A delightful surprise!

Just before the long weekend is upon us we thought we'd share in our delight at what we found whilst strolling down Marylebone High Street earlier this week... None other than Llily and Lionel gracing the shop window of Matches!

After we twisted the security guard's arm we managed to take a few cheeky snaps of the mannequins and the inside of the store- Love how they've displayed our scarves on the table and our Nude leather biker jacket looked lovely hanging up (really dark picture so apologies iof you can't quite what the fuss is about!)

Get Involved- What's you're favourite image of London?

GARDEM'S beautiful scarf.

How cool is this scarf by French lust label Gardem? This cowl necked creation is covered in grungy charms aplenty.

We spotted it around the neck of Lyn, the lovely buyer from Square boutique in Bath when we met with her last week. Sadly it's 'one of those' that's been lying in her wardrobe for years so alsas, we won't be owning one.

Thought we'd post this image never the less so you can dream with us.

New tattoo print for a scarf-please pick your favourite.

A.

C.

So, these are some of our new designs for a tattoo printed scarf. We have a feeling this body art style will be massive; thanks to Chanel's false tattoo's and erm Sandra Bullock's husband's shenanigans!

Let us know which one (if any!) is your favourite; A, B or C? They will hopefully be available from July- if you'd like to be on the waiting list for one- drop us a line on info@lilyandlionel.com.

Incredible India... April shenanigans.

Here's a little photographic recap of the madness/goings on during our last trip to Incredible India...

What a full on and ridiculously creative trip- jam-packed with meetings from dusk till dawn, crazed outings to trimmings markets in 40degree heat aswell as designing masses of new scarves and a leather bags for next season.

Basically, to say we were kept busy is an understatement!

Thought you'd like to see these colourful images we snapped whilst out and about in the factories, markets, meetings and cars...

Images from top;

• Bold and beautiful close up trims
• THE most insanely extensive braid store
  
• Yours truly clutching some pretty beads and trims (beach bag ideas for S/S 2011)
• Zoomed in of above pic, so you can actually see what i'm clutching!
  
• Sunny afternoon in a very smelly (part of) Delhi!
  

The Joy of working with our factory in India.

So... here are some more flattering snaps of the gorgeous Joy-the latest addition to our factory in India.

Our lovely scarf manufacturer Karan is the proud owner of this little bundle of fun. As you can see, we were 'trying' to check the production sample of the silk python scarves about to hit the Whistles stores. In the end we had to send the little puppy home as duty calls and although he is incredibly cute, he did spent most of the time trying to eat the scarf!
