The Brand
Boston-based & co-founded by women, Lilibridge® launched in the summer of 2019 with a single beach bag in 5 different designs. The hallmark of the brand was, and still is, the original artwork of co-founder, Vanessa Douglas. Fun and vibrant, her print designs are inspired by her love of the Bahamas, the sea and life on the East Coast.
The Artist
Vanessa Douglas is the artist behind Lilibridge®. As the daughter of a New England Folk artist father and a fashion designing mother, Vanessa was raised with a paint brush in hand and a creative spirit from the start. Apart from apprenticing with her father, she is primarily self-taught specializing in hand-painted illustration and print design. Vanessa’s art is inspired by a love of the sea, movement, and vibrant colors. Through her work, Vanessa continues the creative and entrepreneurial spirit of her family, as well as an ode to her great, great grandfather, Lilibridge King Blood, the company’s namesake.
