Kmart & Celebrity Mother-Daughter Duo Launch 'Spencer by Jaclyn Smith' Layette Collection

HOFFMAN ESTATES, Ill., Aug. 16, 2017 /PRNewswire/ -- Jaclyn Smith, a beloved Kmart brand partner for more than 32 years, is unveiling an infant wear line exclusive to Kmart - Spencer by Jaclyn Smith. Launching in select stores on September 17 and available now for online presale at Kmart.com*, Jaclyn drew inspiration from her granddaughter Bea, born last year, in designing a collection with her daughter Spencer Margaret. The new line embodies precious childhood moments with soft, classic baby pieces and products. Spencer by Jaclyn Smith makes it easier than ever for new and expecting parents to get ready for their baby's arrival by offering comfortable yet trendy everyday baby essentials at an affordable Kmart price.

"This collection truly embodies the emotions and cherished time when a baby joins a family," said actress, model, Kmart designer and first-time grandmother Jaclyn Smith. "The delicate whimsical prints, playful artwork and modern color palette for baby girls and boys celebrates the sweet moments of welcoming a baby to the family that moms, dads – and grandmothers like me – are sure to love."

Inspired by the unbreakable bond between a mother and daughter, Spencer by Jaclyn Smith represents the magical connection a newborn makes across multiple generations.  

"When my mother approached me about designing a layette collection I was delighted to help bring the idea to life," said Jaclyn's daughter, Spencer Margaret Richmond. "As a new mom, I know the importance of finding the right staples for your baby. I saw this collaboration as a great opportunity to create affordable, durable and ultra-soft baby wear options that today's modern moms are looking for and actually want and need."

Ranging in sizes from newborn to 12 months, all items in the collection are beautifully packaged in gift boxes with a to/from hangtag and the line's signature fox ribbon, making it easy for Kmart members to find the perfect gift for baby showers or to welcome a new little bundle. Designed with ultra-soft 100% cotton and cotton blends, the high-quality fabrics make the pieces as durable as they are adorable. The entire line is affordably priced from $19.99 to $29.99 and features an array of layette essentials including:

• 4 Piece Take Me Home Set complete with footed long sleeve sleep suit, top knot beanie cap, snap closure bib and coordinating receiving blanket or the 2 Piece Set including cotton jersey long sleeve top and french terry jogger pants make great giftables
