My ANDI bag is amazing. Traveling through Germany, not only can it hold a six pack to keep up with the German fellas, but I could carry all my winter wear and camera without worry.

Living abroad in Dubai, where designer handbags abound, I've answered the question "where did you get that bag?" many times. "Sadly" I say (smiling on the inside), "you can only get them in America." My ANDI is perfect for a day out shopping in Dubai, like going to the spice souks, holding my blessed water bottle to battle the heat.

I actually found the 1154 LILL company when trying to find a great versatile purse for my 3 week trip through Europe last October. I fell in love with my TARA bag because the across the shoulder bag is a must when travelling! And with just 2 steps, she turns into a shoulder bag! I got to pick the design to with all all of my outfits! Here is a picture of TARA in Rome, Italy! She has also been to Spain, Croatia, France, and Bermuda!

So I got my BRIDGET bag in October and went to Las Vegas for Thanksgiving. Well we were only there for a couple days so we just stuffed my LILL with a change of underwear and two clean shirts, some makeup and toothbrushes and off we went! It worked like a charm, we didn't have to check luggage and I looked fantastic with my beautiful bag! Needless to say I'm hosting a party on March 14th so I can share my love LILL with all my friends!!

My JEANNE purse was the perfect accessory on my honeymoon in St. Martin, besides my husband of course! It easily coordinated with all of my outfits since it is reversible.

I scored an eagle on Azalea, #13 at Augusta, with my travel sidekick, LIZ. We were stylish and obedient (no bags larger than 10x5x5)






#7 Grace P.





My MANDY bag is as unique as I am and that's what I love about it. I always get compliments on the color and design. It carries everything I need for school and fun vacations. I'll always LEAN twards Lill! Grace Petro, Age 13






Thanks everyone and good luck!

Small Steps to a Greener LILL

We have recently created a “Go Green” committee at LILL HQ. LILL team members have been working hard to implement eco-friendly practices throughout HQ. We have implemented a recycling program and are learning of ways to conserve.
While we are not considered a green company just yet, we are making small, yet important steps to do the best we can on a daily basis.

Our “Go Green” committee is working diligently to spread the message that little “green” steps add up to big “green” results. These dedicated LILL team members can be found sorting through our garbage to ensure all waste is separated appropriately. Such as in this picture where Candice G. is in our dumpster pulling out recyclable materials!



Feats such as this are inspiring to us all at LILL. We hope it will inspire you as well!

If you have an inspirational story about helping the environment, we’d love to hear it! Email me with your story: lilly@1154lill.com

Express Yourself

LILL Bags allow you to express your true style and creativity no matter what your required attire may be. A LILL Bag seems to always be able to not only compliment your wardrobe, but your personality.

Meet Monica W., 1154 LILL’s HQ Office Manager. Not only does she work with 1154 LILL but is also a Youth Pastor for her church on the weekends.

“I love the versatility of Lill Bags, they work so well with every area of my life! I use my DONNA for travel to all of my speaking engagements and carrying all of my books for class. My CAROLINA is great for grocery day, when I need every hand free! My ANNE is the perfect size for the essentials on Sunday Morning. And this DREA gave me just the pick me up I needed for a Friday “business as usual meeting” when I really just felt like being a girl!”




How does your LILL Bag let you reflect your uniqueness and sense of style? Write me and we’ll post your story on our blog!
