The company started when Lilly eloped with Peter Pulitzer, which was very scandalous at the time. After, she opened a juice stand which sold orange juice made with oranges from her husband's groves. To cover the orange stains on her clothes, Lilly designed bright, patterned pieces. Customers were intrigued by these bold designs and before you know it, the brand was born.
