Have you ever gone listlessly from boutique to boutique, envisioning exactly what you seek in a purse or pocketbook but finding only disappointment? Have you ever wanted to unleash your inner designer and dictate the form of your handbag to the smallest detail? Well, now you can. While 1154 Lill Studio carries ready-made designer accessories, its unique specialty is total customization. Customers are able to mix and match components -- the stitching, the fabric, the colors, the pattern, the buttons and clasps, even the straps are subject to the customer's unique aesthetic vision. This can be done either on 1154 Lill's website (where you can even chat live with a professional consultant) or by throwing a Handbag Party -- either at 1154 Lill Studio or at your own home or business -- where you and your friends can drink, snack on hors d'oeuvres and articulate your design ideas in a fun, festive workshop setting in the presence of a design professional. Hosting such a party even entitles you to a discount. Your design is then sent to Chicago, where your handbag is manufactured to your exact specifications and, within three weeks, shipped to 1154 Lill's Newbury Street location. "What a beautiful bag!" your friends will gush. "Who's the designer?" How satisfying it will be to say, "I am."
