What began as a table on the sidewalks of the Chelsea flea market and Soho is now a spacious women’s clothing boutique with a distinct LES appeal. The name “Lolli” comes from the multicolor bag that started it all: a soft, floppy hobo in rainbow of candy-colored choices. Lolli’s real expertise, though, is with its reworked vintage pieces—an awkward pantsuit becomes a sexy halter dress, a flouncy fifties frock is transformed into a sleek cocktail number—which are carefully cleaned, repaired, and “reincarnated” by hand. These one-of-a-kind confections fly in and out of the store, but always in stock is their famous six-way dress. This otherwise shapeless sack of charmeuse can be wrapped six different ways and spiced up even more with their wide leather “obi” belt. The roomy silhouettes of their adjustable clothing appeal to casual, fashionable types who have outgrown thrift stores but still appreciate a unique find. An enormous aviary of doves and parakeets in the back room is suitable distraction for boyfriends and small children and should give you enough time to take advantage of their free fitting services.
