Lolo + Gretch Dahling: Bringing vintage back

Friendship and fashion go hand in hand with this fresh, young line of handbags by Lolo + Gretch Dahling. This Philadelphia based design team is made up of longtime friends Lori Hedrick and Gretchen Miller. In April 2002, they launched their first line of clutch wristbags. Just two short years later, as a result of an amazing relationship and collaborative effort, these designers have now expanded their collection to create a full line of wristlets, cosmetic cases, belt bags, clutches and more.

Inspired by thrift store treasures, the purses combine vintage styles with hot colors and fabrics to give a sense of fun and sophistication. Each bag is individually hand cut and handmade by Lori and Gretchen, and no two are alike. The purses are patch worked with shapes of circles, leaves and stars, using rich wools, crisp twills, denim, lace, plush corduroy and novelty fabrics, perfect for those with an eye for fun and fashion!

Lolo + Gretch Dahling has already been embraced by the fashion/accessories community in publications such as Teen Vogue, Where Magazine, Philadelphia Style, City Paper and Style Bakery. The current Fall/Winter collection can be found on the Lolo + Gretch site, www.loloandgretch.com, as well as online shops including, UBIQ, Funky La-La, and Milla by Mail.
