About Us

Welcome to Lithologie.

Lithologie creates clothes for the best parts of life.

The birthday dinner. The last-minute flight. The table by the water. The afternoon that accidentally turns into an evening. The dress everyone asks about.

Founded by a mother and daughter in Newport Beach, California, Lithologie was built around one belief: getting dressed should make life feel more exciting.

Our world is feminine, nostalgic and a little indulgent.

It lives somewhere between a 1950s soda shop, a private beach club and a beautiful hotel where nobody is checking the time. There are vintage convertibles outside, dessert is always ordered and every dress deserves somewhere memorable to go.

Our designs are created in Southern California and Australia, bringing together the laid-back romance of the coast with a distinctly feminine point of view.

We create pieces with personality. Romantic silhouettes, beautiful details and the kind of dresses that make plans feel necessary.

Every collection begins with a feeling.

A seaside holiday. A country club lunch. Shopping all afternoon. A gallery opening. A weekend with absolutely nothing to worry about.

We name our pieces after the places you could wear them, the memories you might make in them and the version of yourself that appears the moment you put them on.

Because clothing should do more than get you dressed.

It should change the mood.

Lithologie is for the girl who knows life is meant to be enjoyed. She dresses for dinner, stays for dessert and never saves the good outfit for later.

She is playful, polished and completely herself.

She may be going somewhere fabulous.

She may simply want today to feel that way.

Welcome to Lithologie.

Your life looks good on you.
