Raised in Virginia, Lolita won various art awards as a child; her family and friends were amazed at the depth of her creative play. As for her heritage, Lolita stands by a family tradition of creativity and innovation. “I come from a long line of creative tinkerers,” she says. “My great, great uncle was Cyrus McCormick, inventor of the reaper, and my father has more inventions than I could ever count!” Her enthusiasm, in addition to her artistic and imaginative talents, led Lolita to a career in the fashion industry. Here, her double major in Fine Arts and Marketing served her well, and she was soon working for the likes of Christian Dior and Donna Karan. Today, Lolita has won legions of devoted fans and impressed retailers with the popularity of her line of beautiful, whimsical and uniquely designed products.
It was with the founding of her own company in 2000, however, that Lolita truly returned to her first love: art and design. When she came to naming her company, she chose her given name, one that came from her grandmother’s name, Lola: Lolita, meaning “beautiful one.” Her return to art has led directly to a product that does not disappoint. Filling a niche in a market whose customers desire unique and stylish home goods, Lolita chooses to use only the best materials and to stay ahead of trends, thus giving her retailers a perfect product. Not only are the glasses individually stunning, but their unique marketing twist also makes them instant collectibles. While customers rave about the designs themselves, they are equally appreciative of the recipes written on the bottom. And with fifty unique martini glass designs alone, there is sure to be one for every taste, a recipe for each martini-lover... and wine-lover... and margarita-lover...and beer-lover...
"I'm just a girl at heart, playful and spontaneous. Laughing out loud inspires me to create. But, the woman in me has had a few memorable moments of my own. Knowing that you do too has led me to this inspiration for a collection of targeted designs, lovingly created for the consumer in all of us." ~Lolita
