About Us

Some stories begin with a dream.
Ours began with a friendship.

In the fall of 2001, two best friends, Lily Hart and Mea Collins, walked through quiet streets with nothing more than sketchbooks under their arms and a shared love for timeless, feminine design. With a handful of fabrics, a few handmade displays, and a vision bigger than themselves, they opened the doors to what would become Lily & Mae.

What began as a small creative space soon grew into something much greater. Over the years, our boutique became a place where women from all walks of life gather to find pieces that feel effortless, graceful, and true to who they are.

From the very beginning, Lily and Mea built their collections with the same care they gave to each other and to every customer — with trust, creativity, and the belief that clothes should never outshine the woman who wears them. Every fabric was chosen for its softness, every detail crafted with intention, and every design made to last beyond a single season.

More than two decades later, that same spirit still lives in every piece we create. Though much has changed since 2001, the heart of our story remains the same: friendship, craftsmanship, and a community of women who inspire us every day.

We’re proud to celebrate over twenty years of friendship, creativity, and women supporting women — and we’re so honored you’re part of our journey.
