About 10 years I watched two of my friends from college, Jen Velarde (Founder) and Robin Newberry, start a custom handbag company called 1154 LILL. It started with a simple booth at Market Days (where I bought my first LILL wallet), and somewhere along the way it became a chain of stores and a nationally recognized brand name.
If you live in Chicago you probably already know about 1154 LILL (because you see their bags everywhere and because of their presence on Armitage). To celebrate Mother’s Day they are offering a unique opportunity to celebrate YOU while spending much needed time with your mom. They are also offering a special discount to Chicago Parent readers…..enjoy!
How often do you really spend quality time with mom doing something you both enjoy? In the spirit of Mother’s Day, 1154 LILL Studio Custom Handbags is offering the perfect excuse to spend some Mother-Daughter time together – designing handbags! Book a design appointment with your mom at LILL’s Armitage location now thru May 9th and you’ll both enjoy 15% off your total purchase. Sip on drinks while you mix and match fabrics and colors to design one-of-a-kind LILL Bags for yourselves or switch it up and design for each other! Before you leave, Mom will receive a special gift from LILL. Your bags will be individually tailored at LILL’s Chicago headquarters and sent out in 3-4 weeks time – perhaps another time to get together for a bag-reveal session! Simply call 773.477.5455 to book your Mother-Daughter appointment today!
