Squeeze De Citron, Old Greenwich: The Squeeze De Citron brand made its formal debut after founder Lila Limon hosted many home nonprofit events to raise money for children’s causes beginning in 2015. The demand for these vibrant handcrafted bags and totes, skillfully brought to life by Mexican and Guatemalan artisans, grew to the point where Lila realized it was time to turn her passion project into a business. The accessories are meant to bring joy and happiness through intense colors, and interesting patterns and many of the collections are made of 100% recycled plastic. Each core bag takes an entire week to create, with an additional three days dedicated to creating the handles. You’ve likely seen these gorgeous bags decorated with beautiful poms around town, particularly at the beach, pool and strolling down Greenwich Avenue.
