The Real Lily and Lionel

Lily and Lionel is a story of heritage. A husband and wife based in London's East End, Lily worked in secret as a seamstress, spending evenings sewing elaborate creations for her family, whilst Lionel worked in production supplying leading British high street fashion retailers after the Second World War.

Lily and Lionel's ardour and dedication to the fashion industry is a discernable family trait. Alice, who studied design at the London College of Fashion, had a vision to share the treasures of her travels, her unique style and the expertise passed onto her by her late grandparents.
