About Lilly & Vera

Lilly & Vera began from a place of love, resilience, and a mother’s determination to support her daughter.

Our Beginning

When my daughter underwent her 2nd brain surgery at 19, she had to step away from college and work while she recovered. Wanting to help ease that burden and give her some financial support, I started selling earrings—something small that could make a meaningful difference during a difficult time.

What began as a simple way to help my daughter quickly grew into something more.

That small collection of earrings turned into Lilly & Vera—a boutique rooted in care, strength, and the belief that even the smallest beginnings can grow into something beautiful.

As a family, we kept showing up.

The name Lilly & Vera is deeply personal, inspired by my grandmother, Vera Lillian - a woman whose legacy continues to shape our story.

Originally from Bournemouth, England, I moved to Utah in 1998 and have built a life here with my blended family of nine.

While my family now stretches the 3 corners of the globe - England, Australia & USA, Lilly & Vera is grounded in the idea of connection - across distance, generations, and life’s unexpected moments.

Today, Lilly & Vera is more than a boutique.

It’s a reflection of family, resilience, and creating something meaningful through life’s challenges.
