Our Mission:
We believe in animal-friendly and eco-friendly design that
maintains a balance between classic and modern, structure and playfulness,
and function and style. Note: We are phasing out our products that do not
measure up to this mission statement.
About LYCHEE LINE®:
Founded in 2003 by Natalie Parkington and her creative
South African mother, Dallas Sumerville, LYCHEE LINE® has evolved from
selling fabric stick bags locally in San Diego, California and Boston,
Massachusetts to a more established company with an expanded product
offering sold around the United States and abroad.
The Name:
LYCHEE LINE® is named after a small round translucent fruit
about the size of a strawberry with a tough red skin called a lychee (or
litchi) grown in China, South Africa, and other parts of the world. Natalie
Parkington spent parts of her childhood in South Africa with her immediate
and extended family. In Durban, South Africa men carry bunches of lychees
from long sticks hung over their shoulders for beach-goers to purchase.
Natalie has fond memories of eating fresh lychees along the beaches of
Durban and continues to draw inspiration from South Africa.
About little lychee™:
In 2007 Natalie Parkington launched a mom and baby
division of LYCHEE LINE® called little lychee™. little lychee™
offers eco-friendly diaper bags, handmade baby clothing by Dallas
Sumerville, baby blankets, and a variety of accessories.
