Lilly Partnerships

Lilly Pulitzer has had their fair share of great partnerships over the years. I still remember walking through Dillard's at the Fayetteville mall when mother pointed out the DARLING Lilly Keds that has just come out. To this day I wish I had bought a large pair so that I could wear them with shorts and a summer polo!
Then there was Kate Spade. This is my favorite partnership of all time as it combines two of my favorite brands. Look at that fun tag too! Gosh, it is a mystery as to why I always let these bags go on eBay. I am just waiting for this one style in my favorite print to go up I guess...at this rate I think I might be waiting another eight years!
Then of course we had all the Jubilee partnerships: Monopoly, Steinway, Jeep and or course Florida's Natural (which still has yet to make its' debut in Dallas). Well, just because Lilly's 50th will draw to an end in a few short months does not mean the major partnerships have to fall by the wayside. As you many of you know Lilly has partnered with Lesportsac to kick off the 'Lilly Loves Green' campaign!

Though the actual campaign will likely launch in November the bags will not be available until February, March and April. Not only are the bags green in that they are reusable (I am for sure picking up the below bag for grocery trips), but they also feature endangered species (you know how I love the exotic animal prints)!
Just when you think you have enough Lilly comes out with something new! It is going to be hard to resist going green with a little bit of pink!!

I'll finally have the perfect excuse to add a LeSportSac to my collection! You must have super cute grocery bags that would put my plain ole Whole Foods canvas one's to shame!

I love this recap!
I will be waiting in line for the new bags - love them!

My cousin is looking for a small Lilly tote in a patchwork print that she can use as a handbag. Does Lilly have one right now?

Thanks!

I am so glad to have found your blog!
I create handmade "Lilly" items that are not affiliated with the company. I am interested in making some sorority related items and would love to hear from some of you, what sorority you are a part of and if there is a mascot and/or colors.

thanks

I LOVE the Le Sport Sac / Lilly bags! I think I NEED a few (in various styles, of course). Thanks for the debut date of these items (they didn't do that on their FB, Twitter, or web site)! I'm GLAD that you did!

Thank you for posting this! I will certainly be on the lookout next spring for these desgins. I would love to use one of the totes for trips to the food market.

I had no idea they partnered with Kate Spade. I'm sorry I missed that one!

I love the keds! I wish I had invested in the Kate Spade collection when it was available!
