A luxurious hospitable summer season
We have been both humbled and blessed over the past three years to partner with some of the most renowned boutique hotels and collections from across the globe. Providing them with everything from Lilos with custom fabric design to our house collection with bespoke trims. We always choose to align with partners that reflect the same quality and standard of experience we like to give our own clients in their homes, giving their guests an elevated lounging and pool float experience.
Our process for working with a luxury hotel is always very seamless, if they opt for a custom or bespoke fabric then we will explore their poolside or villa aesthetic, which usually entails taking notes on the existing outdoor upholstery - sun loungers, alfresco dining chair cushions, shade umbrellas and any other ‘details’ that are unique to the outdoor design of the property. We will then source fabric options from our repertoire of hundreds of Solution Dyed Acrylic fabrics, which are supplied by Sunbrella and confirm the client is pleased with the fabric choices. Our design team will then create rendered Lilo designs, which we share along with the physical fabric swatches. Once both teams are pleased, we consult with our tailors on any additional details - bespoke base colours, logo embroidery, tag design and zipper and thread colouring. Within 8-10 weeks, a unique and exclusive Oliver James Lilo is created.
As humble hotel admirers ourselves, and in the interest of “market research and development” (of course) we have been fortunate enough to travel to and experience some of the most incredible hotels in the world. Some of those including our current partners. We have put together a summary of a handful of Hotels across the globe where you can float on an Oliver James Lilo today.
