Littl by Lilit is a new label for children, based in Berlin and directed by Lilit Borkowsky.

Lilit grew up in Berlin and Rome. After studying design in London she worked for a number of fashion production companies in Berlin including Nowadays and Uslu Airlines.

In 2008 Lilit followed her dream to create a children’s fashion label and travelled around India looking for a fair trade production factory. She chose one in Jaipur (Rajasthan), an area known for its block printing techniques. Lilit currently divides her time between Berlin and Jaipur, taking inspiration from both cities and managing the manufacturing and production of all garments in person.

The first Littl by Lilit collection (Spring / Summer 2010) was snapped up by over 20 selected boutiques in Europe and the US, including Sweet William in New York and Emma and Co. in Berlin.

Lilit’s style is influenced by a passion for Indian fabrics and printing techniques mixed with a research into geometric patterns. German minimalism meets Indian traditional attire to create garments that have timeless yet contemporary shapes, a classic and understated colour scheme, and carefully selected materials. Lilit’s ambition is to create practical, comfortable and individualistic clothes for urban children.

Littl by Lilit offers garments for children for age groups 2+3, 4+5, 6+7 and 8+9, and a few selected items for mums too. The clothes can be worn over a long period of time starting with an airy oversized look, taking on a more fitted appearance when the child is growing.

All garments are 100% cotton, and prints are made using the ancient Indian technique of block printing.
