LIDO is a lifestyle brand that combines the love of culture and travel.
Conceptualized by Heidi Kelso, a Manhattan based music and entertainment media executive (www.hkmediagroup.com), LIDO was born from a 3-month pop-up in the summer of 2012.
Today, LIDO designs and manufactures nearly all goods sold.
Core products include natural fiber resort wear, rugs and home décor.
Vintage furniture is sourced on trips to Europe, North Africa and India. Every piece is uniquely one-of-a-kind, and customized and restored as needed.
LIDO works in partnership with craftspeople around the world, applying techniques that have been practiced for hundreds, if not thousands of years.
Fair trade artisans include dyers, weavers, gemstone suppliers, silversmiths, embroiderers, block-printers, master carpenters, metalsmiths, wood workers and so on.
Everything LIDO produces is small batch, limited edition or one-of-a-kind.
In additional to retail, we offer wholesale and product sourcing.
The driving force behind the brand is the love of anthropology and the importance of preserving these remarkable heritage crafts.
