LILINOE HANDBAGS
Most of my handbags are ONE OF A KIND, and now include the latest collection of ALFRED SHAHEEN purses being presented as a Limited Run Collection. Alfred Shaheen is the only fabric designer that I am dedicated to in this way. ONE OF A KIND means that never before has this handbag been created, nor will it ever be reproduced. Every ONE OF A KIND handbag is different. Each handbag is photographed and individually numbered to ensure a unique purchase. This is “Arm Candy” at it’s finest Clutched in hand, gracing the wrist, or draped upon the shoulder, Lilinoe Handbags are a personal statement… an undeniable expression of a woman’s distinctive fashion sense. I take the finest fabrics, handles and embellishments, and weave these elements together in a marriage of creative design and functionality. This is a Lilinoe Handbag…an accessory necessary to every woman’s wardrobe. From design inspiration to the last detail and thread, created one at a time as a work of art; this is haute couture in a handbag. Lilinoe Handbags are lined, have heavy-duty interfacing fused to the exterior fabric and lining, and when design permits feature hard bottoms, interior pockets, and snap closures. As a professional seamstress, for over 35 years I have a notable reputation for guaranteeing my stitches on Maui, from Hana to Wailea. I think you will agree that my expertise as a seamstress is duly complemented by artistic talent with a flair for original design to create a truly one of a kind line of handbags. Lilinoe is luxury at an affordable price. To view past creations, please visit my website www.lilinoehandbags.com
LILY'S DOLLS
Lily’s Dolls are restyled Barbie dolls and doll fashions. Most of my dolls were purchased from adult collectors and have never been played with. Upon arrival in my studio, some go to my “salon”, and have their hair restyled. Then back to the studio for a new dress. Evening gowns are silk, satin, chiffon, and organza. Some of the “girls” wear their original earrings…mostly small studs. I use Swarovski crystal, tiny semi-precious stones and fresh water pearls with glass seed beads to create the jewelry that is not original Barbie. The dolls are created one at a time. Dressed and adorned and one of a kind. I sew dresses and gowns for Lily’s Dolls just like I would sew my daughter’s pageant gowns.
In addition to restyled and redressed dolls, I now have a collection of miniature couture fashions only for Silkstone Barbie, Integrity dolls, and Fashion Royalty...Victoire Roux, Katy Keene and Color Infusion. The inspiration for the collection comes from 50's vintage clothing and features Ball Gowns, Evening gowns, cocktail dresses, bombshell dresses, Rockabilly style, "cigarette" pants and bustier tops.
Only the finest high quality fabrics are used. Fashions are lined where applicable and seams are professionally finished. Hems may be hand stitched where needed and all snaps are sewn on by hand. Each outfit is individually fitted on the doll that is shown modeling the fashion to ensure a perfect fit, just as I would do for a custom made outfit for one of my customers.
The Bridal Collection features one of a kind brides complete with wedding gown, veil, jewelry, and bouquet. Stands are included with Brides.
Shoes are not included in any listings.
Want the fashion without the doll... just ask. Send me a message. I will give you a price.

5 out of 5 starsLOVE these. I bought one years ago and it finally started sowing it's age. I messaged the owner and although she doesn't make them anymore she had a few around and sent me photos. Lucky me! Her work is top notch. Very well made and cute. Highly recommend her shop.

The first Lily Doll. A gift for my daughter. Her gown is a replica of the one I made for her in the Miss Hawaii pageant
Creating items you can't find anywhere else
Some people want the newest big thing...the latest fashion craze, and that's fine. That defines them. It doesn't define me. I want to stand out in the crowd. I want to have something that no one else has. That defines me, it makes me happy. As a young girl, my patient mother would take me shopping. Exhausted after searching, she would sigh and say, "They don't make what you want!" I was lucky back then, my mother was an incredible seamstress. And if I could draw it, she could sew it. Soon I was sewing my own dresses. My love of sewing evolved into a business because I realized that I am not alone in that inspired idea of having what no one else has. There are others who want to beat to the sound of a different drum as well, and that is why I only create ONE OF A KIND items. People have told me there's no money in producing one of a kind items...key word...producing. I "create", and maybe there is not massive amounts of money, but there is a tremendous amount of HEART. And that is my mission statement. To create items that you can't find anywhere else. And to do it with the precision, detail and expertise that one would expect in haute couture fashion, but without the price tag.
The first purse I ever made was a mistake. Well not really....I had used a pattern from the sewing store, but I didn't read the description on back or the instructions. Truth be told, ever since I started sewing as a preteen, I have hated reading pattern instructions. The purse I made was a knitting tote....short height, and very long...perfect for knitting needles and yarn. Not perfect for me to use as a handbag. Failure is the mother of invention. Disappointment just added fuel to the creative fire that was sparking into a bonfire. I just had to make another and another, and you got it...Lilinoe Handbags was born. I still have that "mistake". It hangs proudly in my studio.
