Featured 'LILL Girl' - Meet Briana!

Meet Briana, a LILL Girl since March of '08. Originally from Atlantic City, New Jersey, but now resides in Los Angeles, designer of 12 LILL Bags! I received a few emails about a particular LILL FANatic, Briana. Her love for LILL was spread about the office, bringing cheer to us all. This is why we love what we do and why we love to hear your stories.

Jenny W., our LILL on Location rep for the OC/LA area wrote a post about Briana's party on her blog.

Lets get to know Briana by learning some fun facts about her.

Special hobbies or activities you enjoy doing?
"I really love to travel. I love exploring new places and cultures. I've been to 41 different states and a number of countries (USA, Mexico, The Bahamas, Venezuela, Brazil, South Africa, Mauritius, India, Vietnam, Burma, Hong Kong, China, Japan, England, Scotland, Spain, France, The Netherlands and Italy).
Any fun facts you’d like to share?
I once lived on a ship with 600 college students for 100 days while traveling around the world!"

What began your love for LILL and how long have you been a LILL Girl?
"I was first introduced to LILL while I was at a conference in Boston in March of '08. A friend from grad school told me that she had just designed her own bag at a store on Newbury Street, and I was immediately intrigued. Being someone who has a pretty healthy obsession with bags, I knew immediately that I needed to check this out for myself. So I went back with her, and the minute I walked into the shop, I knew I was hooked. I made two bags that day for myself, one for a friend and got the phone number for the LA rep."

How many LILL Bags do you own?
"Let's see. I own an ANDI, a MOLLY, a DONNA, an ANNE, a DREA, two LESLIEs, a SAM, an ERIKA, a LIZ, an ERINN and an AUDREY JANE. Oh...and a CONNOR! I believe that is 12 in total!

Favorite LILL style?
"This is a tough question. It's hard for me to choose. But, I think my favorite is the ANDI. She's such a great everyday bag. She has plenty of space for all of my daily needs, and she can easily hold some of the smaller LILLs inside (like the SAM!)"

Top 3 fabric picks:

Calla Lily - It's just such a beautiful fabric, and I love the different textures of it!

Paisley Party - When I first saw it in person, I was blown away by how appealing the different colors and patterns were. I knew I needed it on a bag immediately!

Central Park Tweed - I love green and tweed, so I think this fabric was made for me!

“If I were the queen of LILL for a day of LILL I would….invite all of my favorite bag-lovers to come make a bag. I love introducing new people to LILL and seeing how much fun they have while designing their own purse. I would especially invite those who are skeptical because they can't picture what the bag will look like in the end because I know once they see the end-product, they'll be a LILL fan for life! I would basically host one large LILL party!"

Thanks so much, Briana! It was certainly fun getting to know you better. We can't wait to create with you again and see what creation you come up with next!

Featured 'LILL Girl' - Meet Brenna!

We love LILL enthusiasts! We are thrilled when a customer writes and and sends pictures of them with their LILL Bag out and about. It's fun to see what LILL Bags are used for, work, going out, travel etc... Occasionally, our LILL Bags are lucky enough to travel the world with their owners.

One LILL Girl traveled to the "Big City", NYC, and beautiful Paris accompanied by her TARA.
Meet Brenna from Manhattan, KS., LILL Girl for 3 years now.



(TARA is now a retired style, however if you love her you'll really love SOPHIE!)










I've asked Brenna a few questions so we can get to know her better:

What are your favorite activities you enjoy doing? Scrap booking and theatre.
What began your love for LILL? My love for LILL began when my friend wanted to have her bachelorette party at the store. I had never heard of the company before, but I've been a die-hard fan ever since that night three years ago!

How many LILL Bags do you own? I am waiting to pick up my eighth bag on my trip to Chicago in two weeks!
What's your favorite LILL handbag style? ANDI

Top 3 fabric picks: Sparks Fly, Vanity Fair, After Dark

"If I were owner for a day of LILL I would…."Add some great purple fabrics to the line, and probably make myself one bag in each style. Okay, maybe two!

Thanks so much for sharing your love for LILL with us and the world, Brenna! We look forward to creating with you again real soon.

Emily's Pick of the Week

Emily's pick of the week this week is…..HADLEY!!
This over-sized, slouchy hobo makes a great statement for Fall.



This one was designed by Mary J. from Naperville, IL.


The exterior is fun and bouncy with the whimsical black and cream Ink Swirls fabric. The strap is complimentary with the black and white polka dotted Bowtie Weave. The strap accent adds a pop of color in the pink Rhubarb Weave. The interior is black in color, but it has a pattern of circles on it. Fun! This bag is adorable and although it has neutral colors such as black and cream, it still really gets noticed because of the fun patterns.










If you like the Ink Swirls pattern, take a look at our Emerald City fabric. It’s the same pattern in different colors! A LESLIE would look great in that fabric.





Thank you and check back next week to see if your LILL Bag is famous!
