I hope you know that I REALLY love love love our Lids. I designed them for practical moms (like me), who want their kiddos to look stylish (like I used to be). My kiddos REALLY wear them all the time.
Eli’s Lids has been slowly growing! I cant believe I made the first Lid for Eli 5 years ago! (Eli at 5 months old in my first prototype)
Once they started selling a bit, we couldn’t afford a whole roll of different colored fabric, so I painstakingly hand dyed light fabric for some basic colors. Just 7 Lids in each color the first time! Then we got cute tags for the back. Boy did I feel awesome when I saw my logo in a woven tag!! (Eli at 16 months in one of my dyed Lids with the outside tags)
Then we got to buy whole rolls of colored fabric. That was AMAZING.
I couldn’t believe it! (December 2010)
As we grow, I get to add more and more to Eli’s Lids.
We are growing because of you!
Y-O-U!!!
I always want Eli’s Lids to be changing and growing and evolving. (And myself, for that matter!)
I want to be better than the rest.
Because of you!
Y-O-U!
My vision for Eli’s Lids is changing as well.
We’ll always make awesome Lids for hip kiddos. And we’ll always get to help some great people. (Surfers Healing & Henry)
But now we get to change the world.
Just a little… or maybe a lot.
More on that in a few months. (Waiting is lame. Sorry.)
Something I can tell you now…
In about a month we’ll have some new colors!
I love them.
Ocean Aqua, Spring Green and O-live You.
(Get it? I love you, O-live you. Yes? or not so much? If you can think of a better name for Olive-ish, brown-sih, green-ish than you’ll get a free Lid. REALLY!)
What’s after that??
“I’ll never tell!!”
“Neither will we!!!”
