Hugh And Lily'S
My vision is for Hugh and Lily’s to become the world's most beautiful and authentic vintage retailer and connector. Hugh and Lily's will be an innovative and engaging online marketplace platform showcasing the world of vintage and creating the go to place for inspiring vintage handmade and authentic goods that are steeped in the heritage and production methods of the past. Showcasing beautiful products while taking great care to ensure quality and style. We will also market our own beautiful food and gift products to tourist attractions, airport duty free and high end retail. These are products to remind you of a time when life was slower and families were closer, products made with care and love with packaging worth passing down through generations. We are committed to doing things beautifully and to bringing the best vintage shopping, wholesaling and shopping experience to young and old people alike, students, creative professionals, businesses and discerning consumers around the world. Our mission: 'To make and rekindle beautiful memories' The best enterprises create ‘shared value’: creating social value whilst competing successfully with the best firms in the world.. We can be successfully integrated into the demands of the global marketplace by competing and differentiating not only on the basis of identity, but by adapting ourselves to the experience economy. The demand for personalised and unique experiences has grown out of informed, connected, empowered and active consumers weary of globalised, mass-produced goods without a soul, a passion, a story of where they come from or for their community. We will build on culture, tradition, place, authentic story telling, identity and sustainability.
