We recently connected with Kari Littleton and have shared our conversation below.
Alright, Kari thanks for taking the time to share your stories and insights with us today. Naming anything – including a business – is so hard. Right? What’s the story behind how you came up with the name of your brand?
“Revellyn Lifestyle Collective is a name that comes straight from my heart. It’s inspired by my three children. I wanted a name that carried meaning and beauty, Adding ‘Lifestyle Collective’ was important to me because this brand isn’t just about what you wear or carry—it’s about how you live. Revellyn represents a lifestyle rooted in simplicity, confidence, and intention. It’s my way of sharing the values I hold close and building something lasting, not just for myself, but for the community around it.”
Awesome – so before we get into the rest of our questions, can you briefly introduce yourself to our readers.
After spending over two decades in the corporate world, I realized I was desiring something more aligned with who I am at my core. I wanted to create a space that reflected what I truly value, purposeful simplicity, quiet confidence, and timeless excellence. That is when Revellyn was born.
The name Revellyn is incredibly personal. It is a tribute to my three children; each part of the name represents who they are and the strength they inspire in me. They are my reason, my rhythm, and the spirit behind everything I do.
Revellyn Lifestyle Collective is more than a store—it is a lifestyle brand designed to help women express strength, individuality, and everyday luxury through well-made, elevated essentials. I carefully source premium, high-quality goods from structured totes to thoughtful lifestyle items that make even the simplest moments feel intentional. I do not make the products myself, but I curate and purchase only what meets my high standards for craftsmanship, design, and meaning.
At its core, Revellyn solves a common challenge, the noise and overwhelm of today’s consumer culture. So many women are looking for fewer, better things and pieces that do not just look good but feel aligned with how they want to live. I help simplify that search by offering a tightly curated collection that reflects beauty, functionality, and soul.
What sets Revellyn apart is the heart behind it. Every product, every detail, every piece of messaging is rooted in purpose. It is not about chasing trends, it is about honoring who you are, choosing what matters, and building a lifestyle that reflects confidence and clarity.
What I am most proud of? Honestly, it is two things: first, having the courage to walk away from comfort and predictability to build something deeply meaningful. And second, showing my children that you can create a life that is both successful and fulfilling.
For anyone discovering Revellyn for the first time, I want you to know you are not just buying a product, you are joining a collective that believes in the beauty of less, the strength in simplicity, and the power of living with intention.
Have you ever had to pivot?
After spending 24 years in the corporate world, I reached a point where I knew I needed a change. I had poured so much of myself into my career, but over time, I began to feel undervalued—particularly as a woman navigating leadership in a space that did not always reflect or support my worth.
At the same time, life at home was evolving. My husband has a demanding career, and our three children were getting older and needing more from me not just logistically, but emotionally and personally. I realized that the version of “success” I had been chasing no longer aligned with the kind of life I wanted to lead or model for my family.
I am fortunate to have a supportive and successful husband, which gave me the opportunity to make a bold pivot. I walked away from corporate life and launched my own business—a woman owned brand rooted in purpose, simplicity, and empowerment. That pivot was not just about leaving something behind; it was about stepping into who I really am and creating a life and business that reflect my values.
Now, I get to build something meaningful, be present for my family, and show my children especially my daughters that success does not have to come at the expense of self-worth, purpose, or balance. And for that, I am incredibly proud.
What’s been the best source of new clients for you?
As a newly launched business, my client base has been growing primarily through organic, community-driven support. The inspiration for this brand came after years of friends and peers encouraging me to turn my eye for style, home design, and hosting into something more. Their encouragement gave me the confidence to build a lifestyle brand that reflects the way I naturally live and connect with others.
Right now, my client base is very grassroots—friends, neighbors, and local connections who are supporting me because they believe in the brand and the experience, I bring to it. Whether it is someone who follows me on social media or someone I bump into at school pickup or the grocery store, there’s a real community-driven energy behind it all, and I’m incredibly grateful for that.
