How LILL Bags are made
Each and every original LILL Bag is hand-cut, hand-sewn and hand-inspected to ensure the utmost in quality and care for your one-of-a-kind creation. We use only the highest quality designer fabrics and exceptional interfacing, components and findings to create each custom bag to your exact specifications and our high standards for function, durability and style. Our production headquarters has grown in size since we first began in 1999, however Chicago remains our heart and home for the design and manufacture of all LILL Bags.

Care Instructions
As we use such a wide variety of fabrics and each unique Lill bag may be made of several different fabric types, there is no general rule regarding cleaning. Here are some helpful tips to care for your Lill:

1.Maintenance
We strongly recommend spraying fabrics with a protective spray to keep your bag looking clean and new. We sell a universal-use spray or you may choose to use Scotch-Guard.

2.Overall Cleaning
Machine washing is not recommended.
Many dry cleaners will be able to handle overall cleaning. Please look for a specialist that can handle the plastic that makes up the stiff base included in many of our bag styles.

3.Spot Cleaning
Blot stains using a clean cloth or paper towel, do not rub. Soaking up excess liquid from spills or during cleaning can help limit spots left after it dries. Most fabrics are upholstery weight and may be spot treated with mild soap and water. Be sure to always use cold water because hot water can encourage fading and shrinking. It is best to test a small area of the fabric in an inconspicuous place to insure a good outcome. There are many stain removers and spot treatment products on the market today; some products we have had good results with: Tide-to-go, Stain Eraser by Evercare, and Oxiclean. Please follow the directions of the product you choose. After cleaning allow piece to air dry.

1154 Lill cannot be responsible for damage to merchandise due to overuse, machine washing or dry cleaning.

Catalog
We actually consider our website our catalog! We have brand new ready-made bag combinations and fabric choices available almost every week. We only create a few of each combination, which means bags sell out quickly, but are replaced by new combinations just as fast. We love showcasing so many creative combinations – and our customer’s love the fact that they get a truly unique bag that speaks to their personality. Our original niche concept makes a traditional printed catalog hard to do – it would be outdated before it made it off the press!
