I ordered my first Lill bag on the day of my due date. I was so fat and uncomfortable when I ordered it. I t just felt so good to create something that was uniquely me, My baby wouldn't be born until 10 days later. I spent that time looking forward not only to being a mother but also to retaining memories of playful, non-mother nightlife days. Now, whenever I use my Lynn and matching Samantha I feel young, hip, and hot despite the fact that I am a working mom who never goes out and who still has 10 extra pounds of baby weight to shed. I love this bag because it makes me feel as vibrant as the colors I chose for it. It's the perfect compliment for the joys of motherhood. –-Heena

I made a Pamela bag because I wanted a diaper bag I could use later. As a new mom you can start to feel a little frumpy and out of touch. I went to a
party with old coworkers and had a blast catching up. With my new bag I feel organized, stylish and still a part of the old gang . I love my Lill and so does my daughter. I can't wait to take her for her first bag!!!

I love Lill bags! I’ve got the purse everyone gushes over and can carry on
with my quest to save the world at the same time! I was actually worried it
would be hard to find nice-looking animal-friendly handbags to go with my
vegetarian lifestyle. Now my very non-vegetarian grandmother and I both carry Lill’s (Ally’s at the moment). This Ally bag is my favorite because it’s the most impractical-looking practical thing I own. The colors in the fabric always blend perfectly with whatever I’m wearing, so it looks like I splurged and bought a purse just for today’s outfit when in reality it goes with everything!

"I love my "Katie" handbag because it's my first Lill bag and one I created with my then three-year-old daughter. While she was sprawled on top of the work table, surrounded by the rainbow of fabrics, she helped me pick out the perfect lavender silk trim for the exterior of the bag and the mauve corduroy pocket for the interior of the bag. The result was a reflection of both of our creativities and an accessory that I'll always enjoy and treasure."

"Making my KATIE bag was the most exhilarating time in the history of all my shopping experiences!...Not only was it extremely exciting for me to be in complete creative control, but it was a big surprise since my mom took my sister and I there on our yearly “End of the Summer Celebration”, something she surprises us with every year.. Let me tell you, it was by far the best surprise of the summer, and was an experience that will NEVER be forgotten!
Much thanks for creating such an exceptional store that we could all be our own designers in!"  –Rachel

I have two words to describe why I love my Lill1154 bag--Fort Wayne! What is Ft. Wayne?? The "city" I live in--located somewhere smack dab in the middle of Indiana--not exactly a fashion mecca. As a stay at home mom of two kids, my style info. comes from cable (mainly the Style network). This is where I saw a clip about the bags. I rushed to the computer, ordered online, and now have one of the most fashionable bags in FORT WAYNE!! It's amazing what a hip bag does for a mom's self-esteem. Thanks for all you do!!
Sincerely, Becky

"I love my "Katie" LILL bag because it was a surprise birthday gift from my boyfriend. He took me to the LILL shop and made it with me even though he was the only guy in the shop, surrounded by gaggles of excited ladies! (He even helped pick out the fabrics, which he wont admit to!!) It is so special to me because he helped me design the most adorable bag. Everywhere I go, people stop me and tell me that they love my LILL purse!"
–Kimberly"I was diagnosed with Type 1 Juvenile Diabetes in January 2001 at the age of 29. I suddenly found myself longing for a stylish, young, hip bag that I could lug all of my supplies in, i.e. glucose meter and instant sugar in the form of "Fruit Roll Ups." I was thrilled to discover 1154 LILL bags upon my move to Chicago! Since then, my reversible bag has allowed me to carry all of my necessary and potentially life-saving supplies while maintaining my happy, snappy and fashionable self! Thank you 1154 LILL!"
