about

Mary Potter, creator of Billies + Tilli, has spent her life surrounded and inspired by the woods of New Hampshire and the oceans of Maine. Her curated designs tell the story of a deep love for the natural world which melds both vintage and contemporary aesthetics.

The name Billies + Tilli comes from her love of family. Mary’s grandparents, Bill and Billie, continue to inspire with their shared love of the natural world. The strong Italian roots of Mary’s father's family, the Tillis, lend a colorful legacy to both work and life.
