In five years, Lissy has grown the company, Little Fish Boateak, into a small team that includes her 81-year-old father, who is in charge of shaping and forging metal elements. Her studio on the Intracoastal Waterway, allows ample space to work while she’s at home with her daughters, the “Little Fish” of the boutique’s moniker.
Lissy’s signature Set Sail collection, launched in 2015, combines hammered metal shapes with hand-sewn textile accents, fashioned in the same way a sail is constructed. Offerings have expanded to earrings, bracelets, and necklaces in a wide variety of materials, including metals, pearls, beads, rope, as well as furs, feathers, snakeskin, and oyster shells.
