About Lil' Lou Lou

Lil’ Lou Lou is a first-generation Latina-owned business built from a love of vintage fashion, craftsmanship, and community. I started Lil’ Lou Lou in 2007 while studying fashion at California State Polytechnic University, Pomona. What began as a small collection of Pin-up and Rockabilly hair accessories quickly grew into something bigger—thanks to all the lovely pinup and rockabilly gals who supported me at car shows and vintage events. Their support helped me pay for my books and tuition, and in the spring of 2010, I earned my Bachelor's degree in Apparel Merchandise and Management with an emphasis in Production.

After the pandemic, I found myself sewing more of my own designs and now offer made-to-order pieces alongside my ready-to-ship items. My clothing and accessories have never been produced in sweatshops. Every garment is made with care, using high-quality materials in small production runs. I work closely with small, independent businesses in the fashion industry—people who, like me, value craftsmanship, ethical practices, and fair working conditions.

Running Lil' Lou Lou is a one-woman show—I wear many hats, from designing and sewing to managing production, marketing, and everything in between. Along the way, my journey expanded into vintage hairstyling. It all started when customers at pop-up events asked for help styling their hair to match my accessories. From there, I began offering vintage hairstyling services at major events like the Viva Las Vegas Rockabilly Weekender and Dapper Day.

Lil' Lou Lou is based in Riverside, California, but my designs have traveled far and wide, reaching customers who share a love for vintage style. Whether you’re looking for a unique made-to-order piece, a ready-to-ship outfit, a timeless hairpiece, or a classic hairstyle, I’m here to help you bring a touch of vintage charm into your world.
