Hosted in our wine garden (if Chicago weather permits) we will spend the afternoon sipping wine under the sun and creating priceless pieces.

About LHO Creations:

Love's Hangover Creations is the creative genius of two immigrant sisters who were born in Kenya, lived between Botswana and South Africa for a portion of their lives and then moved to America when their parents won the green card lottery.

Love's Hangover was born once they came to America and realized all of those items they didn't have access to as teenagers who were passionate about design & simply making people feel beautiful, they now did in America. What was left but to take a chance and embark on this journey into designing and creating all the pieces they had dreamt they would. 

Slowly they sought to learn the ins and outs of how to trade in America, minus the need for loans, and went from word of mouth clientele to finally beginning to Pop-Up in various locations (long before it was "the cool/ savvy small biz thing to do). 

After receiving several letters on various campuses from HR departments between the US and also Kenya, where the younger sister Emily, returned to study abroad at the United States International University, they finally graduated and noticed they had built a solid client base. With that base, they looked for a location in Downtown Noblesville which is part of The 8 Great Towns that make up Hamilton County where their brother had insisted "everyone would want to live" within 6-8 years. They found a location on 9th street and having saved up from all of those Pop-Ups, they opened their 1st location on the 1st of December 2009.

Most of what they offer is a portion of the world that made up their lives since their parents were determined to introduce all four children to a global existence from an early age. A lot of those fellow students and teachers whom they met in the global-centric schools they attended are now their suppliers and situated in various parts of the world as well as right here in the US.
