My friend Jennifer Velarde started this company in 1999 (and I'm lucky enough to say I've been involved since the beginning). I LOVE 1154 LILL because of what it means to me, to our customers and to the peole that work here. 1154 LILL Studio is all about CREATING - creating handbags that fit your personality, creating memories with friends at a handbag party and creating a company where people truly love what they do.

On our site you can design your own one-of-a-kind handbag, tote or accessory item (we have over 25 styles to choose from). You choose your style, then choose your fabrics for each part of the bag - exterior, interior lining, straps, etc. You actually see the fabrics "on" the bag while you are custom-ordering online! I have to say it's addictive, even for me and I'm around it every day! There are AMAZING fabrics to choose from - things you will not see anywhere else. And we come out with new styles every month or so. Custom orders are ready in 3 weeks and are the same price as the ready-made bags available in the same style.

Honestly, I love LILL - and I love that so many other people do too! Thanks!

I like this because its big!

I LOVE the fact that you can coordinate a new bag with an outfit you have at home. They come out with new styles all the time, which makes me want a new one every season! New fabrics all the time, and my bag shipped very neatly when they said it would. (via 1154lill.com)

I've been carrying 1154 LILL since they opened. The whole LILL experience is amazing. Incredibly personal and creative. And, the end creation--the handbag that I help design---is a unique fashion accessory.

Over the years, I've gotten countless compliments on my LILLs. People usually stop me for one of three reasons. 1) To comment on how much they love my LILL 2) To ask me where I got it and 3) Just to tell me how much they love LILL.

It is the most creative and fabulous idea i have seen in a long time! I love, love, love this company!!!

I absolutely LOVE Lill handbags! They are so unique and to design them either at home or in the studio with friends is such a blast! The bags can represent your individual style since there are so many to choose from. I cannot praise these bags enough - love them!
