Few names in art and design have the same elegance and cross-cultural resonance as Lolita Lorenzo. The creation of Kenyan-American designer and artist Carol Muthiga, Lolita Lorenzo reflects a classic style influenced by a diverse range of cultures and the enchanted streets of Paris.

Born in Nairobi, Carol spent her early years moving to Canada. Her path to becoming Lolita Lorenzo was as varied as the sources of inspiration she used. After taking a break to raise her girls in Paris, rekindling her passion for design, Carol created the elegant collection that carries her daughters' names, Chiara Lola and Siena Lorenza.
