Lise and Irene is a love letter to our grandmothers.

We are Cassandra and Elyssa, sisters who have discovered a shared passion for history. 

We comb estate sales and antique markets for beautiful items that hold forgotten stories. We seek out pieces that women before us coveted, pinched pennies for, cherished, lost, passed along. 

With thoughtfully chosen pieces, we curate collections inspired by memories, real and imagined, of our grandmothers.

We value what our grandmothers passed down to us: resilience, the pursuit of pleasure, delight in family, skill in handiwork, and a love of beautiful things and surroundings.

We invite you to browse our keepsakes and create memories of your own.
