Jill Milan

Fashion brand Jill Milan offers stylish individuals a new take on luxury. Established by Jill Fraser and her partner Milan Lazich, Jill Milan imports only the finest quality goods from Florence, Italy, combining old world craftsmanship with unparalleled material and design. One of the most popular items in Jill Milan’s catalog, the Thoroughbred Bag, offers customers both style and the knowledge that a chunk of their purchase dollars supports nonprofits. Priced at $1,295, Jill Milan’s signature piece draws inspiration from the equestrian scene, a nod to founder Fraser’s medal-winning riding career. The zipper closes with an elegant handmade horse head medallion in a bright silver hue, and the beige cotton sits handsomely against the terra faux leather trim. Also available in dark brown, the popular model measures 11.8 inches by 15.7 inches with a 7-inch drop, and includes 4 spacious pockets. With every purchase of the Thoroughbred Bag, Jill Milan donates to one of several groups that work to eradicate the slaughter of former racehorses. In addition to directly supporting charities focused on the welfare of animals, Jill Milan helps to fund events that promote the cause. In March 2011, Jill Milan was a sponsor of the 25th Anniversary Genesis Awards, which recognize people in the news and entertainment media who promote awareness of animal welfare issues. A fashion venture that caters to today’s sensibility, Jill Milan continues to garner attention and recently received notice in the French fashion blog So Blacktie, which praised the 2011 Spring/Summer line.
