2019: The Year in Review (And Holiday Closures)

Merry Christmas, everyone! The holidays have rushed upon us once again and we’re busy packing up all of your orders before taking a much needed year-end vacation.

All orders placed between 12/23/19 to 12/29/19 will ship on 12/30/19. We’re popping in on that Monday after Christmas to get all of your orders out, then we’re putting our pajamas back on and sleeping through 12/31/19 and 1/1/20. We’ll be back in the studio on 1/2/20 refreshed and ready to get the new decade off to a great start!

2019 has been a wonderful year for us. We worked so hard creating one-of-a-kind pieces and really pushing our creativity in the studio with new designs. Below we’ve highlighted some of our favorites from this year.

The Best of 2019:

We wish you a very Merry Christmas and all the best for a happy and healthy 2020!

See you next year!

Trend Alert: Animal Prints

From fashion to home decor, animal prints never go out of style. Paying homage to our furry friends in the animal kingdom will always add that “wow” factor to your look.

We’ve offered a range of animal prints and motifs for years, and they remain hugely popular. Here are some of our current favorites:

Tiger Show Jacket 1X

This is one of our wildest designs yet! Vibrant faux printed tiger, coordinating golden zig-zags, and tons of clear crystals — this look will turn heads with its edgy and bold style.

Mustard Showmanship Suit XS/S

Gorgeous snakeskin overlays, with black sueded applique, geometric embellishments, and loaded with huge sew-on triangle crystals. This flattering design is the height of fashion. Our mustard base is the perfect color for fall, and this jacket comes with matching fabric for pants.

Blue Crocodile Jacket M

With vibrant blue faux printed crocodile, geometric elements in marbled black and white, and loaded with crystals, this look is absolutely striking.

Heavy Metal All Day Shirt XS-1X

Perhaps you’re looking for just a touch of animal print fun and a ton of other random stuff all in one shirt. We’ve got just the thing! Our Heavy Metal All Day Shirt has a light gray snakeskin motif to satisfy your snakeskin needs, along with floral horses, various metal chains, metal spikes, crystal clear rhinestones, flowers and flourishes, all in a variety of colors including blue, lilac, royal purple, gold, black, green, silver and more! In short, this shirt has it all. Perfectly symmetrical for a polished look and available in sizes XS-1X.

Don’t be shy! Indulge in your wild side, as they say. Shop our animal prints here.

Say Hello to Color

Happy Friday! Things are heating up here in L.A. which means summer is in full swing. Bright, vibrant colors are a staple of any summer wardrobe, and your show wardrobe should be no different.

You know we love black around here — it’s long been our signature color for its sophisticated and slimming look as well as its ability to go with pretty much anything. But after many requests to shake things up with more color options, this summer we’ve added to our line with three new base colors: Chambray, Mustard, and Sexi Wine. (That’s right folks, we’re spelling Sexi with an i.) These are all the same kind of fabric as our black jackets — a medium to heavy weight stretch knit, with the perfect soft and luxurious feel.

Our Chambray is an absolutely lovely shade of blue, similar to denim with a slight texture.

We LOVE this happy shade of mustard. This color is so much fun. It’s fashion-forward and edgy especially when paired with black. This is sure to stand out in the ring.

Our Sexi Wine is a deep, gorgeous shade of burgundy, flattering and versatile. Added bonus: these are sold with matching pants made from the same fabric, for a perfectly coordinated professional look.

For more looks, check out our entire collection here.

Have a great weekend!

This Week in Review

Happy Friday! I hope this week was as good for you as it was for us. Our one-of-a-kinds are flying out the door at top speed. And our PANTS, whew! We launched our VersaLuX* Black Show Pants last week with a run of sizes Small to 1X…and they are already almost gone! Not to worry though, they will be restocked very soon in sizes XS-5X. We redesigned our pants using our signature black fabric (it’s the same fabric we use for our jackets, and thus a PERFECT match), and we removed the zipper for a cleaner, more comfortable fit. Just pull ’em on and you’re ready to go! The feedback so far has been overwhelmingly positive, and we can’t wait to offer them in all sizes!

 VersaLuX* Black Show Pants S-1X

We’ve also been hard at work making unique one-of-a-kind jackets and vests for y’all. We’ve just gotten some brand new elements that we’re super excited about. Whenever we get new embellishments it’s like Christmas day around here — we tear open packages like wild animals, and then there’s a lot of ooh-ing and aah-ing as we imagine endless possibilities of beautiful color combinations and shapes and styles. Our latest one-of-a-kinds feature our newest geometric elements. They’re edgy and sophisticated, and needless to say, we’re in love. Here are a few favorites featuring these new elements:

Iridescent Vest and Undershirt Set S/M

Black on Black Horsemanship Shirt M

Sky Blue and Cocoa All Day Jacket 1X

This week was also a good one because little Gabe came in for a visit.

A very tiny dog with a big personality, Gabe puts smiles on all of our faces. He may not have the sweetest breath, but he has the sweetest little face.

Have a wonderful weekend, everyone!

What Sets Lisa Nelle Apart

There are a lot of choices out there for western attire. While years ago there were only a handful of companies working in the western world, nowadays it seems your options are endless. From simple affordable shirts to highly embellished one-of-a-kind pieces, you’ll have no trouble finding what you’re looking for…thanks to the internet.

So what sets Lisa Nelle apart?

Our garments are not mass produced. We sew and design each and every piece here in our Los Angeles studio. From sourcing our beautiful fabrics, to embellishing, to sewing, we take care every step of the way. You won’t find asymmetry in a print that should be symmetrical. You won’t find messy glue on the fabric. And you certainly won’t find threads flying every which way from our seams. Why? Because our team takes pride in our work; we all have a common goal we work toward every day — making you look your best.

Hard at work in our studio!

Some of our unique embellishments.

It’s easy to spot a Lisa Nelle in the ring. Lisa’s esthetic is always fresh and modern and completely unique. We love and admire the work of our favorite designers, and are often inspired by what we see. But we NEVER copy other designers. Over the years we’ve had the unfortunate experience of finding garments that are exact copies of our designs. We’ve even found a company copying and pasting our wording from our website! Lately there’s been quite a bit of controversy on social media about companies purchasing knock-offs from manufacturers overseas. We get emails almost every day from these manufacturers, and the garments tend to be low-quality and offered at low prices. For a customer on a budget, the temptation is somewhat understandable…but for a retailer to knowingly purchase a copy is simply unacceptable. We know all too well that terrible feeling of violation when your art is stolen. This is why we feel it’s so important to support designers and artists in all industries.

Works in progress.

If you follow us on Instagram, you’ll find us pulling back the curtain on our design process. We hope you’ll follow along with us for a peak inside our process, to get to know the care and love that goes into every piece we make for you.

We work hard to be original, and above all, true to ourselves by creating with integrity. When you purchase a Lisa Nelle, you’re purchasing an original Lisa Nelle design.
