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. 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 grandmothers 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 twenty-five unique designs,
there is sure to be one for every taste, a recipe for each martini-lover.
