'LILLY' (The designer's signature appears in multiple locations on textiles, including in the stripes of a zebra, the whiskers of an otter, and in flower tendrils, curling vines, petals, and leaf veins. Lilly was the name of the garment designer and manufacturer, Lilly Pulitzer, rather than the textile designer, who was Suzie Zuzek.)
