Lylian Heirloom Clothing
Website Design & Build by Barton/Rucker
Lylian heirloom clothing has a long history in the state of Louisiana. Originally sold in the Louise shop in the French Quarter, Lylian dates back to the early 1920's.
Lylian was an outgrowth of the Acadian Handicraft Project, which put gifted seamstresses from southwest Louisiana, many of whom still spoke only in Cajun French, in touch with stores and buyers in New Orleans. They made everything from baby clothes to embroidered evening gowns, Christening gowns and First Communion dresses. for such bygone stores as Maison Roff, the precursor to Maison Blanche.
This website was designed to suit the elegance of the Lylian brand, and reflect the rich history of it’s French Quarter roots.
