Lola's Rags

Fashion that Marches to It's Own Beat!

About Me

An artistic, caring, funny, honest, intelligent, open-minded, passionate and a bit sarcastic woman that is me. A typical cancerian. I am an indie designer looking to collaborate on projects with other creative minds interested in fashion. My inspiration comes from past times which I love. My designs are one of a kind and made by hand with care.Take a look at my site www.lolasrags.com

My Interests

Art, cinema, culture, exploring (nyc+other areas), fashion, fleamarkets, music, sewing/designing, thrift stores/vintage shops and pinup girl culture.....
