Lorrie KNITS was created in the 1990s.  The brand is in the process of restarting summer 2026.  The new Lorrie NITZ is dedicated to women of strength, primarily Lorrie's maternal grandmother, Gladys Peryl Banbury, (1900-1957), a native of Amherst Nova Scotia, Canada. Gladys immigrated to New York where she met and married West Indian native Charles Banbury (1889-1950).  They had one child, Doris, Lorrie's beloved mother (1930 - 2015).
