About
- about the designer
Heather Williams is a San Francisco based designer, seamstress and stylist. Her desire to make lovely
things has taken many forms, from book design to
art direction, yet it is with Lali Clothing that Heather has
been able to marry her innate design sensibilities to
her desire to create quality, stylish children’s clothing with a nod to her own past. Taught the craft by her mother and grandmother, Heather recalls the homemade clothing of her youth as colorful, durable
and unique. When a close friend announced she was expecting her first child, Heather insisted on creating
a one-of-a kind wardrobe. The baby girl, named Lalitha, made her playground debut in the very first designs of her namesake line, "Lali Clothing".
- about the clothes
A fresh take on the nostalgic prints and patterns that grace the grainy photos of our youth, Heather’s clothing combines meticulous technique and her unerring eye
for timeless style. Drawing inspiration from vintage patterns and sourcing distinctive, high-quality materials from around the country – as well as original pieces from the depths of her grandmother's sewing basket – Heather has created distinct designs for all occasions, from an indigo denim pea coat with classic wooden toggles to a sunny lemon patterned jumper to a hand-dyed onesie screen printed with a 1973
Chevy Nova. Custom pieces can be made-to-order
