The vibrantly colored, quintessential prints that made American fashion designer and socialite Lilly Pulitzer a Palm Beach icon have adorned shirts, skirts and the brand’s iconic shift dresses for decades. (Fun fact: The intricate designs were originally intended to camouflage juice stains when Pulitzer operated fruit stands back in the 1950s.)
Now, thanks to an exclusive service offered only at the Worth Avenue flagship boutique in Palm Beach, Florida, ladies can snag a textured gold crossbody bag or cork-inspired clutch with nailhead detailing, both bearing the signature “Lilly” emblem, and hire the shop’s in-house artist Melissa Sixma Lingo to hand paint a design of their choosing.
Whether it’s a theme borrowed from one of the line’s popular prints, like “Pinking Positive” or “Mermaid in the Shade,” or a portrait of your prized pooch, one thing’s for sure: Your custom Lilly bag is one you won’t see coming and going.
