanscandybar.com and maclarenbaby.com, as well as other stores. Maclaren has partnered with other brands such as Burberry, Juicy Couture and Kate Spade to create one-of-a-kind strollers for its Objects of Design collection.
