"We are so excited to offer this first-ever Coastal Living line of easy, breezy clothing," said Coastal Living Editor-in-Chief Antonia van der Meer. "We chose to partner with Fresh Produce because both brands are about living a happy, beautiful life on the shore."

"This is a perfect collaboration between two brands that are complementary of each other," said Fresh Produce Founder and Chief Brand Officer Mary Ellen Vernon. "We're honored that Coastal Living has chosen Fresh Produce to bring its brand to life through women's apparel, and we are thrilled to be expanding the reach of our brand to more of its audience."

The partnership between Coastal Living and Fresh Produce will also include in-store activations such as launch parties and a dedicated Coastal Living footprint in Fresh Produce's 28 stores, as well as content integration across both brands' social media platforms and on Fresh Produce's online radio station "Radio in Color."
