LILA's Inaugural Gift Guide

LILA's Inaugural Gift Guide

Gift buying can be tricky – or an absolute treat! What’s the secret? For the stylish ladies on your list, consult our first-ever Holiday Gift Guide. We're sharing exciting attire, accessories, jewelry and more from our international collection of unique and chic finds – all new to the United States! Each piece showcases the fabulously made handiwork of foreign designers who (until now) have been flying under the fashion world’s radar, and who are now setting the standard for quality, craftsmanship and culturally inspired artistry. 

 

Here’s a look at our top ‘must-haves’ for the holiday season…

 

Seasonal Staple with a Grecian Twist: Cool breezes encourage us to accessorize with flowy, silk scarves that can be worn a dozen ways. The 100% pure twill silk Grecian Chic scarves by designer Elena Zournatzi show off mesmerizing designs depicting the culture of her birth country, Greece. Tie one in your hair to feel like Audrey Hepburn in Roman Holiday, drape one over your shoulders for a demure look, or twist the scarf into a silky belt. Whatever you do, feel like a star!

Tartan Rules Our Winter Wardrobe: Tartan is the Scottish Highlands’ claim to fame, yet this classic print is on every runway, the perfect essential for a pulled together look on a chilly day. For our LILA Scots Collection we partnered with Scotland’s Strathmore Woolen Company to offer 100% pure new wool kilts, tammy hats, and scarves. Each style and pattern speaks to a different personality type, from your ‘inner royal’ to ‘traditionally chic.’ Check it out! [Pictured: Thomson Grey Modern Tammy and Mini Kilt]

 

 

 

Sleeping Beauties: Daddy & Fox, a South African sleepwear company, makes pajamas that look and feel like a dream. The beautiful, Indian silk PJ set that has captivated us this fall caresses the skin, pleases the eye, and miraculously fits a broad range of body types. On top of that, the unusually durable fabric is made for marathon sessions of snoozing, lounging, and indulging in any act of reverie. Bedtime can’t arrive soon enough.

Color Me Bejeweled: Warm chocolate browns, cozy caramels, creamy hues, and soft greens are the rich colors that dominate our fall collection of LILA Luxe Jewelry. Designed and handmade by local artisans in Athens, Greece, every jewelry piece is utterly unique and features genuine semi-precious stones like jade, cat-eye, turquoise, mother-of-pearl, onyx, and aventurine as well as sterling silver accents. Tis the season to make a statement. [Pictured: Corona Borealis Necklace]

 

 

Boho Beauties to Tote Around: Greek designer TAGARI has revived and revamped the art of the traditional Greek handbag woven in looms, introducing the ultimate in luxury arm candy. Handmade by exceptionally skilled weavers and craftsmen across Greece, every swoon-worthy piece in the collection blends tradition with feminine bohemian sensibilities.

Stay Organized in Style: It takes serious skill sets to carry on a full life! While we can energize with a caffeine fix, the best way to organize is with the 2016 Design Love Planner. Created by Design Love Co. founder Marissa Cristina of Vancouver, Canada, this gorgeous, hardcover day planner comes with clever features to handle all of your daily planning needs as well as expense tracking and more. Slip it inside your handbag like a trusted companion you want to keep by your side. [Pictured: Day Planner in Marble/Smokey Lavender]
